Electric water heater industry technology upgrade challenges

Recently, Porter Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. from Ningbo has successfully launched a second-rate electric water heater through technological innovation, and launched a new impact on the speed limit of hot water solutions, leading the instant-type electric water heater into the second-speed era. As a result, under the current four technological innovation systems of “electricity, gas, solar energy, and air energy”, we have created a new era for the development of “instant electric water heaters”.

Chen Gang, deputy secretary-general of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, pointed out that the “12th Five-Year Plan” of China’s home appliance industry clearly stated that the main task of home appliance companies in the next five years is to carry out strategic upgrades and complete the transformation from manufacturing to creation. It promoted the professionalization and large-scale development of Porter, and it is expected to become the leading brand of the instant electric water heater industry, which once again proves the charm of technological innovation.”

Consumers upgrade to the electric water heater industry Currently, consumer demand for electric water heaters is not only satisfied with the traditional "can use" concept, but toward the water heater to meet the needs of multiple dimensions such as heat, energy, security, intelligence, fashion, aesthetics, etc. Evolution, which is virtually in the impetus to promote the development of instant electric water heater industry.

State Department of Development Research Center, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce Lu Jiebo pointed out that for consumers, instant-water heaters have many advantages over storage-type electric water heaters. First, the instant-type electric water heater is small in size and suitable for concealed installation. It is especially suitable for Chinese households whose space requirements are getting higher and higher; the second is that the heating time is short, which eliminates consumers from waiting for a long time; the third is that they can be multiplexed. Connections, whether showers, wash basins, or kitchen sinks, can be connected with instant electric water heaters, with less investment at one time, and all hot water pipes can be eliminated with complete sets; the fourth is energy saving due to the heat The electric water heater is instant and hot, does not require heat insulation, and does not repeatedly heat the unused hot water like a storage-type electric water heater, and saves more than 50% of the energy of the storage-type electric water heater.

With the upgrading of hot water consumption demand, the huge market potential of hot-water heaters is clearly highlighted. According to a survey conducted by the Development Research Center of the State Council, the current occupancy rate of urban household water heaters in China is 72.5%, which has not yet reached saturation. Coupled with the renewal of old users, 48% of urban households have the desire to purchase water heaters within the next five years.

According to Zhou Anbin, chairman of Ningbo Porter Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., “The market penetration rate of instant electric water heaters in our country is still less than 5%. There is a huge market for development, and there will be at least 20 million more units in the future. The advantages of easy-to-use hot water heaters, energy saving, and small size are being accepted and favored by the market and consumers."

Second-rate electric water heater came into being In recent years, China's instant electric water heater industry, a huge market capacity, attractive profit margins, but triggered a short-term market competition disorder.

Lu Renbo pointed out that due to the relatively low technical threshold of the instant-type electric water heater industry, attracting many companies flocked in, thereby aggravating the chaos of the industry order, many companies have adopted "low-cost, low-cost," which is To a certain extent, it affected the development and expansion of the market. The reporter also learned that there are many companies in the Guangdong region that are assembling and assembling products, and they mainly use low-price strategies to launch market offensives. The lack of technological innovation capability and the lack of enterprise competitiveness have become the bottleneck restricting the development of this sunrise industry.

As a high-tech enterprise specializing in the instant electric water heater industry, Porter has always regarded technological innovation as a growth gene for corporate development. Portan achieved technological breakthroughs through innovative R&D, which effectively promoted the transformation and upgrading of the instant-type electric water heater industry and became a powerful leading enterprise in the future industry technology development.

According to Porte’s chief engineer, Porter has adopted its own unique national invention patented heating system. The electrical energy conversion efficiency is more than 99.9%, and it is safe and energy-saving. Compared with ordinary electrothermal film heating technology, the electrical energy conversion efficiency is higher.

Zhou Anbin, a technology innovation and shuffling industry, believes that “the instant-type electric water heater has been in existence for more than 10 years since its birth, but market competition has been confined to low-level price wars. Nowadays, technological innovation competes for unfair market competition for Porter. It found new breakthroughs and development points. To promote the expansion of the instant-heat industry, technological innovation is a prerequisite, and comfort products that meet consumer needs are the most competitive.

It is understood that in order to eliminate the worries of consumer safety, Porter’s new products also increase the patented technology of the Teflon material anti-electric wall to ensure that the water heater does not leak electricity under any fault conditions and is more safe and reliable. According to experts, Teflon is hailed as the king of plastics, and its chemical properties are the most stable of all engineering plastics, reaching the medical grade. The use of this material to make the electrical wall is a permanent wall. The leakage current of the water heater is only 0.4μA, which is far less than the requirement of the national standard 0.25mA, and the safety performance is much better than other fast electric water heaters with anti-electric wall technology.

In addition, Porter's products use PID intelligent thermostatic water outlet software design, which realizes stepless automatic power adjustment and makes the outlet water temperature constant. This has become one of the few domestic instant electric water heater manufacturers that have this technology. At the same time, the heating body technology of Porter’s invention patent also realizes the possibility of miniaturization of high-power water heaters. Reasonable structural design brings great convenience to installation, combined with its use of international advanced touch button design, so that Consumers experience more bathing pleasure while enjoying the second speed hot water solution.

The instant-type electric water heater is a product not unknown to many Chinese consumers and has entered the Chinese market for sales promotion for more than 10 years. Compared with water storage type electric water heaters, there is energy saving of more than 50%, and the products are small in size suitable for installation in various occasions, avoiding the heat consumption and early heating of water storage products, and are convenient and quick to use.

Lu Jiebo, an expert from the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that due to the low technical threshold for instant-heat water heaters, many companies have rushed in the short-term and “there are many companies, few big brands, poor product quality, and lack of technological innovation. A series of market competitions, such as the emergence of low price wars and endless wars.

Lu Renbo pointed out that the current development of the instant-type electric water heater industry has reached a new crossroads, and the future development of the industry has changed from price competition to product technological innovation. The emergence of a number of technologically innovative enterprises represented by Boer Ann, It will inject new momentum and development space for the sustainable development of the industry in the future.

It is understood that the second-phase water heater launched by Porter has innovatively adopted the national invention patent technology and adopts its unique heating technology. The power conversion efficiency has reached 99.9%, the energy saving level has been increased by more than 50%, and the water heater has been realized. Open and use, from the boot to hot water appears only a short second. Previously, many thermal products had thermal conversion efficiencies of around 90% and hot water rates of more than 10 seconds.
