The steam boiler hot water system is widely used as a mature technology. The steam
boiler is such a thermal equipment that uses and transfers the heat released after fuel
combustion or the waste heat from industrial production to the water to make the water
reach the required temperature or steam at a certain pressure. After the water enters the
boiler, the heating surface of the boiler transfers the absorbed heat to the water in the
steam-water system. And then the water is heated to hot water with a certain temperature
and pressure or is heated to generate steam, which is then led out for application.
However, with the updating of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
equipment technology, the air source heat pump water heater, as a new type of hot water
equipment, has an increasing market share, and its hot water production efficiency is 3 to
4 times that of conventional steam boilers. Therefore, it is widely used in existing
building energy-saving renovation.
Although the existing steam boiler can ensure the safety of hot water supply, it has the
following shortcomings: 1. The steam boiler system has low efficiency and high energy
consumption. And there is still a lack of efficient energy consumption monitoring
platform. 2. Boiler water treatment is required which increases the cost of water
treatment. 3. Pollution discharge and smoke exhaust of steam boiler pollute the environment. 4. The current hot water control management is characterized by a large number of monitoring points, scattered distribution, and wide area, which are generally installed on the floor. At present, manual inspections are commonly used. On the one hand, manpower is wasted. The hot water supply manager inspects the temperature and water level of all hot water supply tanks more than 5 times a day; on the other hand, it is difficult for operators to find hidden dangers of accidents.

raise the liquid level to the lowest liquid level VL, and if the actual liquid level V is
greater than or equal to the lowest liquid level VL, the time-of-use electricity price
judgment is performed;

the time-of-use electricity price at this time is a valley period, determine whether the
actual temperature T of the water in the thermal insulation water tank 11 measured by the
temperature sensor is greater than or equal to the standard water supply temperature TZ,
if the actual temperature T is greater than or equal to the standard water supply
temperature TZ, the direct heating mode is used to raise the liquid level to the highest

supply temperature TL and less than the standard water supply temperature TZ. If the actual temperature T is greater than or equal to the minimum water supply temperature
TL and less than the standard water supply temperature TZ, judge whether the actual
liquid level V is greater than or equal to the maximum liquid level VH.
If the actual liquid level V is greater than or equal to the maximum liquid level VH,
heating is carried out in a circulation mode to increase the temperature to the standard
water supply temperature TZ. If the actual liquid level V is less than the maximum liquid
level VH, the direct heating mode is used to raise the liquid level to the maximum liquid
level VH. If the actual temperature T is less than the minimum water supply temperature
TL, judge whether the actual liquid level V is greater than or equal to the maximum
liquid level VH. If the actual liquid level V is greater than or equal to the maximum
liquid level VH, the circulation mode is used to increase the temperature to the standard
water supply temperature TZ. If the actual liquid level V is less than the maximum liquid
level VH, the direct heating mode is used to increase the liquid level to the maximum
liquid level VH , and the temperature is rised to the standard water supply temperature
TZ. If the time-of-use electricity price at this time is not in the valley period, continue to
judge the time-of-use electricity price;
3) Judge whether the time-of-use electricity price at this time is a flat time period. If the
time-of-use electricity price at this time is a flat time period, determine whether the actual
temperature T is less than the minimum water supply temperature TL. If the actual
temperature T is less than the minimum water supply temperature TL, the temperature is
raised to the minimum water supply temperature TL in the circulation mode. If the actual
temperature T is greater than or equal to the minimum water supply temperature TL,
determine whether the actual temperature T is less than the standard water supply temperature TZ. If the actual temperature T is less than the standard water supply temperature TZ, judge whether the actual liquid level V is less than the intermediate liquid level VM. If the actual liquid level V is less than the intermediate liquid level VM, the direct heating mode is used to raise the liquid level to the intermediate liquid level
VM. If the actual liquid level V is greater than or equal to the intermediate liquid level
VM, it will enter the standby mode. If the actual temperature T is greater than or equal to
the standard water supply temperature TZ, it will enter the standby mode. If the time-of
use electricity price at this time is not the normal period, the time-of-use electricity price
is determined as the peak period.
4) If the time-of-use electricity price at this time is the peak period, judge whether the
actual temperature T is less than the minimum water supply temperature TL. If the actual
temperature T is less than the minimum water supply temperature TL, the temperature is
raised to the minimum water supply temperature TL in the circulation mode, and if the
actual temperature T is greater than or equal to the minimum water supply temperature
TL, it enters standby;
