How about an air energy water heater? How about an air energy water heater? Personally, if we want to answer this question directly, we should look at it from two aspects: on the one hand, the effect of air energy water heater is very good in principle, on the other hand, there are corresponding problems in actual use of air energy water heater. You can get the answer by combining these two questions.
(1): The air energy water heater is very good in principle. Why? The so-called air energy water heater has many advantages in principle, that is, according to its own working principle and characteristics. This is also the slogan of some air-conditioning energy-saving water heaters. Personally, air energy water heaters have the following four advantages over other water heaters.
①: High safety performance. Because the hot water produced by the air water heater is obtained through exchange. In this way, the contact between water and circuit is avoided, and the complete separation of water and electricity is realized. That is to say, the air energy water heater exchanges heat through the outdoor evaporator and condenser, and then heats the water and stores it in the water tank. When we use it, the water in the water tank is transported to all parts of our room by circulating pump or booster pump for use. Therefore, from this point of view, it avoids electric shock and gas water heater leakage and other related problems, so the safety performance is relatively high.
②: High degree of energy saving. Why is the energy saving high? Because the working principle of air energy water heater is exactly the same as that of air conditioner, only one set of heat exchange facilities is added. In the process of work, we use heat exchange facilities to absorb the residual heat in the air and use these residual heat to heat our hot water. Therefore, it is superior to other types of water heaters in terms of potential energy saving.
③: The use cost is relatively low. The use cost mentioned here is relatively low, which is aimed at our traditional electric water heater. The operating cost of air energy water heaters is generally about 1/3 of that of electric water heaters. Personally, I think the use cost is basically the same as that of our gas water heater, so the use cost is still relatively low.
④ Long service life. Why do you say that the service life is longer alone? Air energy water heater, tell everyone that it works the same as air conditioning. Everyone knows that air conditioners can be used for more than ten years, and so can air energy water heaters. Its service life can reach more than 15 years. So the service life is still very long.
(2): What are the problems of the air energy water heater from the practical point of view? The so-called practical use of air energy water heaters here refers to some problems existing in the selection and use of water heaters in our family. These problems are also the main reasons why many friends don't choose air energy water heaters. The reasons given by individuals are as follows.
①: The price is relatively high. The so-called high price is aimed at our traditional electric water heaters and gas water heaters. For example, an ordinary air energy water heater usually costs 6000 yuan, 7000 yuan or more. The average electric water heater costs about 2,000 yuan. So the price is much higher. This is also our choice, and we should also consider this issue.
②: The space required for installation is relatively large. It is also easy to understand, and the space required for installation is relatively large. In addition to the outdoor unit similar to the air conditioner, the air energy water heater also has an independent water tank with a relatively large volume. Therefore, for residents living in the building, if there is no corresponding space, it is not satisfied to install air energy water heaters. This is also the main reason why most building residents do not choose air energy water heaters.
③: When the outdoor temperature is low, the air energy water heater is greatly affected. Because the air energy water heater mainly absorbs the residual heat in the air, if the outdoor temperature is below zero for a long time, then there is no residual heat to absorb. So the efficiency at this time is very low. In addition, the air energy water heater will frost, which will seriously affect the use.
Conclusion For air energy water heaters, if we plan to choose at home, we must consider the characteristics of air energy water heaters. Here, our focus is to consider whether the air energy water heater has installation space and whether the electricity at home can be met. The other is whether the outdoor temperature in our geographical location is below zero for a long time and so on. Before choosing an air energy water heater, you should consider these carefully. Therefore, although the air energy water heater is good, it is not suitable for all families.
