Problems in Heat Pump Water Heater Industry

Scale of Heat Pump Water Heater Industry

The size of the heat pump industry is still relatively small, the leading brand becomes vacant. First, the sales scale of industry is small. According to the Americana Research Center forecast, a sale of heat pump water heaters in 2011 was about 16 million, which is much less than the solar water heaters with the sales volume of nearly 400 million. Second, there has not been a leading brand in the heat pump industry. Due to the rapid expansion for market demand, and imperfect industry access system, and various of capitals with the production capacity of flooded into the market, small scale of the vast majority of air source heat pump water heater manufacturers, specializing in the production of low levels of market development not enough, only a few brands have national renown, the sales volume to the hundreds of millions of businesses has not yet appeared.

Inadequate Policy Support in the Heat Pump Water Heater Industry
Currently, the state has been or is being gradually introduced the considerable subsidy policy and industrial base policy to encourage the use of solar energy, some local governments also introduced a number of related policy. However, compared to the solar industry,heat pump system business has not fully enjoy the preferential fiscal and taxation policies of energy saving and environmental protection industry, heat pump hot water project users also do not enjoy subsidies policy, government support policy for the heat pump industry also cannot be compared with the solar industry.

Technical Level of the Heat Pump Industry Still Need to Be Improved
In recent years, a number of powerful enterprises have attached great importance to the research and development of technology, also have made gratifying achievements. But, overall, air source heat pump water heater has not been into China's market for a long time, industry access system is imperfect, uneven corporate, corporate general R & D investment is not enough, the product technology level is not high. First, the core components of the heat pump water heater compressor technology is poor, it is known that there are several domestic enterprises can provide dedicated compressor heat pump water heater, the vast majority of enterprises imported from abroad compressor or Use the air conditioning compressor. Second, t a number of heat pump water heaters have poor heating effect in a timely manner, and does not solve defrosting problem in a good way, it will cause the frost phenomenon after entering the winter. Third, the heater tank technology air source heat pump water is not mature enough, and sometimes causes the tank to burst. Overall, there is a gap between the technical level of the heat pump water heaters in China and the world, whether it is the level of manufacturing or design process, there is still much room for improvement.
