With the continuous improvement of national infrastructure construction and market consumption upgrades, gas water heaters have achieved rapid growth in China in recent years. While market demand continues to be released, the supply of gas water heaters is also abundant. However, facing offline stores With the dazzling gas water heater brand and product model of the e-commerce platform, ordinary consumers are often overwhelmed when purchasing.
In the face of consumer confusion, at the end of June this year, China National Grid, the United States, the United States and the United States, the United States and the United States and other international brands, and the mainstream brands in the industry jointly launched the '2018 water heaters seeking travel', through product evaluation, Users experience and factory lines and other forms allow consumers to understand and experience the difference between high-quality gas water heaters, reduce information asymmetry between water heater manufacturers and consumers, and find in the 'seeking journey', find high quality Good products with good price, provide consumers with a valuable reference for purchasing high-quality gas water heaters. Since the launch of this event, it has received wide attention from consumers.
For consumers, the primary factor to be concerned about the purchase of gas water heaters is product quality, and the quality of gas water heaters depends to a large extent on the materials and properties used in the core components.
Professor of Mechanical and Energy Engineering, Tongji University, Doctoral Supervisor Wei Dunyi
In the view of Wei Dunyi, a professor and doctoral supervisor at Tongji University's School of Mechanical and Energy Engineering, one aspect of many product innovations is often the upgrading or replacement of materials. Heat exchangers are the core components of gas water heaters. For a long time, mainstream enterprises in the gas water heater industry. Oxygen-free copper is used as the material. This is because copper has the best combination of thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, mechanical stability, processability and inhibition of bacteria. It is difficult to replace and can ensure long-term and stable gas water heaters. Work safely.
Gao Junfeng, Senior Marketing Director, China and Southeast Asia, International Copper Association (China)
Gao Xiaofeng, senior director of the China Copper Association (China) and China Southeast Asia, also believes that mainstream gas water heater manufacturers insist on the use of pure copper materials in the main heat exchangers of their core components, reflecting the company's ultimate pursuit of product quality.
As a globally renowned gas water heater brand with a history of nearly 70 years, Energy has always been an advocate and a firm advocate of copper heat exchangers. It is able to adhere to the use of high quality phosphorus deoxidized copper as a heat exchanger material. The heat exchanger is more resistant to oxidation and the service life of the gas water heater is also longer.
'Energy rate not only fully grasps the various characteristics of pure copper materials, but also perfectly combines the excellent characteristics of pure copper with gas water heater products, plus its unique thermostatic control technology to give consumers a better product experience. ' Gao Gaofeng said.
In addition, senior interior designer, Xi Bin, founder of Beijing October Ideal Culture Media Co., Ltd. also gave advice from the professional perspective of the designer: When consumers choose domestic gas water heaters, they must first consider the overall adjustment of their houses. Sex and hue, it is necessary to consider whether to use a large shower, because the large shower means that the water demand is relatively large, then the water heater needs a large volume water heater. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to When the consumer's living room has special installation requirements and needs to be equipped with an outdoor machine, the wind and corrosion resistance requirements of the machine must be brought up.

'From these points, the energy rate water heater has always been a leader in the country, and can truly design products with the needs of consumers. ' Xi Bin gave high praise to the energy rate.
In the 25 years since entering the Chinese market, the company has continuously combined the leading technology of Japan's energy rate with the needs of Chinese consumers, and developed generations of high-quality, high-performance, durable, energy-saving and environmentally friendly gas water heater products, which are well received by the majority of Chinese consumers. Not only that, but the energy rate has also profoundly affected the technical development direction of China's gas water heater industry.
With consumers' expectations for constant temperature, comfort and intelligent use of gas water heaters, the energy rate is based on the advantages of its original thermostatic control technology, and it is also exploring the application of more intelligent technologies to meet consumer demand.
As a product that has accumulated decades of technology accumulation in the field of gas water heaters, the 'Future' series of gas water heaters, which was launched in September 2018, is a representative product of innovation in this area.
Energy Rate (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Development Department Commodity Development Division Gu Shunshun
According to Gu Shunshun, head of the Commodity Development Division of the Development Department of China Energy Investment Co., Ltd., the 'Future' series of gas water heaters adopts the promising PRO-TEC dual-fire control technology and 32-degree micro-flame combustion technology in Japan, the minimum heat load. It is only 2.7KW, which completely solves the problem that the ordinary water heater is too hot in summer. The 18-stage multi-stage water temperature can be used for different water environments, freely adjust the water temperature, and the water environment is more comfortable. At the same time, it can realize multiple points of shared hot water, so that the water temperature is not In terms of intelligence, the 'Future' series is equipped with a widescreen high-brightness touch screen, one-touch voice, one-touch energy-saving function, to provide consumers with a more comfortable, convenient, energy-saving water heater experience; Automatic cruise anti-freeze function, 48-degree high temperature lock, child lock protection, life reminder and other active safety systems provide comprehensive guarantee for user safety. In addition, 'Future' series water heaters are made of champagne gold-plastic steel shell, decorated with black crystal. The panel and the compact body of 500mm height make the technology and quality more integrated.
Shanghai Fengxian Energy Factory Copper Heat Exchanger Production Site
'Future' series gas water heater disassemble experiment
In August of this year, the water heater 'seeking trip' activity entered the factory in Fengxian, Shanghai, and recorded the production process and process of high-quality water heaters. During the event, the energy rate was also disassembled by the 'future' series of gas water heaters. Show consumers the connotation of a high quality water heater.
It is understood that China National Grid will cooperate with the International Copper Association and channel distributors to jointly label the good quality and good quality products that were found during the water heater 's journey of seeking water for the '臻' word, International Copper Association certification. The logo and the China National Grid Truth Laboratory logo to facilitate consumers to identify when purchasing a water heater.
Liu Runfeng, Vice Chairman of China Hardware Products Association
According to Liu Runfeng, vice chairman of the China National Hardware Association, the company has been at the forefront of the industry since it entered China, and it is a model for the water heater industry.
Xu Dongsheng, Vice Chairman of China Household Electrical Appliances Association
Xu Dongsheng, vice chairman of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, said that with the promotion of the national West-East Gas Pipeline Policy, China's natural gas facilities have been improved, the demand for gas water heaters in the urban market is very strong, consumer demand is driving the development of the industry, and the core enterprise of gas water heaters represented by energy rate Constantly paying attention to consumer demand, improving product structure, improving technical strength, and doing a lot of work in providing consumers with constant temperature, zero cold water, and large number of products, and promoting the healthy development of the industry.
