We are the manufacturer of Air Source Heat Pump.
At one of the location, a multistory, vertical building, the client would like to put up heat pump in the boiler room, in the basement, 3 floors from down.
Being 3 fl0ors down, there is not much fresh air ventilation available. however, being the boiler room, inside temperature is always 40 deg. C plus.
The air flow required is 16000 CFM at 20 deg. C.
My planning is to suck the air (whatever is available) from surrounding and the exhaust, cool air to be vented out with the help of duct.
My queries:
In air source heat pump, is it free flowing air that matters or forced air with higher temperature matters?
With these conditions, whether heat pump performance will get affected and how much?
Your suggestions and guidance is highly appreciable
