In order to prevent the deterioration of the natural environment and protect green mountains, clear waters, blue skies, and the sea, this involves prohibiting illegal logging, indiscriminate discharge of pollutants, overgrazing, excessive land reclamation, overexploitation of natural resources, and disruption of the ecological balance of nature. In urban life, in order to prevent the waste of resources, sewage needs to be recycled, filtered, cleaned, and reused to achieve the goal of saving resources.

[0022] The first heat exchange mechanism includes a second heat exchange unit 14. The second output end of the reverse osmosis unit 12 is connected to the first input end of the second heat exchange unit 14. The first output end of the second heat exchange unit 14 is connected to a first drain pipe. The second output end of the first heat exchange unit 13 is connected to a first output branch and a second output branch. The first output branch is connected to the second input end of the second heat exchange unit 14. The raw water flow rate at the first input end of the first heat exchange unit 13 is Q m³ / h, and the temperature is T1℃. The raw water flow rate at the first output end of the first heat exchange unit 13 is Q m³ / h, and the temperature is T2℃. The first output end of the reverse osmosis unit 12... The output end of the reverse osmosis unit 12 has a purified water flow rate of Q2 m³ / h and a temperature of T4℃.

[0024] When water treatment is required, raw water is supplied to the first heat exchange unit 13 through the first input terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13 via the preliminary treatment component, and heated by the heating component. Simultaneously, the reverse osmosis unit 12 supplies purified water to the first heat exchange unit 13 through the second input terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13 via its first output terminal, allowing heat exchange between the raw water and purified water. During this process, the temperature of the raw water inside the first heat exchange unit 13 increases, while the temperature of the purified water decreases. At the same time, the reverse osmosis unit 12 supplies concentrated water to the second heat exchange unit 14 through the first input terminal of the second heat exchange unit 14 via its second output terminal. The first heat exchange unit 13 supplies purified water to the second heat exchange unit 14 through the first output branch and the second input terminal of the second heat exchange unit 14. Internal heat exchange occurs, during which the temperature of the concentrate decreases, and it is then directly discharged through the first drain pipe. Subsequently, the purified water from the second output end of the second heat exchange unit 14 and the second branch enters the third heat exchange unit 15 through the second input end. The raw water from the first output end of the first heat exchange unit 13 enters the third heat exchange unit 15 through the first input end for heat exchange. The heated raw water then enters the ultrafiltration unit 11 through the first output end of the third heat exchange unit 15. After ultrafiltration in the ultrafiltration unit 11, the raw water enters the reverse osmosis unit 12 for reverse osmosis, thus forming a water circulation system. At the same time, the purified water cooled in the third heat exchange unit 15 is directly supplied to the user through the second drain pipe.
[0025] The ultrafiltration unit 11, reverse osmosis unit 12, first heat exchange unit 13, second heat exchange unit 14 and third heat exchange unit 15 are all equipped with pressure pumps at their input and output ends, which facilitates better liquid transfer during use.
[0026] The first heat exchange unit 13 and the second heat exchange unit 14 are one or more of plate heat exchangers and tubular heat exchangers. Different types of heat exchangers can be selected according to the usage requirements.
[0027] The third heat exchange unit 15 is one or more of the following: a coupler with added antifreeze ethylene glycol and a water source heat pump, or a coupler with added antifreeze ethylene glycol and an air source heat pump. The appropriate coupler can be selected based on the actual application.
[0028] The purified water flow rate Q2m³ / h at the second output end of the first heat exchange unit 13 is equal to the sum of the purified water flow rate Q1m³ / h at the first output branch and the purified water flow rate Q3m³ / h at the second output branch. The raw water flow rate Q at the output end of the ultrafiltration unit 11 is equal to the sum of the purified water flow rate Q2m³ / h at the first output end and the concentrated water flow rate Q4m³ / h at the second output end of the reverse osmosis unit 12. The purified water flow rate Q1m³ / h at the first output branch is equal to the concentrated water flow rate Q4m³ / h at the first input end of the second heat exchange unit 14.
[0029] The raw water temperature T2℃ at the first output terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13 is greater than the raw water temperature T1℃ at the first input terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13. The raw water temperature T2℃ at the first input terminal of the third heat exchange unit 15 is less than the raw water temperature T3℃ at the input terminal of the ultrafiltration unit 11. The purified water temperature T4℃ at the second input terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13 is greater than the purified water temperature T5℃ at the second output terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13. The purified water temperature T5℃ at the second input terminal of the second heat exchange unit 14 is less than the purified water temperature T6℃ at the second output terminal of the second heat exchange unit 14. The concentrated water temperature T4℃ at the first input terminal of the second heat exchange unit 14 is greater than the concentrated water temperature T9℃ at the first output terminal of the second heat exchange unit 14. The purified water temperature T7℃ at the second input terminal of the third heat exchange unit 15 is greater than the purified water temperature T8℃ at the output terminal of the third heat exchange unit 15.
[0030] The above embodiment discloses a constant temperature circulating water treatment system. When water treatment is required, raw water is transported to the first heat exchange unit 13 through the first input terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13 via a preliminary treatment component. The raw water is then heated to T1℃ by a heating component. Simultaneously, the reverse osmosis unit 12 delivers purified water to the first heat exchange unit 13 through the second input terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13 via its first output terminal, allowing heat exchange between the raw water and purified water. During this process, the temperature of the raw water inside the first heat exchange unit 13 rises to T2℃, while the temperature of the purified water decreases to T5℃. Simultaneously, the second output terminal of the reverse osmosis unit 12 delivers concentrated water to the second heat exchange unit 14 through the first input terminal of the second heat exchange unit 14. The second output terminal of the first heat exchange unit 13 delivers purified water through the first output branch and the second input branch of the second heat exchange unit 14. The water is delivered to the second heat exchange unit 14 for heat exchange. During this process, the concentrated water temperature drops to T9℃ and is then discharged directly through the first drain pipe. Subsequently, the purified water from the second output end and the second branch of the second heat exchange unit 14 enters the third heat exchange unit 15 through the second input end. The raw water from the first output end of the first heat exchange unit 13 enters the third heat exchange unit 15 through the first input end for heat exchange. After being heated to T3℃, the raw water enters the ultrafiltration unit 11 through the first output end of the third heat exchange unit 15. After ultrafiltration in the ultrafiltration unit 11, the raw water enters the reverse osmosis unit 12 for reverse osmosis, thus forming a water circulation system. At the same time, the purified water in the third heat exchange unit 15, cooled to T8℃, is directly supplied to the user through the second drain pipe.
