With the dual-function feature of "providing heating in winter and cooling in summer", heating cooling heat pumps break the limitations of traditional single-function temperature control equipment. They have become a preferred low-carbon temperature control option for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Using air and water sources as energy inputs, their COP (Coefficient of Performance) can reach 3.5-5.2, saving 40%-60% more energy than the traditional "air conditioner + boiler" combination. In 2024, the domestic market size of such heat pumps increased by 38% year-on-year, gradually making them a "key force in carbon reduction" in the temperature control field.
In centralized residential heating/cooling, air-source heating cooling heat pumps have strong adaptability. They do not require gas pipelines and only need electricity to operate. After a northern residential community adopted this system, the indoor temperature remained stable at 22±1℃ in winter, and the average annual electricity cost per household was 1,200 yuan lower than that of gas-fired wall-hung boiler heating. In summer, the COP for cooling reached 4.3, saving 32% more energy than ordinary air conditioners. Some models are equipped with dual outputs of underfloor heating and fan coils to meet the needs of different housing types. The resident satisfaction rate reached 91%, making these heat pumps a standard temperature control configuration for new residential buildings.
Commercial venues such as hotels and shopping malls have high demand for temperature control, and heating cooling heat pumps can realize centralized management and control. A four-star hotel adopted water-source heating cooling heat pumps to provide constant temperature services for 1,200 guest rooms. At the same time, it recovered waste heat from cooling to supply hot water, saving 860,000 yuan in annual energy costs and reducing carbon emissions by 520 tons. The modular design of these heat pumps supports capacity expansion on demand—shopping malls can add units to cope with high loads during peak seasons, and the operation and maintenance costs are 28% lower than those of traditional systems.
In industrial scenarios, heating cooling heat pumps can recover waste heat from production for energy reuse. A food processing plant introduced waste heat from 35℃ wastewater in the production line into the heat pump system: in winter, it uses the heat to warm the workshop (with outlet water temperature at 45℃); in summer, it uses the system to cool equipment. This practice reduced natural gas consumption by 120,000 cubic meters annually and saved 720,000 yuan in costs. A chemical plant used the heat pump to recover waste heat from boiler flue gas, increasing the overall energy utilization rate by 15%, which meets the industrial demand for "cost reduction and carbon reduction".
Agricultural greenhouses rely on precision temperature control, and heating cooling heat pumps can stabilize the internal environment of the greenhouses. An air-source heating cooling heat pump was adopted in a vegetable greenhouse: it maintained the greenhouse temperature at 18-22℃ in winter and reduced it to 25-28℃ in summer. As a result, the vegetable growth cycle was shortened by 10 days, and the annual output increased by 18%. The low-temperature-adaptable models (which can start at -25℃) can cover cold northern regions, solving the pollution problem of traditional coal-fired heating and supporting the development of green agriculture.
| Application Scenarios | Core Functions | Energy Saving Rate/Benefits | Typical Case Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential Sector | Winter heating + Summer cooling | 40% energy saving; 1, 200 yuan saved per household annually | Stable indoor temperature (22±1℃) in a northern community |
| Commercial Buildings | Centralized temperature control + Waste heat for hot water | 860, 000 yuan saved annually; 520 tons of carbon reduced | Constant temperature supply for 1, 200 hotel rooms |
| Industrial Sector | Waste heat recovery + Workshop temperature control | 15% higher energy utilization rate | 720, 000 yuan saved in annual natural gas costs for a food factory |
| Agricultural Sector | Greenhouse constant temperature regulation | 18% higher output; 10-day shorter growth cycle | Constant temperature maintained in a vegetable greenhouse in winter and summer |
Currently, heating cooling heat pumps are upgrading toward "low-temperature high-efficiency and intelligent integration": new CO₂ transcritical heat pumps can still provide stable heating at -30℃, and intelligent control systems can connect with the Internet of Things (IoT) to realize load prediction, further reducing energy consumption. As a low-carbon temperature control equipment with full-scenario coverage, it not only provides solutions for cost reduction and carbon reduction in various sectors but also becomes an important force in promoting the achievement of the "dual carbon goals".
