2.3 Operating principle
Fig. 2-3 Working principle diagram for the air source water heater
The air source water heater is driving the compressor by some part of electricity
by using the heat pump principle. Through the thermal circuit, absorb the heat from
the low-grade energy (air) in the surrounding environment, transmit it to the heat
exchanger of water tank and then release it to the water inside the water tank for
heating water.
The heating principle for air source water heater and heat pump air conditioner
is the same. Heat pump air conditioner supplies the absorbed heat from natural
environment to indoor air, while air source will use that heat to heat domestic water.
Air source water heater is a kind of new, high-efficiency, energy-saving and
eco-friendly water heater.
