In the water heater industry, the industry has been there is a saying, electric water heater will eventually be replaced by more people in the industry believe that the new energy of solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters will be the direct replacement of electric water heaters.

    Recently, the Xinhua News Agency authorized to broadcast the recommendations of the CPC Central Committee on the Formulation of the 12th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development ", proposed building a resource-saving society; actively to the development of a new generation of energy saving and environmental protection, new energy industry; accelerate new energy development, and promote the clean and efficient use of traditional energy sources.

    There are media reports, in the "Twelve Five" involved in new energy industry planning, focus to accelerate the solar air technology popularization and application. During this period, the electric water heater Extinction is also rampant. But the reporter through numerous visits and found a large number of this view to dissenting, also proposed the development trend of the future water heaters will co-exist in a variety of forms of energy, rather than a direct replacement.tube solar water heater

    In favor: electric water heater Extinction

    The size of the water heater market in China is growing, electric water heater has been in a dominant position. The industry online monitoring statistics, as of the end of 2009, the size of the entire water heater market in China has reached 43.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth of 26.9%, domestic sales of 27.45 million units, a year-on-year growth of 20.81%. 14.1 billion yuan including electric water heaters, gas water heater 96 billion, 18 billion yuan (excluding large engineering machines), heat pump water heater 18 million solar water heaters.

    However, with the development of new energy, some electric water heater is the main product of the enterprises and research institutions believe that will eventually be replaced by electric water heater. Former that has already begun on the proposed international ban on the production of electric water heaters in energy efficiency that the electric water heater while the latter is no longer much room for improvement, new energy in line with the strategic objectives of the national energy saving represented by a heat pump water heater, an irresistible trend of the times.
