[0023] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: the methanol-powered environmental regulation system includes: a hot water supply component, a cold water supply component, an environmental heat exchanger, a water curtain component and a fan component; the hot water supply component includes a combustion and heating module; the combustion and heating module is connected to the cold water supply component, and is used to heat the cold water flowing into the hot water supply component from the cold water supply component; the water curtain component is arranged at the air inlet of the target room, and is respectively connected to the cold water supply component and the hot water supply component, and is used to generate a cold water curtain or a hot water curtain; a fan component is arranged on the side of the water curtain component facing the target room, and an environmental heat exchanger is arranged on the air outlet side of the fan component, and the environmental heat exchanger is connected to the hot water supply component.

[0025] In the existing technology, most farms currently rely on a variety of single-function devices to maintain environmental temperature and humidity, such as heaters for increasing temperature, coolers for lowering temperature, humidifiers for increasing humidity, etc. These devices often operate independently and lack a unified control system and coordination mechanism, resulting in decentralized functions, complicated operation and maintenance. That is, the existing environmental adjustment system is not easy to use.

[0026] The present application provides a solution, which realizes hot water supply for the hot water supply module through the fuel combustion of the fuel heating module. Therefore, with the help of the combination of the hot water supply component, the cold water supply component, the environmental heat exchanger, the water curtain component and the fan component, the temperature and humidity in the target house can be regulated. Compared with the existing method that relies on a variety of single-function devices, the methanol-powered environmental regulation system of the present application is more convenient to use for temperature and humidity regulation. In addition, the present application does not require high-power electrical appliances, which can not only greatly reduce the dependence on electric energy, but also effectively reduce operating costs.

[0027] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides an environmental regulation system powered by methanol, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the methanol-powered environmental conditioning system of the present application.

[0028] This embodiment provides a methanol-powered environment regulation system, which includes: a hot water supply component 10, a cold water supply component 20, an environmental heat exchanger 30, a water curtain component 40 and a fan component 50; the hot water supply component 10 includes a combustion heating module 11; The combustion and heating module 11 is connected to the cold water supply assembly 20 and is used to heat the cold water flowing from the cold water supply assembly 20 into the hot water supply assembly 10; The water curtain assembly 40 is disposed at the air inlet of the target room and is connected to the cold water supply assembly 20 and the hot water supply assembly 10 respectively, and is used to generate a cold water curtain or a hot water curtain; A fan assembly 50 is disposed on the side of the water curtain assembly 40 facing the target room, and an environmental heat exchanger 30 is disposed on the air outlet side of the fan assembly 50 . The environmental heat exchanger 30 is connected to the hot water supply assembly 10 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the methanol-powered environmental conditioning system includes: a hot water supply component 10, a cold water supply component 20, an environmental heat exchanger 30, a water curtain component 40 and a fan component 50; the hot water supply component 10 includes a combustion heating module 11. The hot water supply component 10 is used to provide hot water, and the cold water supply component 20 is used to provide cold water.

[0030] The hot water supply assembly 10 includes a combustion heating module 11; the combustion heating module 11 is connected to the cold water supply assembly 20, and is used to heat the cold water flowing into the hot water supply assembly 10 from the cold water supply assembly 20; therefore, in this embodiment, after the hot water supply assembly 10 and the cold water supply assembly 20 are connected, the cold water of the cold water supply assembly 20 flows into the combustion heating module 11 in the hot water supply assembly 10, and the combustion heating module 11 can heat the cold water flowing into the cold water supply assembly 20 to obtain hot water. It can be understood that the combustion heating module 11 can use gas fuel, liquid fuel, solid fuel and other fuels for combustion to heat the cold water flowing into the cold water supply assembly 20.

[0031] The water curtain assembly 40 is arranged at the air inlet of the target room, and is connected to the cold water supply assembly 20 and the hot water supply assembly 10 respectively, and is used to generate a cold water curtain or a hot water curtain. A fan assembly 50 is arranged on the side of the water curtain assembly 40 facing the target room. In this embodiment, when cooling is required, the water curtain assembly 40 can be controlled to be connected with the cold water supply assembly 20, so that the water curtain assembly 40 generates a cold water curtain. When the fan assembly 50 is running, the air on the air inlet side of the fan assembly 50 passes through the cold water curtain, and absorbs the heat in the air by evaporating the water of the cold water curtain, so that the fan assembly 50 blows cold air into the target room, and reduces the temperature in the target room. When the humidity needs to be increased, the water curtain assembly 40 can be controlled to be connected with the hot water supply assembly 10, and the water curtain assembly 40 generates a hot water curtain. When the fan assembly 50 is running, the air inlet side of the fan assembly 50 inhales the water vapor emitted by the hot water curtain, so that the fan assembly 50 blows moisture into the target room, and increases the humidity in the target room. In addition, an environmental heat exchanger 30 is provided on the air outlet side of the fan assembly 50, and the environmental heat exchanger 30 is connected to the hot water supply assembly 10. Therefore, when the temperature needs to be increased, the environmental heat exchanger 30 can be controlled to be connected to the hot water supply assembly 10. When the fan assembly 50 is running, the air outlet of the fan assembly 50 is heated by the environmental heat exchanger 30, and the hot air is blown into the target room to increase the temperature in the target room.

[0032] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the combustion and heating module 11 includes a methanol combustion module 111 and a first heat exchanger 112 disposed on the methanol combustion module 111: The hot water supply assembly 10 further includes a hot water tank 12 and a hot water pump 13 which are connected in sequence, the hot water tank 12 is connected to the cold water supply assembly 20, and the hot water pump 13 is connected to the first heat exchanger 112; The methanol combustion module 111 is used to burn methanol fuel to transfer the heat generated by the combustion to the first heat exchanger 112 .

[0033] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the combustion heating module 11 uses a methanol combustion module 111 as a heat source. Of course, a fuel combustion module, a coal combustion module, etc. may also be used as a heat source.

[0034] In this embodiment, the combustion and heating module 11 includes a methanol combustion module 111 and a first heat exchanger 112 disposed on the methanol combustion module 111. The hot water supply assembly 10 also includes a hot water tank 12 and a hot water pump 13 connected in sequence, the hot water tank 12 is connected to the cold water supply assembly 20, and the hot water pump 13 is connected to the first heat exchanger 112. Thus, the hot water tank 12 is used to store hot water, and the hot water pump 13 is used to pump the water in the hot water tank 12 to the first heat exchanger 112. The methanol combustion module 111 is used to burn methanol fuel to transfer the heat generated by the combustion to the first heat exchanger 112, so that the first heat exchanger 112 heats the water flowing through the first heat exchanger 112.

[0035] In some embodiments, the methanol combustion module 111 includes: a methanol fuel tank 1111, a methanol pump 1112 and a methanol burner 1113 connected in sequence, and the methanol burner 1113 is provided with a first heat exchanger 112; A methanol pump 1112 is used to pump the methanol fuel in the methanol fuel tank 1111 to the methanol burner 1113; The methanol burner 1113 is used to ignite the methanol fuel to transfer the heat generated by burning the methanol fuel to the first heat exchanger 112 .

[0036] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to heat the cold water flowing from the cold water supply component 20 into the hot water supply component 10, the methanol combustion module 111 can be controlled to operate. The methanol fuel tank 1111, the methanol pump 1112 and the methanol burner 1113 are connected in sequence, and the first heat exchanger 112 is arranged on the methanol burner 1113. The methanol fuel tank 1111 is used to store methanol fuel, and then the methanol pump 1112 pumps the methanol fuel in the methanol fuel tank 1111 to the methanol burner 1113, and the methanol burner 1113 ignites the methanol fuel to transfer the heat generated by burning the methanol fuel to the first heat exchanger 112.

[0037] In some embodiments, the combustion and heating component 11 further includes: a second heat exchanger 113, which is disposed on the flue of the methanol combustion module 111 and is connected to the first heat exchanger 112 and the hot water pump 13 respectively.

[0038] Thus, the hot water pump 13 pumps the water in the hot water tank 12 to the front of the first heat exchanger 112 , and when the water flows through the second heat exchanger 113 , it is heated by the waste heat of the flue of the methanol combustion module 111 , which can effectively improve the heating efficiency of the hot water supply component 10 .

[0039] In some embodiments, the environment heat exchanger 30 is connected to the first heat exchanger 112 and the hot water tank 12 respectively.

[0040] Thus, a complete hot water cycle is formed between the hot water tank 12, the hot water pump 13, the second heat exchanger 113, the first heat exchanger 112 and the ambient heat exchanger 30, so that when it is necessary to heat the target room, the hot water can be ensured to be within this cycle, thereby achieving continuous heating of the target room.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cold water supply assembly 20 includes a cold water source 21 and a cold water tank 22 connected in sequence, and the cold water tank 22 is connected to the hot water tank 12 through a first valve F1.

[0042] Thus, when the current water level of the cold water tank 22 is lower than the first water level, the cold water source 21 (such as tap water) is controlled to be connected to the cold water tank 22, and sufficient water is injected into the cold water tank 22. When the current water level of the hot water tank 12 is lower than the second water level, the first valve F1 is opened to connect the cold water tank 22 with the hot water tank 12, and sufficient water is injected into the hot water tank 12.

[0043] In some embodiments, the water curtain assembly 40 includes a water curtain heat exchanger 41 and a water curtain water collector 42; The water curtain heat exchanger 41 is connected to the first heat exchanger 112 in the hot water supply assembly 10 and the cold water supply assembly 20 respectively; The water curtain collector 42 is connected to the cold water supply assembly 20 .

[0044] Therefore, in this embodiment, a hot water curtain can be generated by controlling the water curtain heat exchanger 41 to be connected to the first heat exchanger 112 in the hot water supply component 10. A cold water curtain can be generated by controlling the water curtain heat exchanger 41 to be connected to the cold water supply component 20. The water curtain water collector 42 is connected to the cold water supply component 20, and the water in the water curtain component 40 is returned to the cold water supply component 20, so as to avoid flowing in the target room and causing excessive humidity, and also avoid waste of water resources.

[0045] The first embodiment of the present application provides an environmental regulation system powered by methanol, and the environmental regulation system powered by methanol includes: a hot water supply component, a cold water supply component, an environmental heat exchanger, a water curtain component and a fan component. The hot water supply component includes a combustion heating module, and the combustion heating module is connected to the cold water supply component, and is used to heat the cold water flowing into the hot water supply component from the cold water supply component. Thus, this embodiment can realize the supply of hot water through fuel combustion. The water curtain component is arranged at the air inlet of the target room, and is respectively connected to the cold water supply component and the hot water supply component, and is used to generate a cold water curtain or a hot water curtain, and a fan component is arranged on the side of the water curtain component facing the target room. Thus, a cold water curtain is generated in the water curtain component, and when the fan component is running, the air on the air inlet side of the fan component passes through the cold water curtain, and absorbs the heat in the air by evaporating the water of the cold water curtain, so that the fan component blows cold air into the target room and reduces the temperature in the target room. When the water curtain assembly generates a hot water curtain, and the fan assembly is running, the air inlet side of the fan assembly inhales the water vapor emitted by the hot water curtain, so that the fan assembly blows moisture into the target room and increases the humidity in the target room. An environmental heat exchanger is provided on the air outlet side of the fan assembly, and the environmental heat exchanger is connected to the hot water supply assembly. Therefore, when the environmental heat exchanger is connected to the hot water supply assembly, when the fan assembly is running, the air outlet of the fan assembly is heated by the environmental heat exchanger, and the hot air is blown into the target room to increase the temperature in the target room. Therefore, this embodiment realizes hot water supply for the hot water supply module through the fuel combustion of the fuel heating module. Therefore, with the help of the combination of the hot water supply assembly, the cold water supply assembly, the environmental heat exchanger, the water curtain assembly and the fan assembly, the temperature and humidity can be controlled for the target room. Compared with the existing method that relies on a variety of single-function devices, the methanol-powered environmental regulation system of this embodiment is more convenient to use for temperature and humidity regulation. In addition, this embodiment does not require high-power electrical appliances, which can not only greatly reduce the dependence on electric energy, but also effectively reduce the operating cost.

[0046] Based on this, the present application embodiment provides a method for controlling a methanol powered environment conditioning system, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of a control method for a methanol-powered environmental conditioning system of the present application.

[0047] In this embodiment, the control method of the methanol-powered environment conditioning system is applied to the methanol-powered environment conditioning system as described above, and includes steps S10 to S40: Step S10, receiving a temperature control instruction for a target room; Step S20, in response to the temperature control instruction, controlling the water curtain assembly and the cold water supply assembly to be connected to generate a cold water curtain, so that the fan assembly blows cold air into the target room; Alternatively, the hot water supply component is controlled to be connected to the environmental heat exchanger so that the fan component blows hot air into the target room through the environmental heat exchanger.

[0048] It should be noted that the temperature control instruction can be an instruction issued by the user for adjusting the temperature, or it can be an instruction for adjusting the temperature triggered by a preset temperature trigger condition, such as the temperature difference between the current temperature and the preset temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold.

[0049] It should also be noted that the conduction between the components in this embodiment can be achieved by opening the valves connecting the components.

[0050] After receiving the temperature control instruction for the target room, this embodiment can respond to the temperature control instruction and determine whether the temperature control instruction is a temperature increase instruction or a temperature decrease instruction. If the temperature control instruction is a temperature decrease instruction, the water curtain assembly and the cold water supply assembly can be controlled to be connected to generate a cold water curtain. The air on the air inlet side of the fan assembly passes through the cold water curtain, and the heat in the air is absorbed by the evaporation of the water in the cold water curtain, so that the fan assembly blows cold air into the target room to reduce the temperature in the target room. If the temperature control instruction is a temperature increase instruction, the hot water supply assembly and the environmental heat exchanger can be controlled to be connected. When the fan assembly is running, the air outlet of the fan assembly is heated by the environmental heat exchanger, and the hot air is blown into the target room to increase the temperature in the target room. Therefore, this embodiment receives a temperature control instruction for a target room; in response to the temperature control instruction, controls the water curtain assembly and the cold water supply assembly to be connected to generate a cold water curtain, so that the fan assembly blows cold air into the target room; or controls the hot water supply assembly and the environment heat exchanger to be connected to make the fan assembly blow hot air into the target room through the environment heat exchanger. Thus, the temperature of the target room is controlled.

[0051] In a feasible embodiment, before the step of controlling the hot water supply component and the environmental heat exchanger to be connected so that the fan component blows hot air into the target room through the environmental heat exchanger in step S20, the method includes: Step S21, obtaining the real-time water temperature of the hot water supply component; Step S22, after the real-time water temperature is lower than the predetermined water temperature threshold, control the combustion and heating module to operate so as to heat the cold water flowing from the cold water supply component to the hot water supply component.

[0052] It should be noted that the predetermined water temperature threshold is a preset water temperature that needs to be maintained by the hot water supply component.

[0053] During the operation of the system, the present embodiment obtains the real-time water temperature of the hot water supply component; when the real-time water temperature is lower than the predetermined water temperature threshold, it indicates that the hot water in the hot water supply component is difficult to meet the temperature and humidity control requirements for the target room, and the combustion and heating module can be controlled to operate to heat the cold water flowing into the hot water supply component from the cold water supply component until the real-time room temperature reaches the predetermined heating stop temperature (such as 75°C, 80°C, 90°C, etc.), and then the combustion and heating module is turned off.

[0054] In a feasible embodiment, the control method of the methanol powered environment conditioning system further includes: Step S30, receiving a humidity control instruction for a target room; Step S40, in response to the humidity control instruction, controlling the conduction between the water curtain assembly and the hot water supply assembly to generate a hot water curtain, so that the fan assembly blows water vapor into the target room.

[0055] It should be noted that the humidity control instruction can be an instruction issued by the user to increase the temperature, or it can be an instruction for increasing the humidity triggered by a preset humidity trigger condition, such as the humidity difference between the current humidity and the preset humidity is less than a preset humidity threshold.

[0056] After receiving the humidity control instruction for the target room, this embodiment can respond to the humidity control instruction and control the conduction between the water curtain component and the hot water supply component to generate a hot water curtain, so that the fan component blows water vapor into the target room, thereby increasing the humidity in the target room.

[0057] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a methanol-powered environmental conditioning system, which receives a temperature control instruction for a target room; in response to the temperature control instruction, controls the connection between the water curtain assembly and the cold water supply assembly to generate a cold water curtain, so that the fan assembly blows cold air into the target room; or controls the connection between the hot water supply assembly and the environmental heat exchanger, so that the fan assembly blows hot air into the target room through the environmental heat exchanger. In addition, a humidity control instruction for the target room can also be received; in response to the humidity control instruction, controls the connection between the water curtain assembly and the hot water supply assembly to generate a hot water curtain, so that the fan assembly blows water vapor into the target room. Thus, in this embodiment, a cold water curtain is generated by the water curtain assembly, so that the fan assembly blows cold air into the target room; the environmental heat exchanger is heated by hot water, so that the fan assembly blows hot air into the target room through the environmental heat exchanger; and a hot water curtain is generated by the water curtain assembly, so that the fan assembly blows water vapor into the target room. Thus, this embodiment realizes the temperature and humidity regulation of the target room. Compared with the existing method that relies on multiple single-function devices, the methanol-powered environment regulation system of this embodiment is more convenient to use for temperature and humidity regulation. In addition, this embodiment does not require high-power electrical appliances, which can not only greatly reduce the dependence on electricity, but also effectively reduce the operating cost.

[0058] In addition, as an example of a methanol powered environment conditioning system in a feasible embodiment of the present application, see Figure 5 , this embodiment provides a feasible embodiment of a methanol-powered environmental conditioning system.

[0059] The methanol fuel in the methanol tank is pressurized by the methanol pump and then sent to the methanol burner. The heat generated by the combustion is transferred to the circulating hot water through the first heat exchanger. The flue gas generated by the combustion is cooled by the waste heat of the second heat exchanger and then discharged to the outside. The methanol tank can be provided with a first liquid level sensor for detecting the methanol liquid level. The methanol burner can be provided with a first temperature sensor for monitoring the internal temperature of the methanol burner. A main valve F0 is provided at the connection between the cold water source and the cold water tank to control the liquid replenishment of the cold water tank. A first valve F1 is provided at the connection between the cold water tank and the hot water tank to control the liquid replenishment of the hot water tank. A second liquid level sensor and a second temperature sensor can be provided at the cold water tank to detect the liquid level and temperature of the cold water tank. A third liquid level sensor and a third temperature sensor can be provided at the hot water tank to detect the liquid level and temperature of the hot water tank. The water in the cold water tank is pressurized by the cold water pump, and can enter the water curtain heat exchanger after passing through the second valve F2, and return to the cold water tank after passing through the water curtain water collector and the filter. The water curtain heat exchanger (with a cover plate on the top, a water curtain water collector at the bottom, and honeycomb air inlets on the back, left, and right) is set at the air inlet of the target room. It relies on the water curtain (also called wet curtain or water curtain) as a medium to absorb heat in the air through water evaporation to achieve convective air cooling. At the same time, the water curtain heat exchanger has the function of air purification. The water in the hot water tank enters the first heat exchanger after being pressurized by the hot water pump and preheated by the second heat exchanger. After being heated by the first heat exchanger, it is divided into three paths: one path returns to the hot water tank; one path enters the water curtain heat exchanger after passing through the third valve F3, and enters the cold water tank after passing through the water curtain water collector and filter; the other path enters the environmental heat exchanger after passing through the fourth valve F4, and flows into the hot water tank after cooling. The environmental heat exchanger can be an air-cooled heat exchanger. A fan assembly is set in the internal space of the water curtain heat exchanger. The air at the air inlet reaches the air outlet after passing through the water curtain, fan assembly, and environmental heat exchanger, and enters the target room.

[0060] The first scenario is the scenario of heating cold water. After receiving the hot water supply instruction, each valve is reset to the closed state. Before starting, the liquid levels of the cold water tank and the hot water tank are detected. If the liquid level of the hot water tank is lower than the predetermined high level of hot water, the first valve F1 is opened to replenish the hot water tank. If the liquid level of the hot water tank is not lower than the predetermined high level of hot water, the first valve F1 is closed. If the liquid level of the cold water tank is lower than the predetermined high level of cold water, the main valve F0 is opened to replenish the cold water tank, and the liquid level of the hot water tank is detected. If the liquid level of the hot water tank is higher than the predetermined high level of hot water, the first valve F1 is closed to complete the replenishment. Turn on the blower to introduce sufficient air into the methanol burner and blow the flue gas into the exhaust pipeline. Turn on the hot water pump to realize the water circulation of the hot water tank, the hot water pump, the second heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger, and the hot water tank. Turn on the methanol pump to transport methanol fuel to the methanol burner. The methanol burner performs an ignition operation, wherein a sensor (such as a photosensor) can be used to detect whether the methanol burner is successfully ignited: if the methanol burner is not successfully ignited, the ignition operation is performed again; if the methanol burner is successfully ignited, it is determined whether the combustion temperature T3 of the methanol burner is higher than the burner set temperature. If the combustion temperature T3 is lower than the burner set temperature, the step of detecting whether the methanol burner is successfully ignited is performed. If the combustion temperature T3 is not lower than the burner set temperature, it is determined whether the hot water temperature T2 of the hot water tank is higher than the hot water set temperature. If the hot water temperature T2 is lower than the hot water set temperature, the step of detecting whether the methanol burner is successfully ignited is performed. If the hot water temperature T2 is not lower than the hot water set temperature, the methanol pump, the hot water pump and the blower are turned off, and the liquid level of the hot water tank is detected to achieve a closed loop of hot water supply control.

[0061] The second scenario is to blow cold air into the target room. After receiving the cooling command in the temperature control command, each valve is reset to the closed state. Before starting up, check the liquid level in the cold water tank. If the liquid level in the cold water tank is lower than the preset high cold water level, open the main valve F0 to refill the cold water tank. If the liquid level in the cold water tank is not lower than the preset high cold water level, close the main valve F0 to complete the refilling. Open the cold water pump and the second valve F2 to realize the water circulation of the cold water tank, cold water pump, water curtain heat exchanger, water curtain water collector and filter. Turn on the fan assembly and realize the cold air function in combination with the water curtain heat exchanger. Furthermore, to ensure that the cold water temperature in the cold water tank is lower than the ambient temperature, the following operations can be performed: if the cold water temperature T1 of the cold water tank is higher than the ambient temperature T0 and the liquid level in the hot water tank is lower than the predetermined high hot water level, the first valve F1 is opened until the liquid level in the hot water tank is not lower than the predetermined high hot water level; if the hot water tank is not lower than the predetermined high hot water level, the first valve F1 is closed to drain the water curtain return water in the water curtain water collector to prevent the water curtain return water with a relatively high temperature from returning to the cold water tank. If the ambient temperature T0 is lower than the set temperature, the fan assembly, the second valve F2 and the cold water pump can be turned off, and the process returns to the step of detecting the liquid level in the cold water tank to achieve closed-loop control of blowing cold air in the cooling scenario.

[0062] The third scenario is a scenario of blowing hot air into the target room. After receiving the temperature increase command in the temperature control command, each valve is reset to the closed state. Before starting up, the liquid levels of the cold water tank and the hot water tank are detected and replenished. Turn on the blower to introduce sufficient air into the methanol burner and blow the flue gas into the exhaust pipe. Turn on the hot water pump to realize the water circulation of the hot water tank, the hot water pump, the second heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger, and the hot water tank. Turn on the methanol pump to transport methanol fuel to the methanol burner. Open the fourth valve F4 and the fan assembly, and control the methanol burner to perform the ignition operation and judge the hot water temperature in the hot water tank. For detailed operations, refer to the first scenario. If the hot water temperature T2 is not less than the hot water set temperature, turn off the methanol pump and the blower, and after the ambient temperature is greater than the set temperature, turn off the fan assembly, the fourth valve F4, and the hot water pump. And issue a temperature increase command after the ambient temperature is not greater than the set temperature. A closed-loop control of blowing hot air in the temperature increase scenario is realized.

[0063] The third scenario is the scenario of indoor humidification in the target house. After receiving the humidification instruction in the humidity control instruction, each valve is reset to the closed state. Before starting up, the liquid level of the cold water tank and the hot water tank is detected and replenished. Turn on the blower to introduce sufficient air into the methanol burner and blow the flue gas into the exhaust pipe. Turn on the hot water pump to realize the water circulation of the hot water tank, the hot water pump, the second heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger, and the hot water tank. Turn on the methanol pump to transport methanol fuel to the methanol burner. Open the fourth valve F4, the fan assembly, the second valve F2 and the third valve F3, and control the methanol burner to perform the ignition operation and judge the hot water temperature in the hot water tank. For detailed operations, refer to the first scenario. If the hot water temperature T2 is not less than the set temperature of the hot water, turn off the methanol pump and the blower, and close the fourth valve F4 after the ambient temperature is greater than the set temperature. When the ambient humidity is greater than the set humidity, the second valve F2, the third valve F3, the cold water pump, the hot water pump and the fan assembly are closed. Therefore, this embodiment can also adjust the water temperature entering the water curtain heat exchanger by means of the opening of the second valve F2 and the third valve F3.
