? If there is a gas pipeline, a gas water heater can be installed. Gas water heaters are more economical, produce water quickly, can be turned on immediately, and hold a large quantity of water. The downside is that it's not secure enough. Therefore, gas water heaters should not be installed in the bathroom. They should be installed in a ventilated area outside the bathroom to avoid poisoning incidents. Typically, the bathroom (guest bathroom) adjacent to the kitchen shares a gas water heater with the kitchen and is installed in the kitchen. Electric water heaters or solar water heaters can be considered for the master bathroom. The features are relatively clean and safe. However, electric water heaters consume a lot of electricity, are expensive and have limited water storage capacity, they cannotnor meet the needs of several people who use them at the same time or continuously.
? Solar water heaters consume less electricity, are environmentally friendly and have a larger water volume, but they are more suitable for northern regions. In the south, it rains more and the days are less sunny in winter. Solar energy often cannot heat water to a sufficient temperature.
For a reasonable setup, two types of water heaters can be used. be selected for more than two bathrooms. For example, the guest bathroom uses a gas water heater and the master bathroom uses an electric water heater; the guest bathroom uses a gas water heater and the master bathroom uses a solar water heater; or the guest bathroom uses an electric water heater and the master bathroom uses a water heateru electric; The main bathroom uses a solar water heater. Depending on the environment and equipment conditions, this choice can make full use of energy and meet the hot water needs of multiple places at the same time, which is a more reasonable setting.
The working principle of solar water heaters: At present, the most technologically advanced solar water heater is the vacuum collector tube solar water heater. The water in the vacuum tube uses the principle that hot water floats and cold water sinks. After absorbing solar energy, it circulates through temperature differences to heat the water in the water storage tank.
