[0018] Working principle: Start the equipment through the control system, and the hot water barrel heats the water in the barrel according to the set temperature. After heating to the set temperature, open the mixed aroma hot water valve and the hot water booster pump, and the hot water enters the interlayer between the mixed aroma cylinder and the mixed aroma liner through the mixed aroma hot water inlet. After filling the interlayer, the hot water flows back to the hot water barrel through the mixed aroma hot water reflux port, and the heat is transferred to the mixed aroma liner through repeated cycles.
