Examples

An air-powered water heater is a device that utilizes thermal energy in air to heat water. It belongs to a novel hot water supply mode, and has a plurality of unique characteristics and advantages compared with the traditional electric water heater or gas water heater. The working principle of the air energy water heater is based on the heat pump technology. It effects the heating process by absorbing heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the hot water. Specifically, the air-powered water heater includes a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, and an expansion valve. The compressor compresses low temperature and pressure air to raise its temperature and pressure, and then releases heat to water in the condenser to raise the water temperature. Finally, the cooled air enters the evaporator again through the adjustment of the expansion valve, and the air circulates and reciprocates.

The air energy water heater is obvious in energy saving effect, green and environment-friendly and wide in application range, and gradually approaches the life of wide consumers. Compared with other water heaters, the air energy water heater is not limited by weather, is not limited by environment in installation, and has stronger adaptability.

The water tank of the air-powered water heater is a portion for storing heated hot water, and is usually located at the upper portion or side of the main body of the water heater. The tank capacity of an air energy water heater is generally dependent on the needs of the domestic or commercial use and may be selected with different capacities. Common capacities range from 100 liters to 500 liters and can be selected according to the needs of the user. The tank is usually provided with a heat insulation layer in order to reduce the dissipation of heat. The heat insulating layer is made of heat insulating material, such as polyurethane foam or glass fiber, and can effectively reduce the temperature loss of hot water in the storage process. The interior of the tank is typically equipped with one or more heating elements for providing additional heating when needed. These heating elements may be electrical heating rods or tubes that are activated when the ambient temperature is low or the heat pump system fails to meet the hot water demand. The water tank is typically equipped with a temperature controller for setting and controlling the temperature of the hot water. The user can adjust the temperature as needed to ensure that the hot water supply meets his needs. The housing of the tank is typically made of a corrosion and pressure resistant material, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel sheet. The internal water storage area is typically made of food grade plastic or stainless steel materials to ensure safe and harmless storage of hot water.

The water tank volume of the water heater sold in the market at present is fixed, and if the number of people staying in the home of a user is increased, the condition that the hot water is not used enough can occur; or in a certain period, the number of people in the user's home is reduced, or because of season problems, the demand for hot water is reduced, and the volume of the water tank is not changed, so that excessive hot water, energy waste and consumption are increased. The gas water heater has no volume limitation, but has limitation requirement on the installation position, potential safety hazard exists, and the solar water heater has the advantages of low energy consumption, troublesome operation and larger influence by weather factors. If the volume can be changed according to the water consumption on the basis of the water tank of the air energy water heater, the water heater can meet the requirement of users on hot water, save energy and reduce consumption.
