According to the different integration densities of the heat pump, it can be divided into monoblock heat pumps and split heat pumps, they work the same, the main difference is that the installation and applicable environment are different. Since the split heat pump water system (such as heat exchanger and water circulation pump, etc.) is integrated into the indoor unit, in extremely cold and harsh environments, compared with the monobloc heat pump of the same capacity and performance, the split heat pump has stronger antifreeze function. Take Power World's air source monoblock and split heat pump as an example:
Power World's Monoblock heat pump is a triple supply heat pump( heating, cooling and DHW function), it uses low GWP R32 refrigerant, Power World's EVI DC inverter technology, intelligent defrosting, and multiple protection measures, especially the A+++ energy label tested by TUV that ensure the units can be stably run in extremely cold ambient temperatures as low as -30℃ and produce 55℃ hot water, which can meet the needs of house heating cooling and domestic hot water all year round. Not only can it connect floor heating, fan coil, radiator and solar system, but also the boiler system (Based on the heating method of the boiler). In addition, its remote wifi function and room thermostat control can achieve a full smart home mode, and the extra two electric heater ports, one for heating, and another for hot water are specially designed for users with higher heating needs. And Power World's split heat pump has the same function as monobloc heat pumps.
Such as the following installation diagram of the monoblock heat pump and split heat pump, the monobloc heat pump has only one unit and connects one water tank, and the split heat pump has two units, one is an outdoor unit and the other is an indoor unit, and it needs to contact one water tank and one buffer tank. When in summer, the outdoor unit absorbs the air energy and outputs the cold water, and then through the circulation system, heat exchange is carried out in the fan coil, and the cold air is blown out. When in winter, the outdoor unit outputs the hot water, and then through the circulation of hot water in the special heating pipe, the floor decoration layer is heated, and the floor is heated through the heat transfer of ground radiation and convection. The domestic hot water function can be realized by reversing the 3-way valve, but please note that when operating in heating/cooling+domestic hot water mode, the domestic hot water needs to be prioritized. This is a new heat pump on the market and the installation costs and long-term operating costs are definitely lower than other heating/cooling equipment.
Radiator system, fan coil system and floor heating system, which one has lower operating costs?
In general, the comparison of the overall operating cost of a heat pump system is that when the same heat pump equipment is used, the radiator method is the most expensive, the fan coil unit is the second, and the floor radiant heating cost is the lowest.
