Air-to-water heat pumps use the thermal energy in the outside air to heat water, which is then used to heat a building or provide domestic hot water. This system is based on an efficient and environmentally-friendly heat transfer process, offering an attractive alternative to traditional heating systems. In this article, we'll briefly introduce the concept of air-to-water heat pumps before exploring their operation and benefits in more detail.
How air-to-water heat pumps work
The operating principle of air/water heat pumps is based on energy transfer, which enables the calories present in the outside air to be used. This mechanism is based on the principle of thermodynamics, in particular the transfer of heat from a hot medium to a cold medium.
The heat in the air is extracted by the outdoor unit via the compressed refrigerant, which transfers this energy to the water. This same water circulates in a closed circuit inside your home's heat emitters (radiators, underfloor heating, ducting, etc.). It is also used to produce your domestic hot water.
Advantages of air/water heat pumps
- Savings :
The energy efficiency of air-to-water heat pumps is exceptional, because they use the free thermal energy of the outside air. They consume less energy than conventional heating systems to produce the same amount of heat, resulting in significant savings on energy bills.
- Ecology
Unlike traditional heating systems, air-to-water heat pumps use air as their energy source. This technology reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions compared with traditional heating systems. They are therefore an environmentally-friendly alternative for heating your home.
As well as reducing CO2 emissions, air-to-water heat pumps play a role in reducing dependence on fossil fuels. This helps to conserve natural resources and reduce the overall environmental impact. Finally, air-to-water heat pumps can be combined with domestic hot water production systems: a versatile and complete heating solution.
- Performances :
Air-to-water heat pumps are designed to work well in a variety of climates, including periods of extreme cold. Thanks to their ability to absorb heat from the outside air, they maintain a constant level of thermal comfort, even at sub-zero outside temperatures.
Air-to-water heat pump fluids
Les pompes à chaleur air/eau utilisent différents types de fluides frigorigènes, les performances de ces fluides et leur impact sur l’environnement peuvent différer. Leur Global Warming Potential (GWP), ou potentiel de réchauffement global, est un critère important pour évaluer leur impact sur le changement climatique.
Certains systèmes de pompes à chaleur air/eau utilisent des fluides frigorigènes naturels tels que le R290 (propane), qui présentent des avantages environnementaux significatifs. En effet, le GWP du R290 est de 3, son impact environnemental est quasi nul. Son utilisation contribue ainsi à réduire l’empreinte carbone des systèmes de chauffage, renforçant ainsi leur durabilité et leur compatibilité avec les objectifs environnementaux globaux.
