[0002] Existing water heaters achieve instant hot water output by setting up a water storage tank.

[0003] For example, patent document CN2715037Y discloses an energy-saving quasi-instantaneous electric water heater. The water heater mainly consists of an instantaneous electric water heater connected to a storage tank and a hot water pump. A one-way safety valve is sequentially connected to a one-way valve, a hot water pump, an instantaneous electric water heater, a storage tank, a mixing valve, and a shower head to form a water circuit. A heat recovery device is installed on the water circuit, which consists of a water receiving tray, a filter, a heat exchanger, and a three-way valve connected in series. The heat recovery device is connected between the one-way safety valve and the hot water pump.

[0004] For example, patent document CN109297180A discloses an intelligent preheating circulation gas water heater, a preheating circulation system and a control method. A water storage tank and a water pump are installed on the inlet pipe, a three-way valve is installed on the outlet pipe, and a heat exchanger is installed between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. The three-way valve and the water storage tank are connected through a bypass pipe. When the preheating circulation function is activated, the three-way valve is controlled to conduct through the bypass pipe. The inlet pipe, water pump, heat exchanger, outlet pipe, three-way valve, bypass pipe and water storage tank constitute an internal circulation pipeline system.

[0005] However, the water heaters described above are relatively large due to the inclusion of a water storage tank.
