A water dispenser is a device that heats or cools bottled pure water (or mineral water) for people to drink. Put bottled water on the top of the machine and use it with bottled water. Drinking fountains can be divided into three types: warm, ice-hot and ice-warm. Ice heat engine can be divided into two types: semiconductor refrigeration water dispenser and compressor refrigeration water dispenser.
At present, the water dispenser market has entered a mature stage, but there is no leading brand yet. Even Midea, which has the largest sales volume, has a market share of only about 12%, and the industry structure has not yet formed. No brand leads the whole industry in product technology and quality, and guides the consumption culture of the whole industry in brand values. Therefore, it is inferred that the water dispenser market is only in the early stage of maturity, which means that there will still be a big market for water dispensers in the next few years, especially in rural areas. Clean barrel: Clean barrel appeared in China from the end of 1980s. The early products had some problems such as simple structure and incomplete filtering of harmful substances. After years of research, China's new generation of household clean bucket technology has matured. With the media reports on black-hearted bottled water and the shortcomings of bottled water itself, clean barrels have developed greatly in recent years and are gradually favored by consumers. In 20 16, the sales of clean barrels in China accounted for more than one-fifth of the sales of drinking fountains. The main brands are Qinyuan, Li Sheng, Angel and Midea. All manufacturers involved in drinking fountain products basically do clean barrels. The price of cleaning bucket for domestic filter elements is1from 50 yuan to 400 yuan, while the price of cleaning bucket for imported filter elements is probably above 400 yuan.
Intelligent drinking fountains, also known as "intelligent drinking table", "intelligent water boiler" or "intelligent drinking table" according to different local habits, are new products different from bottled water drinking fountains and traditional drinking equipment. Through the filter, the magazines in the tap water are filtered out first, and then the tap water is automatically heated and cooled by the heat exchanger, thus reaching the standard of direct drinking, saving time and electricity for people to drink, and being suitable for factories, schools, hospitals and the like.
According to theoretical calculation and actual measurement, 200 people drink 400-degree heated boiling water every day, and only 7.2-degree electricity is needed to use intelligent water dispensers, while 38-degree electricity is needed to use ordinary water heaters. Therefore, the intelligent water dispenser saves 30.8 kWh per day, 924 kWh per month, 1 1088 kWh per year, and 1 yuan per kWh per year. Calculated by burning 0.36kg coal per kilowatt-hour, carbon dioxide10.8t can be reduced. According to statistics, drinking warm water can save 20 minutes per person per day, and 200 people can save 4000 minutes, equivalent to 66.7 hours, equivalent to the workload of 8 people. If the salary is calculated as per person 1000 yuan, the salary expenditure can be reduced by 96,000 yuan per year. If you drink bottled water, 200 people need 10 barrels of water every day. According to the 5 yuan per barrel, the cost of bottled water needs 1.8 million yuan per year. It can be seen that intelligent drinking fountains can reduce costs and maximize benefits.
At the same time, although the sales of water purifiers in China was about 25 billion yuan in 20 17, for ordinary families, water purifiers of several thousand yuan are a heavy burden, while water purifiers below 1,000 yuan do not use RO membrane and RO reverse osmosis membrane, so heavy metal elements in water can easily enter the water quality, affecting the health of consumers. On the other hand, the activation state of water purifier has always been a difficult problem for consumers of water purifier. Sometimes it takes a long time to release water before it can be used immediately, which has serious defects in convenience. Therefore, the emergence of intelligent drinking fountains has opened the channel of intelligent and healthy drinking water and filled the gap in the market. At present, the market size of the industry is about 5-6 billion yuan. With the promulgation of the new national standard for drinking fountains, it provides the most favorable opportunity for the upgrading of intelligent drinking fountains, greatly promotes the wide application of new energy-saving and healthy technologies, and also drives the further market segmentation of the intelligent drinking fountain industry, which has a good future development prospect.
