Tips to Extend the Service Life of Air to Water Heat Pumps

People usually pay little attention to the details when using the air to water heat pump products, which greatly shortens their service life and significantly reduces the working efficiency. If you take care of these three details in the process of using it, the service life of the air source heat pump could be extended by 10 years.

Installation of Air Water Heat Pump Pipelines

A large number of data research shows that air water heat pump has become the most eye-catching type of clean energy equipment. Its energy-saving, environmental protection, safety, stability and high efficiency attract the attention of many consumers. As more and more families/businesses begin to use air to water heat pump as a type of heating equipment, how to well install the heat pump has become an important part of its energy-saving performance. If the heat pump is installed carelessly, it may lead to some failure causing undesired heating effect, or even reduce its service life. 

When installing the main pipelines of the air water heat pump heating system, it is necessary to keep the pipelines straight, and it is best to make it slightly uphill along the water flow direction. The most critical point: to prevent the formation of air blockage, do not use the U-shaped main pipelines. Otherwise, it might result in heating failure.

Insulation of Air Source Heat Pump Pipelines

In the pipelines of the air water heat pump system, certain heat preservation operation is needed to reduce heat loss and maintain the stability and continuity of hot water. If the installed air source heat pump is a two-way supply system (e.g., hot water and house heating, the condensate drain pipes shall be equipped with insulated cotton and bound with tape to prevent leakage of condensate.

Water Quality Used by Air Source Heat Pump

Another point that is easily ignored by users is the choice of water quality. Soft water is the best choice for air source heat pump, which can reduce cleaning times and extend the service life of the system. For example, in some areas, the proportion of calcium and magnesium ions in the water is particularly high. If the air water heat pump system is used for one to two years, it may cause the blockage of pipes, Y-type filters, water pumps, etc., seriously affecting the efficiency and service life of the heat pump. 

Generally speaking, in order to effectively extend the lifespan of air heat pump, we need to focus on the above three details and actively protect the air water heat pump equipment, so that we can really use the best performance of the product to the extreme.
