The company is moving quickly to secure an early lead in the apartment heat pump market, in line with the government’s carbon neutrality policy for the building sector.

Samsung Electronics said on the 27th that it will conduct an apartment-complex demonstration of the high-efficiency heat pump heating and cooling system, EHS All-in-One, starting this month at Samsung C&T Corporation’s Residential Performance Research Institute in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do.The company plans to comprehensively verify heating and cooling performance, hot water supply performance, energy efficiency, and ease of use in a space that replicates the exact environment of a real apartment.The demonstration will focus on heating performance and energy savings compared with existing gas boilers, as well as cooling and hot water performance, power consumption, and noise levels. The data collected during the process will serve as basic material for expanding the use of heat pumps in apartment complexes.The demonstration will use the EHS All-in-One, which is currently sold in the European market.The product is an integrated system that uses a single outdoor unit to provide air-to-air cooling ( A2A ) and water-based floor heating and hot water supply ( A2W ) at the same time.Unlike domestic residential heat pumps, which mainly provide floor heating and hot water and require a separate air conditioner for cooling, it can handle cooling, heating, and hot water supply with a single system.

It also offers higher energy efficiency.

By applying heat recovery technology that reuses waste heat generated during cooling for hot water production, the system is designed to improve energy utilization and reduce power consumption when cooling and hot water are used simultaneously in summer.According to Samsung Electronics, the heat recovery function can enable the use of more than twice as much thermal energy as conventional methods.Its environmental performance has also been strengthened.Instead of the R-410A refrigerant widely used in conventional cooling devices, the system uses R32 refrigerant, which has a global warming potential (GWP) about 68% lower, increasing its carbon reduction effect.As carbon neutrality in the building sector has recently emerged as a global challenge, the adoption of high-efficiency heat pumps that replace fossil fuels is expanding in the heating sector as well.

In South Korea, the government is also reviewing ways to expand distribution not only to single-family homes but also to apartment complexes, making demonstrations to secure performance and operating data in real residential environments increasingly important.
