Winter cold, people's sudden surge in demand for hot water, so the water heater has become standard in every household, the market mainstream water heaters are generally divided into electric water heaters and gas water heaters, and sometimes people for the selection and use of water heaters in the process there are a number of plausible problems, Today we have selected the three most representative questions for everyone to answer one by one.
Water heater selection
Electric water heaters and gas water heaters which is more cost-effective?
Gas water heater is burning while burning gas side of the heating rate is very fast, there will be a steady stream of hot water bath, but just when the water bath, you have to put some cold water gas water heater does not need regular maintenance, but be careful In some places it is gas-fired rather than natural gas, gas is likely to produce harmful carbon monoxide because of uneven combustion, so place the water heater in a well-ventilated place. The gas water heater is relatively small and easy to install, but the space occupied by the water heater is very Big.
From the purchase price point of view, usually ranging from electric water heaters 1000-2000 yuan, gas water heaters are generally between 1000-1500, but it also has additional installation costs, but also about 2000 yuan, the difference between the two prices is not very Large. The same is 200L of water, electric water heaters have to spend 4.8 yuan to burn well, and in accordance with the current water heater water storage, 200L water to burn at least twice. Gas is spent 3.6 yuan, more efficient, the cost is more Low
Compared with the advantages of both, it is suggested that less people in the household can install electric water heaters, more people are more practical gas. However, high-level or not yet natural gas, it is best to choose electric water heater, safer.
Does the 'L' on the gas water heater represent capacity?
Home gas water heater users is not difficult to find, in the water heater shell marked with the words 'L', but you really understand the meaning of this word? Recently the weather is getting cold, Q women think of a bath when the water heater The temperature was higher and she saw three knobs on the water heater: one for the season knob, one for the temperature knob, one for the liter knob, and she then turned the temperature knob toward hot and then turned the ascending number to the lowest. The number represents the water capacity of the water heater, the smaller the amount of water, the temperature should be higher.I did not expect a good water temperature is very low, the more washing the wash more cold.
This is why? The overwhelming majority of people think, 'L' this index refers to the water capacity of the water heater, in fact, not the case. 'Gas heater' l 'and electric water heaters, solar water heaters, air heaters are not the same , The latter three water heater marked 'liter' is our capacity to understand, that is, the water heater storage capacity, but the gas water heater 'liter' does not mean capacity, but refers to the flow of gas water heater itself is not much, hot water Nor in the internal storage market we see marked 8L / 12L / 16L / 24L and so refers to the temperature rise of 25 ℃, gas water heater per minute of water, such as: 12L gas water heater from the water temperature of 10 ℃ heating To 35 ℃, the temperature rise of 25 ℃, then it is the amount of water a minute 12L 'liter' refers to the maximum output of gas water heater per minute of hot water, on behalf of the heating capacity of gas water heaters. The greater the heating capacity.
Water heater water can drink?
Winter cold weather, many families like to turn on the faucet directly with hot water in the water heater, then inside the water can really use it? Since the water heater can also be boiled, then you can drink it Most people install the water heater is In order to take a bath convenient, very few people take the water in the water heater to drink, very few people think about this question.In fact, the electric water heater can burn up to 75 ℃. Theoretically, the fresh tap water only heats to 70 ℃ Above, the bacteria inside can be completely killed and ready to drink.
However, whether it is solar water heaters, or electric water heaters, there is a storage tank, with the use of water stored inside, over time will breed bacteria, so that previously boiled water is contaminated, so this water can not drink Because now household electric water heaters are sealed, so the water can be used to take a shower, while the facial skin is relatively sensitive and vulnerable, so wash vegetable cooking is best to use fresh living water, to avoid bacterial entry or residue. However, if the water heater does not clean up for a long time, even if it is used to take a shower, it will hurt the skin. Because the water heater will accumulate scale, the slime, microorganisms and bacteria in the water heater will be constantly updated over a long period of time, resulting in many harmful substances May cause a variety of skin diseases, some women and children sometimes feel skin pruritus or red spots after bathing.To ensure the safety of bathing water, it is recommended to use the water heater for about a year or so should be promptly cleaned.
