点评：气动室电阻热水器“晚期潮”

当我们考虑在我们家中的技术时，我们通常会考虑引人注目的事情。我们谈谈最新的游戏机，或我们全新的70英寸液晶电视。墨水的河流已被用过关于每次连续产生的iPhone的印刷文章。所有这一切都是有道理的。毕竟，娱乐和媒体占据了我们大部分脑的不成比例。但还有其他技术对您的家来说更为重要。例如，采取您在日常生活中使用的各种设备。他们的工作越好，你的越好。

能源价格上涨，热水可以是您能源法案的重要组成部分。想想每天使用多少水。现在想象一下，将所有浇水浇水。正如您可能想象的那样，这将在您的天然气或电气账单中进行重要的丁。因此，如果您试图升级您的房屋，更有效的热水器是一种使其做的好方法。如果您正在寻找尖端家用电器，风险风筝是一个开始的好地方？他们制作各种较小的家用电器，如他们的AGH380 air purifier。Since their small appliances work so well, we thought we’d take a look at their water heater.

我们将审查Airthereal Electric Tankless Water Heater。This is far from the only tankless water heater on the market, but it’s one of the easiest to use. It’s also reasonably easy to install, provided you’re handy with the electrical aspects. But those are just a couple of the things you should be looking for when you upgrade your water heater. To know whether the Airthereal heater is worth buying, you need to know a lot more information. You need to know what it’s capable of, both in terms of temperature and quantity of water. You need to know where it can be used, and how the interface works. Here, we’ll discuss those features, as well as everything else you need to know. Let’s begin!

Why Use a Tankless Water Heater?

在我们谈论气体的“傍晚潮”EVT-18K热水器之前，让我们回答更一般的问题。你为什么要使用无水罐热水器？有几个好处，以及几个缺点。让我们仔细看看你为什么 - 或者不应该 - 使用这种加热器。

首先，无油桶热水器明显更易于安装。即使是一个小型传统加热器也是大而笨重的，需要多个人进入地点。另一方面，无油桶加热器可以安装在任何型电池，甚至在一个小壁橱里。因为没有坦克，它只是没有占用空间。沿着相同的线路，无油桶加热器通常更容易铅铅。最后，无罐式加热器很容易摆脱其有用的寿命。如果你曾经不得不完整地涂抹了一个完整的40加仑的热水器，你将与此联系。

无水管加热器的另一个主要好处是您拥有无限的热水。冷水流入，热水出来。如果你想留在淋浴时，你可以。另一方面，通过传统的热水器，您只有这么多热水。最终，你必须关闭你的水，等待加热器做它的魔力。同时，你不能淋浴，洗碗，或洗衣服。

请记住，这有一个缺点。即使是最强大的无水罐加热器也只能处理这么多的流量。另一方面，传统的加热器可以立即输出更多的水。只要你没有长时间，你可以同时淋浴并做洗衣。如果您想要从无油桶加热器流动，可能需要安装第二个加热器。

The main reason a tankless water heater is more efficient is because it’s not keeping your water hot all day. Let’s say you have a traditional water heater, and you finish showering at 7:30 in the morning. You go to work, get home at 5:30, and wash your hands before preparing dinner. For that entire 10-hour period you were out of the house, your water heater has periodically been turning on. With a tankless heater, you’re only using power to heat the water, not to keep it hot. The only downside here is that you’re flash-heating the water, so you need a lot more wattage. The total power draw is still much lower, though.

无油桶热水器的最终主要优势在于它更容易维护。用普通的热水器，每年必须排水两次。否则，矿物沉积物将在内部积聚，最终会破坏您的加热器。另一方面，通过无罐式加热器，没有大型坦克的停滞水。没有缩放构建，所以你不必冲洗任何东西。现在我们知道

Design & Installation

TheAirthereal Electric Tankless Water Heater有一个黑色的人造bru铝住房shed finish. This makes it corrosion-proof and durable, as well as easy to keep clean. It’s rectangular in profile, and measures 17.25 inches high, 12.22 inches wide, and 3.43 inches thick. It’s also surprisingly heavy for the size, tipping the scales at 18.74 pounds. This is because inside the plastic housing, there’s a lot of metal piping and parts. The back of the housing is also removable, which is useful if you need to perform any diagnostics. That said, for ordinary use, you shouldn’t have to access the inside of the unit. You should only have to open it up when you’re wiring it.

At the bottom of the housing, there’s a pair of ¾-inch NPT connections, the standard size for interior main lines. Keep in mind that that’s not the same size as the pipe used for individual fixtures. Almost all interior fixtures use a ½-inch pipe. In other words, you’d use this heater somewhere along your home’s main line, not for a particular room. That said, if you want to feed some rooms but not others, you can. You’d just have to plumb another branch into the main line. This is obviously easier when your house is under construction, but it’s not always a big deal. If you have a big, unfinished basement, you can probably access much of the main line from there.

One thing to keep in mind is how many fixtures you’re trying to supply. In theory, the Airthereal water heater can supply hot water for two showers simultaneously. That’s about as much as you could reasonably expect from most full-sized water heaters. However, the temperature of the incoming water makes a big difference. The warmer it is, the more volume you can handle while still getting the water suitably hot. There’s a temperature chart onAirthereal’s website。它显示您可以在您所在地区进行热量的大约多少卷。

Next to the water in and out connections, there’s also a power connection. Keep in mind that this is a powerful, 240-volt connection, so ordinary household wiring won’t do. You’ll need to use a pair of 8AWG braided-pair wires in order to safely wire in the heater. You’ll also need to install a dual 40-amp double-pole breaker in your breaker box. This is the most challenging part for most homeowners. Unless you’re very experienced with electrical repairs, you’ll want to hire an electrician.

该套件还包括安装热水器所需的所有档位。有螺钉，锚和金属片，用于将其安装在墙壁上。最后，你得到一个过滤器垫片，进入水进口。这使碎片免于吸入你的加热器并损坏内部部件。

性能和日常使用

So, what kind of performance can you reasonably expect? In the warmest parts of the country, you can put out 3.1 gallons per minute (GPM), enough for two bathrooms. However, in most parts of the country, one bathroom is a more reasonable expectation. In the coldest parts of the country, such as far northern Minnesota, the Airthereal “Evening Tide” EVT-18K will barely work at all. The water is simply too cold when it’s coming into the heating element. That said, you’ll get at least some coverage in most of the country. And if you want to use a tankless heater for your whole house, you can install more than one heater.

The temperature of the water can be adjusted as high as 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that this is very hot. Most people use 120-degree water if there’s any risk of children turning on the tap. To change the temperature, you simply press the “+” and “-“ buttons under the LCD display. There’s also a power button, so you can easily turn the heater off altogether.

There are several safety features built into the design, but there are two in particular you should be aware of. First off, there’s a thermal protection shutoff to keep you from getting burned. If the water temperature reaches 131 degrees, the Airthereal heater will automatically shut off. It’s also protected against running when the housing is dry. Unless there’s at least 0.475 GPM of flow, the heating element itself will remain cool. So if your faucet is at a trickle, the heater isn’t going to kick in.

Final Verdict

The空风雨“傍晚潮”EVT-18K电阻热水器is a well-engineered piece of equipment. As major appliances go, it’s relatively simple to install. It’s powerful enough to supply the whole family, depending on where you live. And it’s designed with all the protections you need to keep yourself and your family safe. All in all, this is one of the most capable tankless water heaters on today’s market.
