Heat pumps are mainly classified into three categories according to heat source types<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Pompa di calore a sorgente d'aria<\/strong><\/span>: Uses air as the heat source, featuring convenient installation and wide applicability. Commonly used in household air conditioners and air-source water heaters; low-temperature models can operate stably in cold regions.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Water Source Heat Pump<\/strong>:<\/span> Utilizes heat from groundwater, surface water or wastewater with higher energy efficiency. Limited by water resource conditions, it is mostly used for central heating and cooling in large buildings.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Ground Source Heat Pump<\/strong><\/span>: Relies on shallow geothermal heat in the soil, offering stable operation and outstanding energy-saving effects. It has relatively high upfront well-drilling construction costs and is suitable for projects such as villas and residential communities<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Heat pumps are mainly classified into five categories according to Application<\/span><\/h3>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    • Heating Heat Pumps<\/span>:\u00a0 Their core function is winter heating, serving as an alternative to traditional boilers and radiators. Suitable for residences, shopping malls, factories and other scenarios.<\/li>\n
    • Domestic Hot Water Heat Pumps<\/span>: Designed specifically for producing domestic hot water, they are widely used in households, hotels, schools, swimming pools and other places.<\/li>\n
    • Drying Heat Pumps<\/span>:\u00a0 A type of industrial\/commercial dedicated heat pump, they use high-temperature hot air for material drying, commonly applied to agricultural products, traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, timber, food, seafood and industrial products.<\/li>\n
    • Heat Pumps for Both Cooling and Heating:<\/span> These integrate cooling and heating functions, providing cooling in summer and heating in winter; some models also support hot water production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Special-Purpose Heat Pumps<\/span>:\u00a0 This category includes swimming pool constant-temperature heat pumps, high-temperature steam heat pumps, cold bath heat pumps, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Heat pumps are mainly classified into three categories according to\u00a0 Core Technology<\/span><\/h3>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        • Low-Temperature Jet Enthalpy-Increasing Heat Pump<\/span>:\u00a0 Adopting jet enthalpy-increasing compressor technology, it improves heating capacity and energy efficiency in low-temperature environments through secondary air replenishment.<\/li>\n
        • High-Temperature Steam Heat Pump<\/span>:\u00a0 It can produce high-temperature hot water and even low-pressure steam, with outlet water temperature above 80\u2103.\u00a0 Kolant’s heat pump can provide\u00a0\u00a0 80\u2103~120\u2103 outlet water<\/li>\n
        • Ultra-Low Temperature Heat Pump<\/span>:\u00a0 Specially designed for extremely cold environments, it can operate stably for heating at temperatures as low as -25\u2103 to -35\u2103. Kolant’s heat pump can work at Ambient Temperature \u00a0-35\u2103.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
