This application relates to a composite
hot water supply system and control method. The composite
hot water supply system includes a
heat pump unit, a photovoltaic heating device, an
electric heating device, a heated water tank, an insulated water tank, a
water supply terminal, and a control component, all connected via a
piping assembly. The
heat pump unit and the photovoltaic heating device are connected in parallel and then in series with the
electric heating device. A first series
branch in the
piping assembly is connected to the outlet of the
heat pump unit and the inlet of the photovoltaic heating device, respectively. A second series
branch is connected to the outlet of the photovoltaic heating device and the inlet of the heat pump unit, respectively. The control component controls the flow direction of water within the
piping assembly. The composite
hot water supply system provided by this application, through the switching of the connection states of the heat pump unit, photovoltaic heating device, and
electric heating device by the control component, can switch to the optimal operating mode according to the operating conditions, ensuring hot
water demand while maximizing energy utilization and reducing the
energy consumption of the composite hot
water supply system.
