在大多数人印象里，热泵就像冬天的专属暖炉，天一热就成了闲置品。但现在，一种能在寒潮天送温 暖、高温天送清凉的"全能型"热泵已经出现，彻底打破了这一传统认知。更令人惊喜的是，现在购买这 款产品还能享受20%国补，一机两用超划算。 来自天津北辰区的付女士分享到，以前用老机器，一个冬天也得花三四千块钱，现在新房子安装的海尔 空气源热泵，采暖、制冷都挺方便的，还省电。特别是在今年夏天高温天，付女士还用它来制冷，一进 门就很凉爽，温度波动不超过0.5℃，很舒服。 很多人好奇，热泵也能制冷的话，那和空调有什么区别呢？其实，这项技术在市场上很常见，目前大多 用在别墅、自建房的设计中，不用单独买两套系统，一机两用同时满足。 它的工作原理和家用中央空调类似，都靠一个叫"四通阀"的装置来切换制冷或制热模式。但不同的是， 热泵是水系统循环，相比氟系统出风更柔、温度波动更小，不会忽冷忽热。但也受制于这个原理，热泵 在制冷制热速度上会比空调稍慢一些，更适合有长时间开机需求的人群，主要优势还是集中在冬天制热 效果上。 现在北方"煤改电"用户中，就有很多用户选择海尔云暖MAX空调地暖二合一的这套方案。在夏季，通 过空调风盘送风，凉而不冷； ...
