The controller presets the water temperature threshold of entering the condenser 6 as 95°C and the water temperature threshold of discharging the condensed water as 93°C. The controller performs temperature comparison and judgment. If the water inlet temperature exceeds 95°C, the controller controls the first The solenoid valve 4 is disconnected and the first water pump 2 stops supplying water. After the water inlet temperature drops to 95°C, the controller controls the first solenoid valve 4 and the first water pump 2 to continue working. If the water outlet temperature exceeds 93°C, the controller controls the second solenoid valve 8 to disconnect and the first water pump 2 to stop supplying water. After the water outlet temperature drops to 93°C, the controller controls the second solenoid valve 8 and the first water pump 2 to continue working.
