[0032] The hot water well 1 and condenser 6 are the RH process equipment area. The water to be condensed and filtered is stored in the hot water well 1. The water pumped from the hot water well 1 enters the filter 4 through the filter water supply pipe a for filtration. After filtration, it enters the cooling tower through the filtered water outlet pipe b for cooling.

[0033] The cooled water is sent to the circulating water pool 2 through the pipeline, and the high-pressure water pump 7 sends the water in the circulating water pool 2 to the condenser 6 to complete the treatment of the RH water.

It then issues control signals to the equipment to filter 4 and cool the water in cooling tower 3. It also determines whether water meets requirements based on water supply pipe data from transmitter 12, flowmeter 13, and thermal resistor 14 on the pipe between high-pressure water pump 7 and condenser 6.
