There are many heating methods in winter. Hot water bags, ovens and heaters are the most common heating methods. Now the most popular heating methods are wall mounted boiler water heating and air conditioning heating. What are the differences between these two methods? Which method is more suitable for winter heating?

Analysis from energy

The energy of water heating comes from natural gas. The natural gas is burned through the wall mounted furnace, and then the heat is transferred to the heating circulating water. Finally, the heating circulating water is transported to the indoor heat dissipation end for heat dissipation. The indoor end is divided into floor heating and radiator. As a non renewable resource, natural gas will be less and less through exploitation, and the price will be higher and higher.

The energy of the air conditioner comes from electric energy. The work is done by the compressor of the external unit of the air conditioner, the outdoor environmental heat is absorbed into the room, and finally the heat is dissipated through the indoor unit of the air conditioner. As a renewable resource, there are many ways to obtain electric energy, such as hydropower, wind power, solar power, geothermal power, etc. with the progress of technology, the price will be lower and lower.

From the analysis of heating air flow

Floor heating and radiator are installed at the end of indoor heat dissipation. The installation position in the room is relatively low. The floor heating is installed below the ground, and the radiator is also installed close to the ground. The heat is transmitted from low to high, rising from about 30 degrees on the ground to about 20 degrees at 1.4 meters high, which is the same as the heat circulation mode of human body and consistent with the "warm foot and cool top" in traditional Chinese medicine, If you heat your feet first, you will feel cool on your head.

At the end of the indoor heat dissipation of the air conditioner is the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The installation position in the room is relatively high, more than 2m above the ground. The air outlet of the air conditioner will also transfer from high to low. The temperature of the hot air will be higher at 2m, and the hot air cannot reach the indoor ground. When people live in such a space, the first thing blown by the hot air of the air conditioner is the head, It is easy to cause dizziness and brain swelling, especially when the installation position of the air conditioner is unreasonable and blowing on the human body.

The air conditioner uses electric energy and can work when it is powered on, but there are certain requirements for the region. When the outdoor ambient temperature is too low, especially when the region is minus 20 degrees, the air conditioner will frequently defrost the external unit, which leads to that the air conditioner cannot send more heat to the room. When the outdoor temperature is lower, the air conditioner will stop working, Not to mention delivering heat indoors.

Therefore, plumbing and air conditioning have their own characteristics. However, in the competition of heating in winter, plumbing has greater advantages. The comfort of plumbing can not be compared with air conditioning, the silence of plumbing can not be compared with air conditioning, and the regional use conditions of plumbing can not be compared with air conditioning. With the popularization of plumbing, more families are more willing to use plumbing instead of air conditioning for winter heating, Of course, there are also air conditioners as the heat source of water heating. Air energy floor heating system is one of them. When used in places where the temperature is not particularly low in winter, it can take into account the advantages of air conditioning and water heating.
