On April 21st, the White Paper on the Development of Gas Water Heater Replacement and Upgrade Industry was launched at the grand opening of the 1st Hall of the Nanjing International Expo Center: China National Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute, a state-level authoritative technical service organization, Suning Tesco, a home appliance giant, and Yikang, an authoritative research institution. Industry leader AO Smith attended the ceremony to jointly promote the upgrading of the gas water heater industry, helping consumers to properly purchase gas water heaters.
"Gas Water Heater Replacement Upgrade Industry Development White Paper" grand first
Safety upgrades: High-level monitoring Professional and effective
'Gas products will produce excessive carbon monoxide when they are not fully burned. When they are accumulated to a certain concentration, they will cause irreversible damage to the human body.' Ge Fengliang, deputy dean of the China Household Electrical Appliances Institute, said, 'How to prevent excess carbon monoxide in the kitchen space? The threat of the human body, allowing consumers to be assured of 'safety' has always been one of the issues that gas products are constantly exploring and are expected to solve.

There are many solutions to this problem on the market, but most of them are unscientific: carbon monoxide has a smaller density than air, is easy to float, and has a carbon monoxide alarm module on the bottom or side, which cannot sensitively detect carbon monoxide leakage; another type of 'carbon monoxide catalytic coating', Technically, it is faced with the risk of catalyst failure. The so-called 'carbon monoxide prevention technology exceeded' is the concept of hype. The essence is the basic 'running machine technology'.
'Only equipped with 'high monitoring' carbon monoxide alarm linkage module of carbon monoxide poisoning gas water heater, can be called a new generation of safer gas water heaters.' China Electric Appliances Evaluation Center Minister Song Liqiang said.

Durable generation upgrade: Reject water corrosion Durable strength upgrade
Many gas water heaters in the market use copper as the main material of the heat exchanger, but the corrosion resistance is not ideal: The condensate water containing acidic substances and the corrosive substances in the water pipe attack the copper heat exchanger inside and outside. It takes a long time to easily cause gas. Water heater damaged.
Commercial grade stainless steel heat exchangers strongly resist corrosion
'Only thick copper material can only delay the corrosion rate of the heat exchanger, and it can only be a temporary solution. Only by replacing the material of the heat exchanger with a truly corrosion-resistant metal, can the gas water heater heat exchanger be easily solved from its roots. Corrosion problem.' Song Liqiang, head of the China home appliance evaluation center said.
Currently, the problem of heat exchanger corrosion can be solved by using a commercial grade stainless steel material to produce a heat exchanger. 'The stainless steel heat exchanger is very difficult to manufacture, and its internal structure and welding process are very demanding. But it does not mean that There is no brand for the heat exchanger. 'Ge Fengliang, deputy director of the China Household Electrical Appliances Institute, said, 'This time we have a detailed introduction in the 'White Paper'. This kind of heat exchanger has really driven the gas water heater industry. Epoch-making revolution. '
The commercial-grade stainless steel heat exchanger mentioned in the “White Paper” is different from the copper heat exchanger: the internal structure made of stainless steel has no fear of water corrosion; the internal structure is redesigned, and the heat exchange efficiency can reach over 90%. To anti-corrosion anti-scale more durable.
Zero cold water replacement upgrade
'As the level of consumption continues to rise, everyone's requirements for gas water heaters no longer remain in the stage of being able to bathe. More users are required to enjoy the quality of bathing, and the problem that needs to be solved in the industry is the cold water segment.' Zuo Yanxi, general manager of the brand center of Yikang Times Market Research Co., Ltd. said.

At present, most of the zero-cold water products on the market need to be laid back water pipes. 'This is a very troublesome thing. Renovated users are often reluctant to install a zero-water-type gas water heater and then go home In this way, people who can enjoy a zero-cold-water bathing experience are greatly reduced.' said Song Liqiang, head of the China Center for Home Appliances Evaluation.

However, the problem of 'laying back the water pipes with zero-cold water' has already been solved. The AO Smith's zero-cold water gas water heater, described in the White Paper, has achieved a 'renovation and installation experience. Zero cold water : Patented single-tube cruising and heating system meets the water demand of various types of villas, large platforms, etc.; has a national invention patented constant pressure water return valve, from the source to solve the customer without installing the return pipe can also install experience 'zero cold water ' The quality of bathing.

At the same time, AO Smith's zero-water-fired gas water heaters are also equipped with the "white paper" mentioned in the high carbon monoxide monitoring alarm system, commercial-grade stainless steel heat exchanger; patent mute system, Ivory Easy wipe the six major core advantages of the panel , This product has also become a benchmark product leading the upgrade of the gas water heater industry. With the increase in consumer demand for bath quality, the access threshold for the gas water heater market is also increasing, 'gas water heater from the 'basic safety' Stepping into 'Performance Optimization' and then pursuing 'Extreme Experience' 'Unreplaceable' now. AO Smith is the leader in the industry and has been working hard to bring a perfect bathing experience to consumers. 'AO Smith China Qiu Bu, the district vice president and general manager of the gas business division said.

At the "White Paper" conference, AO Smith also used a variety of strength products to prove his commitment to research and development and resolve the industry's problems. In the future, he will also work with major brands to bring more enrichment to the market and consumers. High-end gas water heater products.
