Current Situation of China Air Heat Pump

Air heaters can be called well-deserved energy-saving products

Air water heater (heat pump) has led the current hot water trend of the "fourth generation water heater" as a new product with energy efficient, clean, environmentally friendly, security, comfort and other advantages. In today's growing trend of energy conservation, air heaters can be called well-deserved energy-saving products in the hot water field. In June 2012, the "energy-saving products benefit project" brought the air source heat pump into the scope for the first time, which indicated that the national policy officially recognized the energy-saving properties of the air. Thus, the opportunity for the large-scale promotion of air water heaters in the Chinese consumer market has already come, which will gradually overthrow the old era that the traditional energy water heater entrenches the market.

The electric water heater is replaced by air water heaters

The policy of the "energy-saving products benefit project", the electric water heater is excluded by the promotion directory, which is replaced by air water heaters. On one hand, it indicates that China has officially recognized that the air water heat pumps are energy-saving products; on the other hand, electric water heater may face the fate of being eliminated. The electric water heater has occupied a large space hot water market in China, which occupied over 24% share of the entire water heating market with market capacity of 13.4 billion RMB in 2011. Thus, the phase-out project of the electric water heater in the Chinese market is huge. However, the tendency of the national green policies released a signal indicating that the water heater industry roadmap is already open.

The water heater industry development in China must keep up with the pace of the European market

The development of China's hot water industry can learn from the development process of hot water in United States and Europe. In 2005, the European Union developed water heater energy efficiency roadmap, stipulating the sale of electric water heaters to be prohibited in the European market from July 1, 2013. In addition, Australia has stipulated that the newly purchased water heater can only be solar energy, air and natural gas products, which prohibits new purchase of electric water heater. Meanwhile, Japan and the United States have taken the means of financial subsidies to encourage the purchase of air to water heat pump, which indirectly promotes the phasing out of electric water heaters. This industry believes that the water heater industry development in China must keep up with the pace of the European market. From the current situation, China would eliminate the electric water heater and then the gas water heater like the European market. Faced with such a large market, air water heat pumps are fully capable of overthrowing traditional energy water heater market to build an energy saving water heater market.

It is imperative to promote heat pump water heater energy efficiency rating standards in China

European Union has developed a comprehensive energy efficiency evaluation system, because the electric water heater does not meet the standards set by the energy efficiency system, so it is bound to face demise. If China's hot water industry is bound to move towards this process, then it is beyond doubt that China's energy efficiency standards take reference to European standards to perform. It is understood that a number of air enterprises including Midea, Gree, OUTES, Niu Entai and TSC, have been involved in the energy efficiency rating of heat pump water heater standard setting work. The industry peers have always stressed the importance of taking reference to the European standards. Thus, it is imperative to promote heat pump water heater energy efficiency rating standards in China.
