(2020-12-22 edit) In recent years, tourism projects with hot springs as the theme have flourished all over the country, and hot spring tourism has become a major hotspot for leisure and vacation tourism. As the domestic epidemic situation is basically stable, the popularity of hot spring hotels, hot spring resorts, hot spring resorts and other hot spring resorts is rapidly rising as soon as winter enters. Soaking in a hot spring is simply a wonderful health journey.

As we all know, hot spring water contains various minerals, which are not only good for the skin, but also good for the body. So what are the specific benefits of bathing in hot springs? Let's take a look at it together.
The metasilicic acid in hot springs can beautify and resist aging. As an essential element in human skin connective tissue, articular cartilage and joint connective tissue, metasilicic acid has the function of increasing skin elasticity and maintaining the integrity of the tissue surrounding elastic fibers.
Fluorine is beneficial to increase the hardness of bones; iron can be absorbed through the skin to reduce inflammation and relieve pain; strontium is closely related to the development of human bones, cardiovascular function and structure, and nerve and muscle excitement. It also has anti-oxidation and anti-aging properties. effect.
With the progress of the times and technology, people have a deeper understanding of the research on hot spring water:

In summary, this is the reason why people like hot springs. However, in addition to these reasons, many hot springs are built around the mountains and rivers. The scenery is beautiful. You can enjoy the natural scenery around while you soak in the hot springs. Perhaps this is another factor that attracts everyone to go to the hot springs on vacation.
However, many people do not understand that not all underground hot water is called hot springs.
According to the "Geothermal Resources Geological Prospecting Specifications" (national standard) promulgated by the Ministry of Land and Resources, in a specific geological environment, the natural outcrop of underground hot water containing minerals and trace elements with a spring temperature greater than or equal to 25°C is called a hot spring. Taking Hubei as an example, Hubei Province has four major hot spring areas, which are located in Luotian and Yingshan in the Dabie Mountains; Xianning in the Mufu Mountains; Jingshan, Suizhou, Zhongxiang, and Yingcheng in the Dahongshan Mountains; and in the Daba Mountains. Shennongjia, Fangxian, Baokang and other places.

Among the 69 geothermal resources measured in Hubei Province, from the outlet temperature, 26 have a water temperature above 40℃, represented by Yingcheng, Luotian, Xianning and other places; hot water geothermal resources of 25℃-40℃ There are 34 places, represented by Fangxian, Baokang and other places; another 9 places with geothermal resources less than 25℃.
At the same time, not all hot springs are suitable for direct bathing. According to the first hot spring standard promulgated by Hubei Province in 2010, the bathing hot springs that can be directly bathed are "obtained from underground natural gushing or manual drilling, the temperature of the outlet is greater than or equal to 35 ℃, and contains appropriate minerals that are beneficial to human health. , Trace element geothermal water", and this is also the more suitable water temperature for people to soak in hot springs in winter. This means that if you want to soak in hot springs in these places in winter, nearly half of the underground hot water needs to be heated before it can be enjoyed by tourists.
Shu Boyang, deputy dean of the Wuhan branch of the China Tourism Research Institute and a professor at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, believes that the hot spring water can be cooled or heated without changing the main components and content of the hot spring water, and will not affect the purity of the "bath" hot spring. .

Cao Jiangcheng, vice president of Hubei Tourism Association and president of Hot Spring Branch, said that most of the hot spring resources developed and utilized in Hubei Province are around 40°C. Low temperature hot springs with insufficient temperature need to be heated before entering the hot spring pool area; while high temperature hot springs , Generally, the thermal energy is converted through natural heating, etc., into hot spring water of about 50 ℃, and then enters the hot spring pool area through the pipeline.
Therefore, in order to meet the needs of hot spring operations such as resorts, it is particularly important to install a stable and reliable hot spring hot water system.
Common hot spring water heating equipment on the market currently includes coal-fired boilers, gas-fired boilers, electric heaters, solar heaters and air source heat pumps.
Although traditional coal-gas boilers are energy-saving, they have high environmental pollution and are flammable and violent. Although gas-fired boilers have low pollution, they have certain risks such as gas poisoning. They have high operating costs and may run out of gas during peak seasons; solar water heaters Although it is energy-saving, money-saving and safe, it is greatly affected by the weather, unstable operation, and requires installation location; although the electric boiler is convenient to install and simple to use, it has the risk of electric leakage and electric shock.

Compared with traditional coal/gas/oil boilers, air source heat pumps do not use coal, natural gas and other fuels, and there is no open flame when heating. Therefore, the use of air source heat pumps is not only environmentally friendly and clean, but also effectively prevents fires, explosions, poisoning and other accidents. .
Compared with solar water heaters, air source heat pumps are not restricted by places, seasons, and weather when they work. They can work normally regardless of spring, summer, autumn, winter, day and night, and ensure a stable supply of hot water for places that need it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Compared with electric boilers, air-source heat pumps do not directly use the "electric-heat" conversion method to directly heat, but use a small amount of electricity to obtain heat from the surrounding environment, and use this part of the heat to heat the water, so the heating efficiency is very high. , 3 times that of ordinary electric boilers, it is very energy-saving when used.
The air source heat pump has no combustion, no emissions, no fire hazards, no pollution, high efficiency and energy saving, and can be used in any weather environment. It can meet the reheating needs of hot springs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Air source heat pumps can not only meet the government's energy saving and environmental protection requirements, but also reduce the power consumption of equipment by absorbing free heat in the air, thereby effectively reducing the operating costs of hot springs. Therefore, the air source heat pump has emerged from many forms of heat sources and has become a popular hot spring water heating equipment.

AQUA hot spring heat pump is developed to meet the needs of hot spring water heating. The heat exchanger adopts high-efficiency internally threaded tubes, and the heat transfer coefficient is more than twice that of the traditional shell and tube heat transfer coefficient. The seals are made of high temperature resistant materials, which can withstand high temperatures of 200°C and low temperatures of -20°C. It has multiple protections such as automatic constant temperature, automatic heating, automatic defrosting, compressor overcurrent protection, etc. The hot spring heat pump is used under special water quality (natural hot spring), which can effectively resist different degrees of acid and alkali and chloride ion corrosion; it can also set the outlet temperature according to the customer's actual water temperature requirements, up to 60 ℃, which is a high-quality hot spring water reheating choose.
Taking into account temperature and energy efficiency, AQUA creates an energy-saving, stable and safe hot spring heat pump system.
