Winter water heaters must be protected against frostbite

Recently, there was an incident in Dalian where a water heater was frozen and exploded, and the water formed an icicle and fell into a car. To this end, experts remind consumers: in the severe winter season, we must prevent the occurrence of freezing accidents of water heaters.

At 1:30 pm on December 16, the reporter rushed to the scene of a smashed car in Dalian, and saw that the merchants on the first floor had already pulled up the cordon. "We are afraid that someone will be bruised from below." The staff of the first floor merchant told reporters. The reporter saw a broken car in the cordon. The car was surrounded by large and small pieces of ice. The hood of the car and the right front door were smashed, and the front windshield was cracked. Looking up from the top of the brakes, I saw under the eaves between the 10th and 11th floors. There were rows of thick icicles hanging there, which looked terrible.

According to the owner of the car, at 12 o'clock on December 15th, he parked the car downstairs on the 5th floor of Zhujiang Road, and then went to dinner with friends. When I returned from the meal, I found that the car was circled nearby. “Friends joked that it wasn’t your car parked in the wrong place, and was circled and refused to let go. I took a closer look and found that the icicles that had fallen from the upstairs were smashed.” The owner told reporters.

At the scene of the vehicle being smashed, the reporter saw Mr. Jiang, the 11-story homeowner. Mr. Jiang told reporters that because of the cold weather, the electric water heater installed in his outdoor room was frozen and exploded, causing the water in the water heater to flow out and form an icicle. "I have been in the field for a long time and have not come back to live. On the 12th, I received a phone call from the property and said that the water heater in the house was frosted. Let me come back quickly." Mr. Jiang told the reporter.

According to the reporter, on the early morning of the 12th, Dalian had a heavy snowfall. It was this heavy snow that caused the electric water heater installed by Mr. Jiang's house to be frozen and exploded. The water in the water heater flowed out to form an icicle, which eventually led to an accident.

For the reason of the electric water heater freezing, the reporter interviewed a well-known brand of water heater technicians. The technician said that the electric water heater installed outside should be plugged in and heated. Otherwise, the water stored in the water heater can easily freeze and freeze the water heater. It is recommended that consumers, in the winter, if the water heater is installed outdoors, it must be plugged in to prevent the occurrence of frost explosion accidents. Reporter Zhang Heng
