Impressive! Heat pumps avoided 8M tons of CO2 emissions in Europe in 2022
A record number of heat pumps were sold last year in Europe.
Data from Europe shows that 3 million units replaced around 4 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2022 – the equivalent of avoiding 8 million tons of CO2 emissions. It means that heat pumps are now helping Europe avoid 54 mega tons of CO2 or roughly the equivalent annual emissions of Greece.
The figures come from the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) which says the extraordinary growth will likely continue.
Why Can Heat Pumps Help Avoid CO2 Emissions?
The air source heat pump is a reasonable use of low -grade thermal energy in nature. It is mainly based on the thermal energy in electrical energy and the air, and forces the heat to enter from the outside and increases the space temperature. Because it just moves the existing heat wherever you need it, the efficiency is very high, and its electric heating saves about 70% of energy consumption. At the same time, if you reverse the running of the heat pump, it can cool down the room. Therefore, it consumes a small amount of indirect carbon emissions generated by electric energy, which can effectively reduce carbon emissions and increase displacement.
How to Find A Great Air Source Heat Pump for you?
1. The Key Is Choosing A High-quality Compressor
The core components of an air source heat pump include compressors, water pumps, motors, expansion valves, etc. An efficient compressor can better integrate with other components inside the to maximize the capacity of the air source heat pump. As the core component of the four major components of the air conditioner, the quality of the compressor directly determines the quality of the air source heat pump.
Harnitek chose compressors from the world famous brand Mitsubishi, all are driven by brushless DC motors, eliminating the excitation loss of the rotor coils of traditional AC motors, and the motors have high operating efficiency.
The compressor of the Harnitek heat pump adopts DC frequency conversion technology. The outdoor unit can automatically adjust the output according to the actual load in the room. The compressor runs at a low speed when the room reaches the set temperature, which prevents the frequent start and stop of the compressor and avoids the indoor hot and cold. Comfortable Higher performance, good energy-saving effect, and improve the service life of the compressor at the same time.
2. Pay Attention To The Energy Consumption Of Air Source Heat Pump
The energy efficiency ratio (COP) can measure the performance value of the machine in terms of energy saving, power saving, consumption reduction and environmental protection, that is, the ratio of heating capacity (cooling capacity) to operating power. Generally speaking, the energy efficiency ratio refers to the heating/heating produced by consuming a share of electricity. The higher the energy efficiency ratio, the higher the energy conversion efficiency of the air source heat pump unit, the more power-saving the product, and the relatively less power consumption per unit time. The energy efficiency ratio is an important parameter to measure the performance of the air source. It is necessary to choose a system with a higher energy efficiency ratio and more energy-saving.
Harnitek’s 6KW, 9KW, and 12KW air source heat pumps have a maximum COP of 4.82W/W, far exceeding the COP3.0W/W conventional heat pumps on the market.
3. Pay Attention To After-sales Service
When purchasing equipment, the operation stability of the unit is very important, and the installation and after-sales service cannot be ignored. After-sales service is an issue that needs to be considered when purchasing an air source heat pump system. All Harnitek air source heat pumps have 5 years warranty, if you have any questions, pls feel free to contact us by email sales@harnitek.com or tel 86-731-22332201.
