UL 174 Test Report for Household Storage Electric Water Heaters

Electric water heaters can be categorized into three types based on their heating power: storage type (also known as volumetric or heat storage type), instant type, and fast-heating type (also known as semi-storage type). Although the regULar fast-heating electric water heater and the dual-mode electric water heater are similar in size, their internal structures are quite different. CompaRED to storage electric water heaters, fast-heating electric water heaters are smaller in size but have higher power, making their heating speed faster than that of storage water heaters. However, fast-heating water heaters cannot achieve instant heating in spring and autumn; they still require preheating, meaning there is a waiting time. On the other hand, dual-mode electric water heaters can use the instant heating mode in spring, summer, and autumn, providing heat as soon as it is turned on.
