Using Air Conditioning Systems for Heating
Most
air conditioning systems these days are heat-pumps which means they are
capable of heating and cooling. This has been made more effective with
R32 & R410a gas which has a
Air conditioning heating using reverse cycle heat pump air conditioning: Becoming ever more popular the air conditioning heating / air source heat-pump is ideal for space heating areas where existing water systems are in place such as radiators. They work in the same principle as air conditioning and refrigeration but generally the air source heat-pump is used for air to water heat transfer where air conditioning is air to air transfer. If a air conditioning heating air source heat pump also replaced 10% of the gas boilers sold each year in existing properties, the potential annual saving would increase to over 2 million tonnes of CO2 by 2016. By transforming the energy found naturally in outdoor air and using that to help provide cost effective heating, we’ve already established the efficiency of air conditioning heating systems and the fact that it ‘upgrades’ energy. Take that one step further and consider using air conditioning heating powered by electricity from a renewable energy source such as wind, biomass, solar or tidal and you could have a heating system that is zero carbon rated. Another advantage with air conditioning heating is it’s ease of installation and design flexibility. A perfect answer to those wide areas of the UK that are not perhaps on, or likely to be on the National Gas Grid. This negates the need to consider the more costly options of electricity or oil and removes the need to negotiate the enormous expense and disruption of extending the National Gas Grid. Whatever the location. Air conditioning heat pumps verses conventional boilers: With
conventional electric heating systems, 1kW of input energy provides less
than 1kW of output energy or heat. With air source heating every 1kW of
input energy is converted into an average of 3.6kW of output energy or
heat, making it more than three times as efficient as conventional
boilers and a natural choice for low cost heating and hot water. The
Co-efficient of Performance (COP) of a air conditioning <

power delivered, divided by the power consumed. Modern air conditioning
heating technology used in this example has the seasonal COP rating of
3.6. By 2016, over 720,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum could be
saved if all the 200,000 residential properties built <
