AI Technical Summary
Bacteria in the heating element of existing water purifiers are difficult to kill completely, resulting in excessive total bacterial count, especially at warm water temperatures of 45℃-55℃ where bacteria multiply rapidly.
The pasteurization process is combined with a heat exchanger, a circulating pump, and a radiator. The circulating pump transfers the high-temperature refrigerant from the heat exchanger to the radiator, and the fan impeller accelerates the dissipation of heat, achieving a cooling down to a safe temperature after high-temperature sterilization.
It effectively kills bacteria in the heating element, ensuring sterile water output, solving the problem of excessive bacteria, and achieving a sterile state for warm water.
