There’re common points of heat pumps and fan coils before we’re comparing a fan coil with heat pump.Unlike a traditional boiler or furnace, fan coil units and heat pump systems are both capable of heating and cooling your home. They both can also maintain the humidity levels inside your home. They also can work together, with your furnace and air conditioner, or separately. Fan Coils As indicated by its name, the main components of a fan coil system are a fan, and heating and/or cooling coils. The fan draws air into the system through an air filter, either from the outside, or recirculated from the inside, or a combination of the two. The heating and cooling coils in a fan coil system are placed either just before the air enters the fan or just after it is blown away from the fan. The cooling coil is used in summer to air-condition the air inside your home, and the heating coils are used to heat the house in winter.
Benefits of Fan Coils The filtered air, coupled with increased air circulation can reduce the buildup of mold, viruses, bacteria and other pollutants in the air for better indoor air quality. By complementing your heat pump, furnace and/or air conditioner, fan coils can help lower down the energy consumption.
Thermostat for Fan Coil Typically, the thermostats are divided to 2 major versions 2 pipes or 4 pipesfan coil thermostat. The 2 pipes fan coil normally use same water pipe for water flow and do heating&cooling based on the season. While the 4 pipes one can run both hot water and cool water in the pipes. The thermostat fan motors allows on off type control or modulate 0-10v control.It also supports multiple connection interface like a KNX Fan Coil ,Thermostat, Bacnet Fan Coil Thermostat, Modbus Fan Coil Thermostat. It allows change-over sensor connection to do automatic switch over of winter heating and summer cooling.
Heat Pumps In basic terms, heat pumps remove heat energy from your home in summer and bring heat energy into your home in winter. The two basic types of heat pumps are air-source heat pumps and ground-source heat pumps. Air-source heat pumps are the most popular choice for residential heating and cooling. They transfer heat between the air inside your home and the air outside your home. Ground-source heat pumps, or geothermal heat pumps, transfer heat between the interior air of your home and the ground outside your home.
Benefits of Heat Pumps The heat pump system can manage proper humidity levels inside your home, in winter and summer, is one of the best ways to improve home comfort. Heat pumps don’t actually produce heat or cool the air. That reduces the energy needed to heat or cool your home.
Thermostat for Heat Pump According to the E-Top thermostat catalog, the basic heat pump thermostat could be divided to Heat Pump Thermostat for US market, Heat Pump Thermostat for Europe.
The American style heat pump includes the standard 24V power connect (R/RC/C) , and the compressor connect ( Y, W,OB) , fan connect (G). We could offer maximum two stages heating&cooling or 3 stages heating+1 stage cooling as per the requirement. Worth to mention, we have also included the wireless sensor connection ability by Radio 868Mhz for temperature sensing and cooling. The customers are able to get E-Top's standard 2 stages heat pump thermostat for the new installation or old installation replacement. For ODM customers, we also welcome for the customization of user graphic and software algorithm such as OTA, cloud to cloud integration.
The Europe sytle heat pump thermostat includes a typical fan coil speed controller e.g. 3 speeds or 0-10V fan coil motor control and a floor heating valve control. Depending on the installation, we're able to offer the directly replaced boiler thermostat with cooling&heating funciton. Or a 2 stages heating : floor heating + fan coil heating controls.
