What are the water quality requirements?

Water quality is a critical factor influencing the performance, efficiency, reliability, and service life of Aurashu’s Integrated Low-Temperature Heating Modular Units. Because these systems rely on stable heat exchange between the refrigerant circuit and the water-side loop (for heating, cooling, or domestic hot water), maintaining proper water quality ensures consistent operation, reduced maintenance, and long-term durability. Poor water conditions—including scaling, corrosion, sediment buildup, and microbiological growth—can significantly impair the unit’s thermal performance and increase energy consumption.1. Importance of Water Quality in Aurashu Modular UnitsAurashu’s modular units use high-performance plate heat exchangers or brazed plate exchangers with narrow channels. While these designs maximize heat transfer efficiency, they are sensitive to water contaminants. Even a small amount of scale or rust can reduce heat transfer, lower system efficiency, increase operating pressure, and cause compressor overload.Maintaining correct water quality ensures:Higher heat transfer efficiencyStable outlet temperatures and reliable comfort performanceReduced compressor and pump energy consumptionExtended equipment lifespan (10–15+ years)Lower maintenance frequency and downtime2. Key Water Quality Requirements(1) Hardness & Scaling ControlHard water causes mineral deposition (primarily calcium and magnesium) inside heat exchangers—one of the biggest causes of capacity loss.Aurashu recommends:Total hardness ≤ 100 mg/LUse softened water or anti-scaling treatmentPeriodic descaling for high-hardness regionsScaling of even 1 mm can reduce heat transfer by 10–15%, significantly raising operating costs.(2) Corrosion PreventionCorrosion causes metal deterioration, leaks, and exchanger damage.To minimize corrosion:Maintain pH between 7.0 and 9.0 (depending on system materials)Control chloride and sulfate ions within standardsAdd corrosion inhibitors when neededUse stainless-steel-friendly water treatment for plate heat exchangersStainless steel, copper, and brazed plates require balanced chemistry to avoid pitting corrosion.(3) Suspended Solids & Sediment ControlSediment, rust particles, and sand can block heat exchanger channels.Aurashu recommends:Suspended solids ≤ 20 mg/LInstall Y-strainers or mesh filters on the return lineUse automatic or magnetic filters for industrial loopsRegular flushing is recommended for older building pipelines.(4) Microbiological ControlBacteria, algae, and slime lead to biological fouling, which reduces heat transfer and may cause odor or corrosion.Use biocides if microbiological contamination is detectedEnsure circulation loops are closed to minimize biological growth(5) Anti-freezing Protection (Cold-Climate Operation)In extremely low outdoor temperatures, some systems require antifreeze (glycol mixture) to avoid freezing inside the water loop.Aurashu recommends:Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol solutions (10–35%)Avoid excessive glycol concentration to prevent viscosity-related performance loss3. Recommended Water Treatment SystemTo ensure long-term system stability, Aurashu advises using:Softening or anti-scaling devices (for hard water areas)Closed-loop water treatment with corrosion/scale inhibitorsMulti-stage filtration (mesh filter + Y-filter + magnetic dirt separator)Automatic dosing system (for inhibitors or biocides)Periodic water-quality testing (every 6–12 months)4. Consequences of Poor Water QualityIgnoring water quality requirements may lead to:Reduced heating/cooling capacityHigher energy costs (5–25% increase)Compressor overload alarmsHeat exchanger blockageCorrosion and leakageShortened equipment lifeIn severe cases, exchanger replacement may be required—expensive and avoidable.5.

In snowy, humid, or extremely cold regions, the optimized frosting–defrosting design ensures stable outdoor operation without special structural requirements.Overall, Aurashu’s modular units offer fast installation, flexible expansion, safer construction, lower labor costs, and simplified commissioning—making them a highly efficient choice for commercial buildings, residential communities, industrial heating, and district energy projects.

Does the system support modular installation?

Yes, Aurashu’s Integrated Low-Temperature Heating Modular Unit fully supports modular installation, and this design is one of the core advantages of the system. Modular architecture significantly improves flexibility, scalability, construction convenience, and long-term operational reliability. By integrating advanced EVI low-temperature compressors, high-efficiency heat exchangers, unified intelligent control, and standardized hydraulic/piping interfaces, the system enables fast deployment, phased investment, and precise capacity matching for projects of various sizes.From an engineering perspective, modular installation means each unit functions as an independent heating and cooling module, capable of operating alone or in synchronized coordination with multiple units. For small applications, a single module can meet basic heating or cooling demand. For medium and large commercial projects, multiple modules can be combined—typically 2–16 units—to form a centralized, high-capacity system without requiring a large mechanical room or complicated construction.Aurashu applies a “plug-and-run” modular strategy: factory-tested modules are pre-configured with optimized refrigerant circuits, electronic expansion valves, and control parameters. Once delivered onsite, installers only need to connect water pipes, power supply, and communication cables. This approach dramatically shortens installation time, lowers labor cost, and minimizes commissioning errors.Modular design also solves a major challenge in cold-climate heat pump operation—capacity decay and load fluctuation. With multi-module intelligent scheduling, the controller automatically adjusts each module’s output based on real-time building load. When heating demand is low, only one or two modules run at partial load to ensure efficiency; when demand peaks, all modules start in sequence to deliver full capacity. The built-in balancing algorithm distributes operating hours evenly among modules, reducing mechanical wear and extending service life.In addition, modular installation enhances redundancy and operational stability. If one module requires maintenance, the remaining modules continue operating without interrupting heating or cooling supply. This N+1 backup capability is important for hospitals, data centers, hotels, schools, and industrial facilities where continuous operation is essential.Aurashu further improves modular compatibility by adopting unified unit dimensions, standardized anchor points, and matching water-side connections. Modules can be installed side-by-side or stacked (depending on model), enabling flexible adaptation to rooftop, outdoor yard, or equipment platform layouts. For decentralized heating or renovation projects, modules can be delivered and installed in phases, allowing customers to expand capacity with minimal additional construction cost.With support for centralized BMS integration, RS485 communication, remote diagnostics, and cloud monitoring, multiple modules behave like a single, intelligent system. Operators can view system status, module load rates, energy consumption, and operational data in real time, ensuring efficient management.Overall, Aurashu’s modular installation solution provides unmatched flexibility, easy expansion, stable performance, and superior lifecycle cost advantages, making it ideal for residential communities, commercial complexes, industrial plants, schools, hotels, and cold-climate district heating networks.
