What's the difference between air source heat pump and air conditioner?

1, air source heat pump: it is an energy-saving device that uses high position to make heat flow from low heat source air to high heat source.

2. Air-conditioning: equipment that manually adjusts and controls the temperature, humidity, flow rate and other parameters of ambient air in buildings or structures.

Second, the principle is different.

1. air source heat pump: converts low-level heat energy that cannot be directly utilized (such as heat contained in air, soil and water) into high-level heat energy that can be utilized, so as to save some high-level energy (such as coal, gas, oil and electric energy).

2. Air conditioning: The compressor compresses the gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and then sends it to the condenser (outdoor unit) for heat dissipation, and becomes a liquid refrigerant at normal temperature and high pressure.

Third, the advantages are different.

1. air source heat pump: there is no need to set up a special refrigeration room or boiler room, and the unit can be placed on the roof or ground at will, without occupying the effective use area of the building, and the construction and installation are very simple.

2. Air conditioning: The task of regulation is to create and maintain an air environment that meets certain requirements through technical means.
