The difference between air conditioning heating and electric heat is that the heating element is different, the heat transfer method is different, the temperature control method is different, and the safety is different.
1, different heating elements
Air conditioning heating is through the heat pump to heat the air. Heat pumps use the principle of the refrigeration cycle, through the absorption of outdoor heat, transfer it to the interior, to achieve heating. Electric auxiliary heat, on the other hand, heats the air by converting electrical energy into heat.
2, the heat transfer method is different
Air conditioning heating uses Freon as a medium to transfer heat. It absorbs outdoor heat through the outdoor unit and then transfers the heat to the indoor unit, thus heating the indoor air. Electric auxiliary heat, on the other hand, is similar to an electric heater with an internal resistance wire that is energized to convert electrical energy into heat energy, which is then transferred to the indoor air.
3, the temperature control method is different
Air conditioning heating through the control of the outdoor unit of the condenser to absorb outdoor heat, Freon into a high temperature and high pressure gas, and then through the indoor unit to release the heat and liquefy the Freon, so as to achieve indoor heating. Electric auxiliary heat, on the other hand, converts electrical energy into heat energy through electric heating wire, thus heating the indoor air.
4, different security
Air conditioning heating is relatively safe, only the outdoor unit there is the risk of aging Freon leakage. While the electric auxiliary heat heating there are certain security risks, because the electric heating wire may be high temperature melting parts or cause combustion accidents.
When using air-conditioning heating, there are some precautions to note:
1, avoid prolonged continuous operation: Although air-conditioning heating can provide a comfortable temperature, prolonged continuous operation may lead to energy waste and overheating of the equipment. Appropriate intervals are recommended to allow the air conditioner to rest for a period of time to protect the equipment and save energy.
2. Timing on/off: According to the actual need, you can set the function of timing on/off. This can automatically turn on the air conditioner to produce heat during the time period when heating is needed, saving energy and providing a comfortable temperature.
3, indoor ventilation: Try to keep the room well ventilated. You can open the windows at the right time to eliminate humidity and odor in the room and provide a more comfortable environment.
4, regular cleaning and maintenance: Regular cleaning of air conditioner filters and radiators of indoor and outdoor units is necessary. Accumulated dust and impurities will affect the heating effect of the air conditioner and may lead to air conditioning failure. At the same time, regular maintenance and maintenance of air conditioning equipment, such as cleaning the condenser, checking the refrigerant, etc., can extend the service life of the air conditioner.
