Winter is coming, temperatures in most parts of northern China have become 'negative', every day from the cold wind back home, if a hot shower, and then quietly to be a sweet dream, presumably even cold The happiest thing.When this time, the hot water becomes precious, has become a scarce resource, and the home water heater also won the 'most lovely appliances' award, but absolutely must not be missed.
Day cold, shoulder the great mission of the water heater, stood in the spotlight, not only people are concerned, even the appliance industry, business and sales platform also will have their eyes on it .In November 17, in the country in Beijing Dazhong Tiandu held the ninth issue of 'Talking' series of conferences, the theme of the lock as 'speed warm and enjoy the shower', focusing on the water heater industry, AO Smith, Haier, the United States, Lin, energy rate, MACRO, million and other brand guests all the presence, And Gome together analysis of water heater industry 'pain points' and future trends.
What principle
February 14, 2017 On-line 'Midean' series conference is a platform for the information convergence of the home appliance industry created by Gome. It mainly provides scientific and technological information for industry and consumers through such interactions as celebrities, experts and entrepreneurs, and at the same time, it also sends GOME The latest development trend.
As the current conference protagonist's water heater, the principle is not complicated at present the most common market is gas water heaters, electric water heaters and solar water heaters three.
The principle of solar water heaters is the sun's light energy into heat, this way of working environment-friendly green, but now most of the commercial district are not allowed to use solar energy, so consumers and manufacturers are the focus of attention, naturally concentrated in the electric water heater And gas water heater on it.
The principle of electric water heaters is to heat water through resistance heating stored in metal cans, through a layer of plastic foam and other special materials to achieve insulation. Gas water heater is directly through the gas combustion, water heat and direct output by the pipeline, do not need large Equipment storage.
Who is more suitable
Then the question came, what kind of water heater consumers choose more suitable for their own needs? Then have to say from all aspects.
The most intuitive feeling, gas water heaters can make hot water that is 'to open', but also to maintain a constant temperature, do not worry about hot water is not enough, but if the water is turned off during use, cold water pipes will be waiting for emptying, which There is no hot water for a short period of time, and the electric water heater needs to wait for a period of time before the water is used. Due to the limited capacity of the water storage tank, the hot water is limited in continuous use, but the water can be shut off at any time without using cold water Hot embarrassing embarrassment.
Gas water heaters are mainly 5 liters, 7 liters, 8 liters, 10 liters and other specifications, this figure refers to the water temperature within 1 minute when the water produced by 25 ℃ when the amount of hot water. Electric water heaters are generally marked with 30-90 liters Or more, this figure refers to the electric water heater's water capacity. Take an 8-liter gas water heater compared with a 60-liter electric water heater, 8-liter gas water heater can continuously produce 8 liters of hot water per minute, water The amount is not limited.While the water stored in the electric water heater needs some time to heat up, 60 liters of specifications generally enough for 2-3 people bathing in the winter, if the bath time to master is not good, a can of water run out not washed Well, then wait half an hour to continue washing.
Gas water heaters are generally more powerful than electric water heaters.While still use 8 liters of gas water heaters and 60 liters of electric water heaters compared to 60 liters of electric water heaters are generally not more than 3 kilowatts and 8 liters of gas water heaters power is 16 to 17 KW, equivalent to 5 to 6 times the electric water heater.
Gas water heater gas quality is good, can generally be used for more than 6 years; electric water heaters due to fouling, good water quality can be used in 4-5 years, regular cleaning of the liner, replace the magnesium rod (magnesium rod from the neutral Role) can effectively extend the service life of electric water heater.
Still 8 liters of gas water heaters and 60 liters of electric water heaters to compare the price of gas water heaters are generally about 2,000 yuan or more, the price of electric water heaters at around 1,500 yuan.
In view of the above, the price of the electric water heater is low, but it needs to be heated in advance and the later use cost is high. The gas water heater is small in size, ready to use and low in use cost, but there seems to be a problem of intermittent water and hot water. In the end how to choose?
In fact, hard to assert that who better than who seems to be indeed difficult to do, from the People's Network "white paper" series of household electrical appliances can also see this point: Electricity and heat the two water heaters in 2016 consumer usage Accounting for about 40%, the sum of the two accounted for the vast majority of consumers of water heaters.
Smart future
In the most trusted water heater brand survey of consumers, the traditional water heater strong enterprise Haier, the United States, AO Smith still maintain a strong position, firmly grasp the water heater market, the first echelon position, followed by million and MACRO formed the second echelon, the rest of the brand The rest of the market is divided up.Overall, consumers are still on the big brands and traditional water heater manufacturers have a strong sense of trust.
Although consumers prefer traditional businesses, but with the ever-changing intelligent life today, the traditional business has long been unable to stand still, how to develop water heater, change, so that we can wash the bath more comfortable?
In recent years, water heater on the basis of safety and further to the comfortable and convenient direction, from the product appearance, mode of operation, temperature control and heating time preheating, etc. have greater technological progress.
The future of the water heater will look like, we may wish to brain wide open.
Can understand the owner's words, without wet body operation is obviously only the first step; can be independent and accurate grasp of the user needs, the most suitable temperature and water for the family to provide continuous warm, clean hot water is its Of course, if we can also take into account the tasks of household water purification, heating and other tasks, so that a multi-purpose machine, it can really save time and effort.
