History of Haier water heaters In 1995, the first water and electricity separation water heater was successfully developed. In 1997, the first leakage protector water heater was successfully developed. In 1999, the first three-safety water heater was successfully developed. In 2001, the first fully enclosed water heater was successfully developed. On March 18, 2002, the first anti-electricity wall electric water heater was successfully developed. In April 2003, Haier's patented anti-electric wall technology was listed as an international Torch Plan project by the Ministry of Science and Technology. In October 2003, Haier's "anti-electricity wall" technical proposal was adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission and will soon become an international standard. In October 2003, it was authorized to lead the formulation of three national standards: water heater safety standards, water heater performance standards, and water heater installation specifications. In April 2004, Haier water heater won the 2004 Energy Saving Contribution Award from the Bid Winning Certification Center. In July 2004, Haier's gas water heater won the "China Environmental Protection Foundation Green Product Award". On October 21, 2004, Silver Walrus A5 won the Kitchen and Bathroom Design Award at the China International Kitchen and Bathroom Exhibition. On November 27, 2004, Wuhan Haier water heater production base was put into production, and the first water heater energy-saving expert A5 rolled off the production line. In June 2005, Haier water heater Silver Walrus A6 received China Energy Saving Product Certification. In August 2005, Haier water heater Silver Walrus A8 received China Energy Saving Product Certification. In September 2005, it won the title of China Famous Brand Product. On October 12, 2005, Haier Water Heater Silver Walrus A8 won the Kitchen and Bathroom Design Award at the China International Kitchen and Bathroom Exhibition. In October 2005, Haier water heater won the 2005 Energy Saving Contribution Award from the Bid Winning Certification Center. In 2005, Haier's anti-electric wall water heater became the water heater supplier for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and successfully won the bid for the Space City, becoming the only water heater brand settled in the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base. In July and December 2005, Mr. Derek Johns, Chairman of the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) General Assembly, interviewed Haier twice and fully supported the "anti-electric wall" technology to become a national standard at this year's IEC General Assembly in London. In May 2006, Haier's anti-electric wall water heater won the "2006 First Creative China Ceremony - The Most Creative Industrial Design" award. On October 30, 2006, the anti-electricity wall technology proposal was successfully written into the national standard and officially implemented on July 1, 2007. On January 21, 2007, Haier won the Standard Innovation Contribution Award, the most important award at the Science and Technology Innovation Trend Development Forum in the Home Appliances and Electronics Industry, for its contribution to successfully writing the anti-electricity wall technology into the new national standard for electric water heaters. In August 2007, Haier TT series water heaters with 3D dynamic heating technology, the result of joint research and development between Haier Water Heater and Chinese Academy of Sciences Mechanics, were successfully launched. In September 2007, Haier Water Heater successfully won the bid for the water heater project of the main venues such as the Olympic sports venues, media village, and logistics center of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. On December 9, 2007, Haier's anti-electric wall water heater won the "2007 Most Valuable Home Appliance Brand in China's Home Furnishing Industry" at the 3rd China Home Furnishing Development Annual Conference. In December 2007, Haier's patented anti-electric wall technical standard proposal for water heaters successfully completed all approval procedures and was successfully upgraded from a Chinese national standard to an international standard. On January 11, 2008, Haier's 3D anti-electric wall water heater, "Wireless Communication" gas water heater and other patented products won the 2008 Innovation Achievement Award for Influence on Home Appliance Technology and Consumption Trends. On March 5, 2008, Haier's independently developed blue flame safety technology for gas water heaters became the second key safety technology to obtain a national patent after the anti-electric wall patented technology. In April 2008, Haier's anti-electric wall water heater market share reached a historic breakthrough of 40%. As of June 5, 2008, Haier's anti-electric wall water heater products have been fully deployed in 13 major venues including the Athletes Village, Olympic Media Village, Olympic Logistics Headquarters, and Olympic Sports Center, with a total number of installed units reaching 6,987. On August 9, 2008, the Olympic Sailing Torch using the Haier gas water heater combustion system was officially lit at the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center, which also marked the official launch of the 2008 Olympic Sailing Games in Qingdao.
On August 30, 2008, Haier launched the "Heart of the Holy Fire" series of gas water heaters, becoming the world's first gas water heater product to apply cutting-edge Olympic torch technology to truly realize the civilian application of industrial technology. In January 2009, Haier's Changxiang electric water heater series won the German IF Industrial Design Award, known as the "Oscar of the design industry", for its snow-white ice jade appearance. On March 26, 2009, Haier water heater won the first prize at the 2009 China Electric Water Heater Development Trend Forum with its revolutionary anti-electric wall technology in the field of anti-leakage safety and its independently developed leading heating technology 3D dynamic heating technology. Three awards for electric water heater safety contribution, energy saving contribution and energy saving innovation. On April 15, 2009, Haier's six electric water heater products in the Changxiang series were officially launched. This series of products is aimed at high-end consumers. With its fashionable and beautiful appearance and easy operation integrated with leading technology, this series of products has officially launched Haier's first shot of water heaters entering the high-end market.
