Identification of causes of explosion accidents of heat pump water heatersProject Background

heat pump water heater is an efficient heat energy promotion and transfer device based on the reverse Carnot cycle. It uses a small amount of electric energy as power and refrigerant as a carrier to continuously absorb low-grade heat energy in the air, convert it into usable high-grade heat energy, and then release the high-grade heat energy into the water that needs to be heated to produce domestic hot water, which is then delivered to users through hot water pipelines. The heat pump water heater can transfer heat from low-temperature heat sources (such as air, soil, seawater, underground water, etc.) to the water that needs to be heated to achieve the heating function of the water.  

Zhongke Testing provides identification services for the cause of explosion accidents of heat pump water heaters.

Identification of causes of explosion accidents of heat pump water heatersAnalysing content

The identification of the cause of the elevator accident can be analyzed from the following aspects:

1, damaged thermostat

Water heater length Time use causes more scale in the water heater, and the thermostat is easily damaged over time. Once the water heater thermostat is damaged, it means that the water heater cannot automatically control the temperature, and the water heater will continue to heat. If other safety measures fail at this time, the water heater is very likely to explode due to high temperature due to the failure of the thermostat.

2. Overheat protector

The overheat protector is the most critical safety component of the water heater. It is mainly used to prevent the water heater from exploding due to endless heating. For example, if the thermostat of the water heater is damaged and the water heater continues to heat, the water heater overheat protector will sense this and automatically cut off the power supply, so that the water heater stops working. It will also prevent the water heater from overheating and exploding due to constant heating.

0 3. Safety valve

2 The safety valve, also called the pressure relief valve, is the last safety measure for the water heater. Once the water heater thermostat is abnormal or the overheat protector is abnormal, the pressure relief valve will play a role at this time and will automatically relieve the pressure inside the water heater. Water will generally flow from the outlet of the pressure relief valve. This is a normal water heater pressure relief phenomenon. Once the water heater pressure relief valve is abnormal, the water heater will continue to heat, causing excessive internal pressure and causing the water heater to explode.
