A heat pump is what we need to achieve energy efficiency from the HVAC systems that we use every day. When you use the smallest capacity of a 5kW heat pump, you can rely on it to heat water in fish ponds and even jacuzzis. You can connect this heat pump to a tank to produce hot water or other things like a hydronic system.
Many people think that the way a heat pump works can only meet indoor heating needs during the winter. However, this heat pump is versatile because it can provide indoor cooling in the summer. Meanwhile, heat pumps have also become a basic need in the industrial world. Many industries require heat pumps to heat materials or circulate steam, hot air, and water during the production process. They switch from fuels such as coal or petroleum to heat pumps for energy efficiency.
This is beneficial for owners of HVAC systems at home and in industry. Today’s heat pumps work using innovative technology. This technology allows the heat pump to extract heat from the surrounding air or geothermal heat from the ground. Sometimes heat pumps also take energy sources from nearby rivers and factory waste. Using a heat pump is more efficient because it doesn’t produce a large portion of the heat energy. This pump transfers heat after the extraction process to several places as needed.
This is different from conventional heaters which continuously work to produce heat. Then the heat pump can also have a coefficient of performance (COP) of up to 4 or more, meaning they can transfer up to four times the energy they consume in electricity as heat. You can also combine a heat pump with another heating system.
5Kw Heat Pump for Residential
A 5kW heat pump is suitable as an air source to provide comfort for a house with two to three bedrooms. With the right power strength, the room in your house will radiate excellent comfort. 5kW is the ideal size for small to medium homes. While for large houses, it is best to use a size of more than 15kW.
Most homes in Europe already use at least a 5kW heat pump air source as additional power for energy efficiency and to reduce electricity bills. Then they also contribute clean air to the surrounding environment because using a heat pump can reduce carbon footprint levels.
The heat pump has a high-efficiency full DC inverter compressor integrated with cutting-edge technology. The high performance of this DC inverter compressor system will work together with a brushless DC fan motor. Intelligent technology will make the heat pump easily adaptable to real-time load requirements, the compressor and fan can automatically modulate their speed during operation.
This way of working can minimize energy consumption and at the same time make the unit work optimally.
So, before you decide to buy a heat pump, it’s a good idea to pay attention to the size of the heat pump. While a 5kW heat pump can provide comfort for a wide jacuzzi room or the equivalent of a house with three bedrooms, this size will not be suitable for a luxury house with two floors and more than three bedrooms.
Then you can see the condition around the building. How is the air there and the daily climate? Coastal areas should not use a 5kW heat pump because the temperature conditions are quite extreme. Next, you can check the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the heat pump. This will guide you in showing the relation between the thermal power that comes out and the electrical power that drives it.
Complementary to the 5kW Heat Pump
One of the things that complements the 5kW heat pump is R32 refrigerant. This refrigerant will make your heat pump energy efficient and can protect the surrounding environment. This refrigerant has low Global Warming Potential (GWP). It’s only 675. This is about 32 percent of its predecessor refrigerant R410A. if the GWP is lower, the potential for environmental pollution is small.
R32 will be stable running at typical operating temperatures. This means that the heat pump system doesn’t require high costs and can minimize energy usage. R32’s heat absorption is also remarkable during evaporation. This can encourage an increase in the Coefficient of Performance (COP). The heat pump itself relies on a compressor that moves refrigerant through a cooling cycle and a heat exchanger that extracts heat from a nearby source.
Meanwhile, some use underfloor heating with a hydronic system to distribute heat. So, the hot water flowing through the 5kW heat pump becomes stable with a comfortable heat. The energy efficiency of the heat pump even reaches 75 percent. This is far from the standard heating that we have known so far.
