[0068] It is understandable that the temperature control tube 500 can be cylindrical, serpentine, or S-shaped.

[0073] Specifically, the temperature-controlled medium storage chamber 150 is connected to the heating chamber 130 and the cooling chamber 140 via pipes, and the heating chamber 130 and the cooling chamber 140 are connected via pipes; the heating chamber 130 and the cooling chamber 140 are connected to a number of temperature-controlled valves 110 via pipes; and the number of temperature-controlled valves 110 are connected to the first liquid outlet chamber 0700 and the second liquid outlet chamber 0900 via pipes.

[0075] Understandably, the power pump 120 provides power for the input of the temperature-controlled medium.

[0076] Specifically, the temperature-controlled medium is heated to the upper limit temperature range through the heating chamber 130, the temperature control valve 110 is opened, and the heated temperature-controlled medium is pressurized and delivered to the first inlet chamber 600 by the power pump 120; the temperature-controlled medium is cooled to the lower limit temperature range through the cooling chamber 140, the temperature control valve 110 is opened, and the cooled temperature-controlled medium is pressurized and delivered to the second inlet chamber 800 by the power pump 120; the temperature of the temperature-controlled medium recovered in the first outlet chamber 700 is lower than the lowest temperature of the upper limit temperature range, and the temperature control valve 110 is opened to connect the pipe to the heating chamber 130; the temperature of the temperature-controlled medium recovered in the first outlet chamber 800 is within the upper limit temperature range, and the temperature control valve 110 is opened to connect the pipe to the power pump 120; the temperature of the temperature-controlled medium recovered in the second outlet chamber 900 is within the lower limit temperature range, and the temperature control valve 110 is opened to connect the pipe to the power pump 120.

The temperature control valve 110 opens the pipe connected to the temperature control valve 110. The temperature control module calculates the energy consumed to cool the current temperature to the maximum temperature of the lower limit temperature and the energy consumed to heat the current temperature to the minimum temperature of the upper limit temperature. The temperature control module rotates the valve according to the amount of energy consumed.

[0078] Understandably, the recycling of the temperature-controlled medium effectively avoids resource waste. By calculating the energy consumption through the temperature control module and selecting connecting pipelines, resource savings are maximized and resource utilization is improved while ensuring operational quality and efficiency.
