Rare Earth Thick Film Heating Technology

Water Purifier Heating Methods

1. Hot Tank Heating (Storage-Type Heating)

• Principle: Similar to traditional electric kettles or hot water bottles. The machine contains a stainless steel heating tank (hot tank), and the internal heating elements heat and maintain the water stored inside the tank.
• Advantages: Mature technology, low cost.
• Disadvantages:
  • Repeated Boiling Water: The water is repeatedly heated and cooled, which not only consumes more electricity but may also raise concerns about "reboiled water" (although this is controversial in the scientific community, it remains a psychological concern for consumers).
  • High Energy Consumption: The system requires continuous electricity to maintain the temperature, leading to higher energy consumption.
  • Long Waiting Time: Initial heating takes a longer time.
  • Large Size: The hot tank takes up a significant amount of space, making the machine bulky.
  • Fixed Water Temperature: Typically only provides a fixed high temperature, and multi-stage temperature adjustment is not possible.

2. Single-Tube Instant Heating

• Principle: Uses a metal heating tube, and the water is instantly heated as it flows through the tube.
• Advantages: Faster than hot tank heating and somewhat avoids the issue of reboiling water.
• Disadvantages:
  • Uneven Heating Efficiency: Mineral scale can accumulate on the heating tube, affecting heating efficiency and safety.
  • High Power Consumption: Usually requires a higher power rating (above 2000W), which places greater demands on the electrical system.
  • Unstable Output Temperature: The flow rate and water temperature are difficult to balance accurately.

3. Quartz Tube Instant Heating

• Principle: Water flows through a quartz glass tube, and the outer wall of the tube is coated with a heating film for heating.
• Advantages: The water and electricity are separated, which makes it somewhat safer; the heating speed is faster than hot tank heating.
• Disadvantages:
  • Fragile: Quartz tubes are at risk of cracking due to rapid temperature changes, making them less durable.
  • Scaling Issues: Mineral scale can accumulate on the inner walls of the tube, and cleaning is difficult.
  • Decreasing Heating Efficiency: The performance will degrade over time as it is used.
  
  

4. Rare Earth Thick Film Heating Technology: Principles and Top Advantages

• "Water-electric separation, absolute safety": The water flows inside the pipe, while the electric current runs outside, physically separated, providing the highest level of safety for you and your family.
• "Aerospace materials, anti-scaling and durable": Using special rare earth materials, it has high thermal efficiency and is not prone to scaling, with a service life far exceeding that of traditional heating technologies.

• Base Material: The core is a high-strength stainless steel water pipe, through which water flows.
• Coating: A special conductive rare earth material (containing precious metals like silver and palladium) is evenly and tightly sintered onto the surface of the stainless steel pipe via an advanced micro-glass coating process. This layer is extremely thin, usually only at the micron level.
• Heating by Electric Current: When electric current passes through this rare earth thick film, due to its resistive effect, nearly 100% of the electrical energy is converted into heat and directly transferred to the stainless steel inner pipe wall in contact with the water. The pipe wall then instantaneously transfers the heat to the water flowing inside.
