In the solar water heater market, 2009, 20 10 and 20 1 1 were three years of ups and downs. In 2009, under the strong promotion of the policy of home appliances going to the countryside, the solar water heater industry ushered in a long-awaited high-speed development. However, the solar water heater enterprises immersed in the joy of great development for a short time found that with the growth of home appliances going to the countryside, the market competition became more and more fierce, and the industry growth rate slowed down obviously in 20 10. By 20 1 1 year, under the background of global economic depression and a series of domestic policies, solar water heaters, which are already in the early stage of development, are experiencing the cold winter in the market, just like many household appliances.
With the improvement of people's living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for the comfort of family life. The various electrical products that followed facilitated human life and occupied a lot of space. Because of this, more and more multifunctional electrical appliances have entered people's lives. Water heaters are also undergoing different generations of development:
The first generation gas water heater;
The second generation of electric water heaters, the development history of electric water heaters in China is divided by several landmark events in the industry;
1988 China's first electric water heater that can really take a bath was successfully developed in Ding Xin, which became the focus of various media at that time.
1989 electric water heater was changed from the original open water heater;
Small-capacity electric water heater was born in1991;
1992, the water-electricity separation technology of electric heating tube was successfully developed;
1995 ariston Wuxi base was put into production;
19.96 million Wanhe entered the field of electric water heaters;
1996 cherry blossoms enter the electric water heater industry;
1998a.o. Smith invested USD 30 million to establish Ai Ou Smith (China) Water Heater Co., Ltd. in Ning;
1999 Shuaikang invested 30 million US dollars to introduce world-class production lines;
Duckling started a price war in 2000, followed by ariston and Danpu.
200 1, Haier water heater participated in the formulation of the national standard "Water Heater Energy Saving";
In 2002, Shuaikang obtained the patent of intelligent anti-electricity wall technology; Shuaikang electric water heater was rated as a famous brand product in China; In 2003, Shuaikang, as one of the main drafting units of national standards, participated in the formulation of the first national standard for electric water heaters in China.
In 2004, Faroli bought Biliqi water heater in China;
In 2005, Yinhaixiang A8 electric wall-hung boiler with safety early warning function was born in Haier.
In 2007, the new safety standard of water storage electric water heater was implemented; In 2007, Shuaikang held a press conference on the intelligent electric water heater with anti-electric wall in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and announced that it would reach the new national standard of 8 1 0 days ahead of schedule.
In 2007, Ding Xin Electric and Oxton Group formally reached a comprehensive technical cooperation;
In 2007, Ding Xin won the patent of the ultimate anti-electric wall technology;
In 2008, Shuaikang launched 3G layered fine control electric water heater products;
In 2008, the energy efficiency limit value and energy efficiency grade of storage electric water heaters were officially implemented;
In 2009, Ding Xin returned to China, aiming at the new leading brand of electric water heater products in China;
In 2009, UDS Quantianxia electric water heater was included in the ranks of home appliances going to the countryside.
Third generation solar water heater
The Fourth Generation Split Air Energy Water Heater
It was introduced into China from developed countries in Europe and America in 1990s. The main engine and water tank are designed separately. Because the fluorine system needs secondary installation and assembly, it occupies a large space, and at the same time, in order to reduce the cost, a large number of accessories of the original household air conditioner are used. Causing frequent quality accidents has become synonymous with low price and low quality.
The fifth generation integrated air energy water heater
After several years of development and progress, in 2002, the first integrated air energy water heater appeared in China. The integrated design of main engine and water tank not only occupies less space, but also completely avoids the leakage of fluorine system during secondary installation. Although the integral air energy water heater has the function of making domestic hot water with low energy consumption, the price of 10000 yuan can only be used for export and a few families.
Sixth Generation: Household Multifunctional Water Heater
Aiming at the problem of high price and single function of integral air energy water heater, a household multifunctional water heater was developed in 2005. Its working principle is to absorb the energy in the air, convert it into heat and transfer it to the water tank to heat water, and at the same time release the low-temperature air that has lost a lot of energy into the kitchen for kitchen refrigeration. When the air loses energy and the temperature drops, a large amount of water vapor condenses, so the humidity of the released cold air is greatly reduced, which is equivalent to dehumidification. Therefore, the product integrates the functions of energy-saving central hot water, kitchen (bathroom) refrigeration and local dehumidification, which greatly improves the cost performance of the product.
