Hello, I am Science Xiaoquan, a creator who loves science. Today I want to share with you a common topic in winter: which heating equipment is the most economical? I'm sure many people have this question, after all, the cold of winter not only affects our physical health, but also affects our mood and quality of life. So, how should we choose the right heating equipment? Below, I will introduce you to several common heating equipment, analyze their advantages and disadvantages, as well as applicable scenarios and people, hoping to help you make a wise choice to make winter warm and comfortable.
Air conditioning heating is the most common way, air conditioning is simple and convenient to operate, and the heating speed is fast, it can be timed, the temperature can be fixed, and the appropriate temperature can be adjusted according to the need. The principle of air conditioning heating is to use refrigerant to circulate indoors and outdoors, and to achieve heat transfer through compression and expansion, so as to achieve the effect of heating. The advantages of air conditioning heating are:
It has a wide range of applications, and almost all air conditioners have heating functions, whether they are hang-up or cabinet-set, whether they are inverter or fixed-frequency, they can be used.
The effect is good, air conditioning heating can quickly increase the indoor temperature, and the temperature distribution is uniform, and there will be no local overheating or overcooling.
Intelligent, air conditioning heating can automatically adjust the operation mode and wind speed according to the indoor and outdoor temperature and the temperature set by the user, and can also be switched on and off regularly to save energy.
The disadvantages of air conditioning heating are:
Electricity consumption, air conditioning heating is relatively more electricity-intensive, generally consumes 1-2 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, if used for a long time, the electricity cost will be relatively high.
Dry, air conditioning heating will make the indoor air dry, which can easily lead to problems such as chapped throat, throat discomfort, respiratory tract infection, etc., especially for the elderly and children, more attention needs to be paid to moisturizing and hydration.
Noise, air conditioning heating can produce a certain amount of noise, especially outdoor units, if installed near the bedroom, it may affect the quality of sleep.
Air conditioning heating is suitable for:
Occasions with large indoor area that require whole house heating, such as living room, study, bedroom, etc.
When there is an air conditioner indoors, there is no need to buy additional heating equipment, only the mode and temperature of the air conditioner need to be adjusted.
The indoor temperature is low and needs to be heated up quickly, such as getting up in the morning and returning home in the evening.
Gas wall-hung boiler is a kind of equipment that uses gas combustion to produce hot water, which is transported to the room through radiators or floor heating pipes to achieve heating and hot water. The principle of gas wall-hung boiler is to use a gas burner to mix gas with air and burn it to produce high-temperature flue gas, transfer the heat of the flue gas to the water through the heat exchanger, so that the water is heated, and then the hot water is transported to the radiator or floor heating pipe through the circulating pump, and the heat is dissipated to the room by way of convection and radiation. The advantages of gas wall-hung boilers are:
Energy-saving, the thermal efficiency of the gas wall-hung boiler is high, generally more than 90%, which is more than 50% more energy-saving than air conditioning heating, and the gas ** is relatively low, and the operating cost is low.
Comfortable, the heating method of the gas wall-hung boiler is mild, which will not cause the indoor air to dry, and the temperature distribution is uniform, and the temperature difference will not be too large, and the temperature and water volume can also be adjusted according to the needs to meet different needs.
Practical, the gas wall-hung boiler can not only provide heating, but also provide hot water, a multi-purpose, convenient life, and the gas wall-hung boiler is small in size, installed on the wall, does not occupy space, beautiful and generous.
The disadvantages of gas wall-hung boilers are:
The installation cost is high, the installation of the gas wall-hung boiler requires professional personnel, and the supporting radiator or floor heating pipe is required, and the installation cost generally ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, depending on the area of the house and the heating method.
Maintenance is troublesome, the use of gas wall-hung boiler needs to be checked and cleaned regularly to ensure safety and efficiency, and it is necessary to pay attention to the ** and emission of gas to prevent the risk of gas leakage and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Limited by the use of gas wall-hung boiler requires the connection of gas pipelines, and needs to have a suitable installation location and exhaust conditions, not all houses are suitable for installation, especially some old houses, which may need to be renovated to use.
Gas wall-hung boiler is suitable for:
The indoor area is large and the whole house needs to be heated, such as villas, duplexes, etc.
When there is a gas pipeline indoors, it can be easily connected to the gas wall-hung boiler, and the gas ** is relatively low, and the operating cost is low.
When the indoor temperature is low and long-term heating is required, such as the winter in the north, the gas wall-hung boiler can provide a stable temperature and hot water to improve the quality of life.
Electric heaters are probably the most affordable way to heat up, and they can be bought for dozens of dollars. The principle of an electric heater is to use electrical energy to heat the resistance wire, and then dissipate the heat into the air through a fan or other means, so as to achieve the heating effect. The advantages of electric heaters are:
*Low, the ** of electric heaters generally ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan, which is the cheapest heating equipment, and there are many types, such as heaters, small suns, oil tins, graphene, etc., which can be selected according to their preferences and needs.
It is easy to move, the electric heater is small in size, light in weight, can be moved anywhere at will, and can be used as long as there is an outlet, which is very flexible.
The heating speed of the electric heater is very fast, and the obvious temperature change can be felt in a few minutes, and the temperature and wind speed can be adjusted according to the needs to control the heating effect.
The disadvantages of electric heaters are:
Electricity consumption, electric heaters consume a lot of electricity, generally consume 1-2 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, if used for a long time, the electricity cost will be relatively high.
The effect is poor, the heating range of the electric heater is limited, generally only the local space can be heated, and the temperature distribution is uneven, it is easy to overheat or overcool, and it will also cause air flow, resulting in the spread of dust and bacteria.
Safety hazards, the use of electric heaters needs to pay attention to fire prevention and anti-electric shock, can not be close to flammable materials and water sources, can not be covered on quilts or clothing, otherwise it may lead to disasters or electric shock accidents, especially for the elderly and children, more need to pay attention to safety.
Electric heaters are suitable for:
The indoor area is small and only needs local heating, such as the bathroom, kitchen, desk, etc.
When there is no other heating equipment indoors, it can be used as a temporary or supplementary heating method, such as renting a house, a hotel, etc.
In situations where the indoor temperature is high and only needs to be warmed slightly, such as the winter in the south, electric heaters can provide moderate warmth without overheating or drying out.
An electric blanket is a device that uses electrical energy to heat the heating wire, and then transfers the heat to the human body through a plush cloth or other materials to achieve heating. The principle of electric blanket is to use the resistance effect of the heating wire to convert electrical energy into heat energy, and then transfer the heat to the human body through the thermal conductivity of plush cloth or other materials. The advantages of electric blankets are:
Comfortable, the heating method of the electric blanket is to directly heat the human body, not the air, so it feels more comfortable, and the surface material of the electric blanket is generally soft, which can increase the quality of sleep.
Energy-saving, the power consumption of electric blankets is very low, generally only 01-0.2 kWh, much more energy-saving than other heating equipment, and the electric blanket can be timed and temperature-fixed, and the appropriate temperature and time can be adjusted according to needs to avoid wasting energy.
Safety, the voltage of the electric blanket is generally low voltage, which will not cause the danger of electric shock, and the electric blanket has the function of overheating protection and power-off protection, which can prevent the risk of fire and scalding.
The disadvantages of electric blankets are:
The effect is single, the electric blanket can only heat the human body, not the air, so it can only be used when sleeping, not after getting up or other times, and the electric blanket can only heat one side of the body, and the other side will still feel cold.
Drying, electric blankets will cause the human body to lose moisture, resulting in dryness, dry mouth and other problems, especially for the elderly and children, more attention needs to be paid to moisturizing and hydration.
Affecting health, electric blankets will produce a certain amount of electromagnetic radiation, although not very strong, but long-term use may have a certain impact on the human nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, etc., especially for pregnant women, infants, heart patients, etc., more need to be used carefully.
Electric blankets are suitable for:
When the indoor temperature is low and you need to warm up while sleeping, such as the winter in the north, electric blankets can provide a comfortable sleeping environment and improve the symptoms of cold.
When there are other heating equipment indoors, it can be used as an auxiliary heating method, such as using an electric blanket while using an air conditioner or gas wall-hung stove, which can increase the feeling of warmth and save energy.
When the indoor temperature is high and only needs to be warmed slightly, such as the winter in the south, the electric blanket can provide moderate warmth without overheating or drying.
