The power consumption of a wall mounted boiler that operates 24 hours a day is influenced by various factors. The following is a specific analysis:

1、 Power factor of wall mounted boiler itself

Different types of power differences

The power of wall mounted boilers is usually measured in kilowatts (KW). Generally speaking, the power of common household wall mounted boilers is between 10-30KW. If it is a smaller power wall mounted boiler, such as around 10KW, its power consumption is relatively small during 24-hour continuous operation; If it is a high-power wall mounted boiler of 20KW or even 30KW, the power consumption will increase accordingly.

For example, a 15KW wall mounted boiler has a theoretical power consumption of 15 kWh per hour (assuming a power factor of 1, the actual situation may be slightly lower than this value). So the 24-hour power consumption is 15 × 24=360 degrees.

Function activation impact

If the wall mounted boiler has multiple functions activated, such as supplying heating and domestic hot water at the same time, and there is a high demand for domestic hot water, frequent activation of the heating function will increase power consumption. Because each time heating is started, additional electrical energy is required to complete the process of raising the water temperature.

2、 Operating mode factors

Under constant temperature mode

In constant temperature mode, the wall mounted boiler will automatically adjust the combustion power according to the set temperature. When the indoor temperature approaches the set temperature, the wall mounted boiler will reduce its power operation, and the power consumption will be relatively stable and at a lower level. For example, if the indoor temperature is set to 20 ℃, the wall mounted boiler will maintain a constant temperature at a lower power when approaching this temperature, rather than continuously operating at maximum power.

In antifreeze mode

In cold weather, if the wall mounted boiler is in antifreeze mode, it will continue to operate at extremely low power to ensure that pipelines and equipment are not damaged by freezing. Although the power consumption in this mode is much lower than normal operation, there will still be some power consumption when it is turned on for 24 hours.

3、 Environmental factors

Outdoor temperature impact

The lower the outdoor temperature, the more gas the wall mounted boiler needs to burn to provide heat in order to maintain the indoor set temperature. At the same time, its supporting electric auxiliary heating device (if any) may also start more frequently, thereby increasing power consumption. For example, in cold northern regions with temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius, compared to southern regions with temperatures above zero, wall mounted boilers of the same power consumption will consume more electricity during 24-hour operation.

The impact of building insulation condition

When the insulation performance of the house is good, the heat loss is slow, and the wall mounted boiler does not need to frequently start heating to supplement heat, resulting in a decrease in power consumption. On the contrary, if the insulation of the house is poor and the heat is lost quickly, the wall mounted boiler will continue to work and the power consumption will also increase.

4、 Usage habit factors

Hot water usage frequency

If there are many people in the family and there is a frequent demand for domestic hot water, such as frequent bathing, using a large amount of hot water to wash dishes, etc., the wall mounted boiler needs to continuously heat the domestic hot water, which will increase its overall power consumption.

Temperature setting habits

Setting a higher indoor temperature (such as 25 ℃ or above) will cause the wall mounted boiler to consume more energy to maintain this temperature, thereby increasing power consumption; Setting the temperature within a reasonable range (such as 18-20 ℃) is relatively energy-efficient.

Overall, the power consumption of a wall mounted boiler that operates 24 hours a day varies due to various factors and cannot be simply given a fixed value
