To calculate consumption, we follow the following procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Required thermal power (in kW)<\/strong>: It is the amount of heat required to heat or cool the space. This value depends on the volume of the space, its insulation, the temperature we want to maintain, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Coefficient of Performance (COP)<\/strong>: COP shows how much heat is produced for each unit of electricity consumed. For example, if the COP is 4, it means that for every 1 kWh of electricity the heat pump consumes, 4 kWh of thermal energy will be produced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Consumption Calculation<\/strong>: Energy consumption per hour is calculated as follows:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nExample:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Let's assume that the heat pump has a thermal power<\/strong> 6 kW and one COP<\/strong> 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The energy consumption per hour will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/17.keasa.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-4.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis means that the heat pump will consume 1.5 kWh<\/strong> of electricity per hour to produce 6 kW of thermal power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important points:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- THE COP<\/strong> may vary depending on outdoor temperatures and pump operating conditions. At colder outdoor temperatures, the COP usually decreases, which increases energy consumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- THE thermal power<\/strong> depends on the needs of the space (e.g., room size, indoor temperature, insulation, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
