Heat Pump Product Science Popularization: What Is a Heat Pump and How Does It Solve Energy - Saving Pain Points?

Solar energy + heat pump coupling system, this is the solar system showed in our exhibition hall

This is a multi-energy coupling system that combines solar energy with air source heat pump. It can not only solve the problem of hot water for the family, but also solve the problem of heating for the family. When there is sunshine, the heat energy is mainly provided by solar energy. When it is cloudy, rainy or at night, the air source heat pump will be started through the control system to supplement the heat. This greatly reduces the energy cost of the system. This system is not a simple combination of two products. It needs to be designed according to the applications and climate factors, and a suitable solar energy guarantee rate is used to ensure the optimal combination of the entire system when it is used. In addition, the simple solar energy we see is also a mature system-a solar split system. The water heater is placed on the roof, and the water tank is placed in the basement or balcony. The hot water supply is realized at multiple points through the pipeline.

BTE Air to Water Heat Pump is a sustainable, low-carbon heating solution for your home.While most other heating systems rely on fossil fuels, Devotion utilizes renewable sources of energy to generate heat by combining 25% electricity and 75% outside air, making Thermax heat pump a green alternative to your old boiler.

Overview

Comprehensive HVAC Solution: Combining Heating, Cooling, and Hot Water All in One Solution for Any Application

BTE air to water heat pump is not only supplies hot water for fan coil, floor heating system, domestic water tank, but is also compatible with the solar collector, gas furnace, boiler and other heat sources.

75% Energy Saving

The term "heat pump" refers to a technique that pumps heat from renewable energy sources, like the air, ground and water. A heat pump device transforms this energy into a usable heat source via the refrigerant cycle.

With Thermax heat pump technology about 75% of the energy needed to provide heating and hot water comes from a natural air source.

All DC Inverter Components

BTE air to water heat pump machine adoptswell-known brand components in the industry, such as HIGHLY DC inverter compressor, Welling DC inverter fan motor, SHIMGE DC inverter water pump, Heatwell PTC heater(Mono B Series), multi-stage electronic expansion valve components, which can make the unit operate efficiently and stably. 

-35°C Reliable Operation, 75°C Powerful Heating

R32 Series excels in indoor heating, even at -25°C, maintaining a max water temp of 65°C. The R290 Series, with EVI tech, outperforms it by offering up to 75°C and functioning reliably at even -35°C.

8 Units in Parallel

Maximum 8 units controlled by one controller with automatic addressing(For BTE series Mono and BTEseries Mono)

Ultra-Quiet

In silent mode, the operating noise of the equipment can be as low as 50dB(A) within 1 meter, providing customers with an ultra-quiet environment.

The compressor is wrapped in a soundproof material, which reduces the operating noise of the compressor. The BTE pool heat pump adopts a HIGHLY compressor, which operates quietly under both full load and partial load conditions.

Newly developed fan blades are adopted to make the unit run quieter.

Intelligence Comfortable-Temperature Manager

Heating Climate Curve

There are a total of 32 climate curves (16 cooling curves+16 heating curves) for users to choose from, and there are also 2 curves (1 cooling curve+1 heating curve) for users to customize.

Cooling Climate Curve

After selecting a certain climate curve, the target water temperature of the unit will be automatically set based on the outdoor ambient temperature (using different set water temperatures at different ambient temperatures will be more comfortable and energy-saving). 

Electricity Consumption Statistic Analysis

This function allows the user to analyse the heat pump’s electricity consumption at different time intervals and optimise its settings to save even more in terms of heating costs. 

Automatic Matching Smart Grid Control

The heat pump adapts to different electrical signals. The energy consumption of the system can be automatically adjusted based on peak and low power, minimizing heating costs. With this feature, the pump will automatically start to utilize cheaper energy prices or store excess electricity from the photovoltaic system. 

In order to ensure the stable use of products in extremely harsh environments and the quality and efficiency of units.BTE Foshan factory has built four laboratories and one test center, which have been assessed as qualified by the National Air Conditioning Equipment Quality Supervision and Inspection Center& The National Compressor Refrigeration Equipment Supervision and Inspection Center:
