Air Source Heat Pumps: The Trend and First Choice for Greenhouse Farming and Heating

Air source heat pump heating shows advantages in the field of greenhouse planting, replacing traditional heating methods such as multi-layer film insulation and coal-fired heating. Its environmental protection, energy saving, high efficiency, suitable for greenhouse planting base, realize intelligent control, save labor costs, flowers grow well.

 

With the advancement of science and technology, air source heat pump heating has begun to show its incomparable innate advantages in a variety of fields, among which air energy heat pump heating for greenhouses has been widely used.

 

As we all know, in winter, in order to ensure the appropriate temperature in the greenhouse, heating equipment is essential. However, the traditional greenhouse insulation heating methods, such as multi-layer film insulation, electric light heating, coal-fired heating, hot air furnace heating, etc., although it can achieve certain results, but inconvenient management, unstable heating effect, high pollution, high energy consumption and other problems have been plagued by growers. These methods not only do not meet the social demand for environmental protection and energy saving, but also face the risk of being outlawed by the state, and are not economically efficient for farmers.

 

In order to cope with these problems, a variety of clean heating methods have emerged on the market. Among them, although natural gas is clean and environmentally friendly, greenhouse planting bases are usually located in suburban areas, the lack of gas pipelines, making it difficult to implement this approach. And direct electricity is convenient, but the high operating costs discourage investors. There is also solar energy, although energy-saving, but too dependent on the weather, it is difficult to ensure stable heating effect.

 

 

In contrast, air source heat pumps have become the most suitable heating method for greenhouse cultivation. Although the initial investment cost is slightly higher, in the long run, its advantages are obvious.

 

First of all, air source heat pumps do not emit harmful gases and do not have any impact on the environment, which is in full compliance with environmental requirements.

 

Secondly, air energy heat pumps require only a small amount of electricity to drive, mainly absorbing heat from the air to heat, consuming only about one-third of the electricity consumed by electric heating. Therefore, although the cost of air energy heat pumps is higher than that of electric heating, investors are very favorable to them because of their low operating costs.
