Description
Technical Field

[0064] Low-temperature water enters the first water inlet pipe 110, and high-temperature water enters the second water inlet pipe 120. The high-temperature water and low-temperature water are mixed inside the mixing tank body 300 to form water at a specific temperature. The temperature is regulated by an electric butterfly valve to adjust the ratio of the water entering. If the temperature sensor feedback shows that the temperature is appropriate, the water is supplied to the end user by a water pump.
[0065] The mixing tank is simple to manufacture, made of seamless steel pipes, and is suitable for tight construction deadlines. The complete set of configurations effectively ensures product quality and reduces system costs.
