AB - This paper presents a novel air-source multi-functional heat pump (AMHP) for  commercial buildings. The AMHP integrates refrigeration, space heating,  water heating, and heat recovery functions into a single device, offering a  comprehensive solution for commercial building heating and cooling needs.  The objective is twofold: to enhance energy efficiency and to reduce  environmental impact. A series of experiments were conducted to assess its  performance across a range of operating modes and ambient conditions. The  findings indicate that the AMHP can function reliably over an extended  period, thereby achieving substantial energy savings. This research  provides a pragmatic and energy-efficient solution for a range of  applications in commercial buildings. Further system design optimization is  proposed for subsequent studies.
