New energy has developed rapidly in recent years, and many people show great interest in this. In this article, we will compare and distinguish air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps and water source heat pumps, which are of great interest and most concern to us.
Air Source Heat Pump
Air source heat pump utilizes the energy in the ubiquitous air as the main power, and drives the compressor to run through a small amount of electricity to realize energy transfer. Air source heat pumps do not need complicated configuration, expensive water intake, recharge or soil heat exchanger systems and special machine rooms. They can gradually reduce the emission of pollutants to the atmosphere caused by traditional heating, and ensure heating efficiency while taking into account the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pump utilizes shallow land energy which transfers from low-grade heat energy to high-grade heat energy by inputting a small amount of high-grade energy (such as electricity). Geothermal heat pump belongs to a type of heating and air conditioning system which uses the shallow geothermal resources on the earth surface as the cold and heat source. Shallow surface geothermal resources (also called geothermal energy) refer to the low-temperature potential heat energy stored in the surface soil, groundwater, rivers and lakes, which absorbs solar energy and geothermal energy.
The shallow layer of the earth's surface is a huge solar collector, which collects 47% of the solar energy, more than 500 times the energy that human beings use every year. Geothermal energy is not limited by region, resources and so on. And it is really huge, wide and ubiquitous. This kind of renewable energy stored in the shallow layer of the earth's surface is nearly infinite, which makes it become a form of clean renewable energy.
