Pipeline machines and direct drinking machines are common drinking equipment in modern home and office environments, and they provide users with convenient drinking water solutions. However, there are some differences between the two in terms of design concept, working principle, functional characteristics and applicable scenarios.
1. Pipeline machine
Pipeline machines, also known as piped water dispensers, are connected directly to the municipal water system. Through a built-in filtration system, the pipeline machine purifies the tap water and then provides hot and cold water for users.
1. Working principle.
1) Filtration: It usually includes multi-stage filtration such as PP cotton, granular activated carbon, compressed activated carbon, ultrafiltration membrane, etc.
2) Heating and refrigeration: hot and cold water are provided by heating up and cooling the refrigerant circulation system through electric heating tubes.
2. Functional characteristics.
1) Multi-stage filtration to ensure water quality.
2) Provide hot and cold water.
3) Connect to municipal water pipes, no need to add water regularly.
4) Replace the filter element regularly.
3. Applicable scenarios.
1) Corporate Office.
2) Public places.
3) High-end residential complex.
2. Direct drinking machine
A direct drinking dispenser is a miniaturized household drinking device that can directly convert tap water into purified water that can be directly consumed.
1. Working principle.
1) Filtration: After a precision filtration system, it removes impurities, residual chlorine and peculiar smell in the water.
2) Purification: RO reverse osmosis membrane or ultrafiltration membrane is used to further improve water quality.
2. Functional characteristics.
1) Compact size, easy to use at home.
2) Efficient filtration, purer produced water.
3) Easy operation and maintenance.
4) The filter element needs to be replaced regularly.
3. Applicable scenarios.
1) Family. 2) Small office.
3) Private studio.
3. Comparison
The main differences between a pipeline machine and a direct drinking machine are:
1. Connection: The pipeline machine is connected to a fixed water source, and the direct drinking machine is generally connected by manual addition or small pipes.
2. Water quality treatment: Pipeline machines are mostly based on filtration, while direct drinking machines often use RO reverse osmosis technology, which has better filtration effect.
3. Water temperature adjustmentPipeline machines usually have heating and cooling functions, and most direct drinking machines only provide room temperature or heated water.
4. Difficulty of installation: The pipeline machine needs to be installed fixedly, and the direct drinking machine is small in size and easy to move.
5. Maintenance costs: The filter element of the pipeline machine is relatively large, and the replacement cycle is long, but the cost is also highThe filter element of the direct drinking machine is replaced frequently, but the unit price is low.
6. Capacity: The pipeline machine is suitable for the environment with a large amount, and the direct drinking machine is more suitable for home or small office.
Pipeline machines and direct drinking machines have their own advantages, and users should choose the right products according to their own needs. Large office environments are more suitable for installing pipeline machines to meet the drinking water needs of a large number of people. For users who are looking for water purity and home convenience, a direct drinking machine is a better choice. What both systems have in common is that the filter elements need to be replaced regularly to ensure that the water quality is safe.
