On the 3000-meter-high plateau, Tibet Agricultural and Animal Husbandry University – the first comprehensive higher agricultural institution founded in the Tibetan plateau since the establishment of New China – is now enveloped in the warmth provided by technology. 176 AIROSD ultra-low temperature commercial air source heat pump units (DKFXFC-180VMII) operate continuously, providing stable heating for a campus area of 194,000 square meters, equivalent to 27 standard football fields. It signifies that heating must not only be "available" but also "effective" and "green," ideally delivered by efficient commercial heating heat pumps.
The Tibet Agricultural and Animal Husbandry University heating project stands as a benchmark example within this livelihood initiative, showcasing a large-scale commercial heat pump system.
This heating project covers 12 core sections of the campus, including teaching buildings, dormitories, and office buildings, accounting for approximately 67% of the university's total floor area. After multiple rounds of stringent selection, AIROSD, with its years of technical accumulation and project experience specifically focused on plateau heating for commercial heating heat pumps, was chosen for this crucial task impacting the well-being of teachers and students!
Compared to similar projects, this undertaking, with its single-site heating scale of 194,000 sqm, represents a milestone project in the history of clean heating for schools in Tibet!
It is well known that Tibet's unique natural conditions have earned it the title "Roof of the World." The high altitude, thin air, intense ultraviolet radiation, long and severely cold winters, and significant diurnal temperature variations pose significant challenges for achieving efficient and stable heating. Traditional commercial air source heat pump units often face five major "plateau reactions" here:
Low-Temperature Environment Challenge: Extremely low winter temperatures cause significant degradation in the heating efficiency of traditional commercial air source heat pump, increasing energy consumption and potentially preventing normal startup.
Equipment is prone to overheating, leading to faults or protective shutdowns, a critical issue for any commercial heat pump system.
High Demands for Defrosting Technology: Low temperatures promote frost formation, requiring precise defrosting technology to ensure continuous heating from commercial heating heat pumps.
Maintenance Challenges Due to Geography and Transportation: Tibet's vast territory and sparse population, coupled with difficult transportation, necessitate extremely robust and durable equipment, like specialized commercial air source heat pump units, to minimize reliance on after-sales service.
Therefore, achieving efficient, stable, and economical clean heating on the plateau is far from simply relocating equipment; it is a systematic engineering challenge that tests the limits of integrated capabilities encompassing core product technology, system design, installation craftsmanship, and after-sales service networks for a robust commercial heat pump system.
AIROSD's solution represents a systematic breakthrough precisely targeting these pain points.
Facing the extreme environment and massive heating demand, AIROSD formed a dedicated technical team for on-site surveys, tailoring a three-dimensional "Core Equipment + Modular Combination + Intelligent Control" solution to fundamentally solve plateau heating challenges. This integrated approach defines a modern commercial heat pump system.
AIROSD customized the installation of 176 ultra-low temperature commercial air source heat pump units (DKFXFC-180VMII), the "trump card" designed for severe cold regions, paired with radiator end units. For applications requiring year-round climate control, a versatile heating and cooling heat pump solution can also be provided.
Ultra-Low Temperature Powerful Heating: Utilizes efficient vapor injection compressors and environmentally friendly refrigerant, commercial heat pump system ensuring strong heating performance even at extreme lows of -40°C. The Coefficient of Performance (COP) is significantly higher than standard units, effectively addressing the low-temperature degradation problem. These robust commercial heating heat pumps are engineered for such demanding applications.
Patented Defrost Technology: AIROSD's unique intelligent quick-defrost technology uses multiple sensors (temperature, humidity, etc.) for accurate frost detection. It enables extremely fast defrosting, minimizing heat loss and ensuring stable indoor temperatures. Coupled with a patent-pending anti-refreeze technology, it effectively prevents water droplets from re-freezing and blocking the heat exchanger after defrosting, ensuring thorough and efficient operation of the commercial air source heat pump units.
SpecializedDesign for Plateau/Extreme Cold Environments: Addressing the issues of low heat exchange efficiency and difficult heat dissipation caused by low air pressure, AIROSD optimized the fan system and heat exchanger specifically for its commercial heating heat pumps. Special heat dissipation designs for components like motors prevent overheating protection under low pressure, ensuring stable operation of the entire commercial heat pump system.
Smart AI Control System: The entire commercial heat pump system is equipped with AIROSD's latest patented technology – an intelligent AI control system. Authorized personnel can remotely check the system status, adjust parameters, receive fault alarms, and manage energy efficiency via computer terminals or mobile apps, significantly enhancing operational convenience, efficiency, and reducing labor costs for the commercial heating heat pumps and associated commercial hot water heat pumps.
Its stable, reliable products, including commercial heating heat pumps and commercial hot water heat pumps, and quality service have earned an excellent reputation, making AIROSD a trusted partner for various Tibetan local governments and enterprises.
The successful operation of the 194,000 sqm clean heating project at Tibet Agricultural and Animal Husbandry University, powered by a sophisticated commercial heat pump system, creates more than just a record for "largest area." It represents a "new height" for clean energy application, livelihood welfare assurance, and ecological protection construction in Tibet. It demonstrates that large-scale, high-efficiency, intelligent clean heating via commercial air source heat pump technology is entirely feasible in Tibet and has already become a reality.
