A pneumatic diaphragm regulating valve 12 is installed in the cold water inlet pipe 8, and a temperature sensor 13 is installed in the hot water outlet pipe 9. An air inlet 10 is provided at the bottom of the shell and tube heat exchanger 7, and an air outlet 11 is provided at the top of the shell and tube heat exchanger 7. When in use, the flash steam is discharged from the flash steam pipe 3 of the high-temperature condensed water tank 2, and the air inlet 11 is provided at the top of the shell and tube heat exchanger 7. The tube side of the shell and tube heat exchanger 7 entering the heat exchange device 6 exchanges heat with the production water.
