Components of Vertical Drinking Fountains

Vertical water dispensers consist of several essential components:

  • Water tank: Used for storing cold or hot water.
  • Heating element: Responsible for water heating.
  • Compressor: Enables rapid cooling.
  • Pre-filter: Filters out impurities, odors, heavy metals, and more from the water.
  • Heat sink: Utilized to reduce water temperature.
  • Fan: Enhances cooling efficiency.

The quality of any electrical appliance is intimately linked to the grade of its components, and when it comes to choosing a water dispenser, there are specific considerations:

  1. Material: Given variations in water quality across different regions, it is advisable to opt for materials with strong corrosion resistance, such as stainless steel, to prolong the product's lifespan.
  2. Heating element: Choosing cheaper components may compromise safety, potentially lead to excessive energy consumption, or even pose fire hazards.

 


Heating Elements

AQUATEK employs 316L stainless steel heating elements, setting them apart from conventional copper heating rods in a crucial way. The most significant distinction lies in the fact that stainless steel does not produce heavy metal byproducts, ensuring safer water quality. Stainless steel is free from elements like copper and chromium, completely eliminating concerns related to copper chloride and transformations, thus avoiding the risk of water quality being compromised by heavy metal contamination. Additionally, the stainless-steel heating element is highly durable and corrosion-resistant, capable of withstanding high pressure and temperature, outperforming copper by threefold.

Traditional copper heating rods, constrained by their copper composition, tend to consume more energy, heat unevenly, and may result in non-uniform water boiling. This raises concerns about the consumption of inadequately boiled water. However, our adoption of stainless-steel heating elements leads to a comprehensive improvement. The absence of copper, chromium, and the lack of chloride generation in stainless steel eliminate long-term degradation and secondary pollution, alleviating your concerns about the safety of the heating device.

Risks Zero-risk
  1. Uneven heating can introduce concerns about water safety, as it may lead to inadequately heated water, raising doubts about its suitability for consumption.
  2. Copper itself contains hidden toxic chlorides, putting drinking water at risk of heavy metal contamination, thereby presenting potential health hazards.

Compressors

AQUATEK sets itself apart by utilizing Panasonic compressor units that outsize those of other brands. These robust units play a pivotal role in elevating both the temperature and pressure of the vapor refrigerant, effectively creating a pressure differential for seamless refrigerant flow. Their remarkable efficiency ensures rapid and efficient air compression. Furthermore, they reduce operating time, supporting international energy-saving and carbon reduction initiatives and consequently leading to reduced electricity expenses.

Heat Sinks

Heat sinks, alternatively known as radiators, are comprised of a set of fins and fans. Constructed from either aluminum or copper, these heat sinks play a crucial role in reducing water temperature, effectively transforming it into chilled water.

AQUATEK's commitment to excellence extends to its heat sink design. These heat sinks boast an expansive surface area of up to 790 square centimeters, ensuring exceptional heat dissipation and significantly enhancing the cooling system's efficiency. This substantial heat sink not only guarantees enhanced motor power but also offers superior thermal resistance for optimal performance.
