With the improvement of the quality of life, the demand for hot water in households is becoming increasingly diversified, such as the need for hot water supply, heating, and special water tank heating. Traditional systems are inefficient in the face of multiple demand scenarios, energy distribution is uneven, and cannot meet personalized needs.
