Between change the second information, function of the coolant-temperature gage generally noted above with regard to the time.3rd sensor 40 is used to detect water inlet end 11
Inflow temperature.Heater 50 is used for the retaining in heating water tank 10 to supply user's hot water.Controller 60 and first sensor
20th, second sensor 30,3rd sensor 40 and heater 50 connect, for according to the first information, the second information and water inlet
Thermal loss caused by the water outlet of temperature computation water tank 10, and heating-up temperature is calculated according to thermal loss.
Because the water outlet of water side 13 is retaining outflow, leaving water temperature namely retaining temperature.Please join Fig. 1, in some enforcements
In mode, second sensor 30 includes temperature-sensing pipe, is arranged in water tank 10, and the retaining temperature for measuring is leaving water temperature.Additionally,
Second sensor 30 is connected with controller 60, when controller 60 is heated according to heating-up temperature to retaining, by the anti-of leaving water temperature
Present to judge whether to reach heating-up temperature.It is same thus, when controller 60 is by second sensor 30 come under keeping warm mode
It is retaining temperature to carve monitoring leaving water temperature.Heater 50 can be magnesium rod, and retaining is heated.Water side 13 includes and water
The outlet pipe of the connection of case 10.
Thermal loss is that the water used up of user is heated resulting energy, after heating in other words with heating before energy difference
Value.Energy loss can represent the amount that the whole water utilizing process of user is consumed, thus can by suitable algorithm according to
Energy loss obtains the heating-up temperature of electric heater 100.Controller 60 is according to the feed-tank 10 of heating and temperature control heater 50
Interior retaining heating.
Traditional electric heater 100 often presets too high heating-up temperature, and one side user cannots be used up so much hot water,
Cause to waste electric energy, on the other hand when user is without water, too high water temperature causes radiating to increase and wastes electric energy.It is of the invention real
The electric heater 100 for applying mode sets suitable heating-up temperature according to the water habits of user, can meet client's to reach
Avoid heating-up temperature too high simultaneously with coolant-temperature gage demand and waste the effect of electric energy.
In some embodiments, the first information includes function of the water flow with regard to the time, and the second packet includes water
Function of the temperature with regard to the time.Calculate thermal loss during, inflow temperature t2 be the temperature of cold water be it is substantially invariable,
But due to user's water, water inlet end 11 has cold water to supplement inlet water tank 10, causes retaining to be lowered the temperature, so that water side 13 goes out
Coolant-temperature gage is time dependent, and in addition water flow, because of the artificial regulatory of user, is also time dependent.Therefore can not letter
Alone (t1-t2) fTCWaterTo calculate, and calculated with the method for integration.Wherein t1 is leaving water temperature, and t2 is into water temperature
Degree, f is water flow, and T is to use water time, CWaterFor the specific heat capacity of water.
In some embodiments, controller 60 includes programmable logic controller (PLC), it is programmed above-mentioned to calculate
Integral operation.By repeatedly calculating thermal loss, it is estimated that user is general every time to use water consume energy, so as to calculate conjunction
Suitable heating-up temperature, can meet the water demand of user, does not produce excessive hot water and wastes electric energy as far as possible again.
For example, by integral operation draw each use water consume of user can i.e. thermal loss Q be about 1kWh, the use of user
Coolant-temperature gage is 40 DEG C, and inflow temperature is 20 DEG C, and the capacity of water tank 10 is 60L, i.e. retaining 60kg.Heat during user's water is ignored
In the case that device 50 is heated, needed the calculating process of heating-up temperature t for being heated to retaining as follows before user's water：
(t-40℃)MWater×CWater=Q
I.e.：(t-40℃)60×4.2×103=1 × 3.6 × 106
：t≈54.3℃
If consider heating of the electric heater 100 in user's water utilizing process, it is assumed that the highest of electric heater 100 adds hot merit
Rate P is 2000W, and each use water time T of user is about 10 minutes i.e. 600 second, needed to be heated to retaining before user's water
Heating-up temperature t ' calculating process it is as follows：
(t’-40℃)MWater×CWater+ T × P=Q
I.e.：(t’-40℃)60×4.2×103+ 600 × 3000=1 × 3.6 × 106
：t’≈47.1℃
If that is, not considering heating of the electric heater 100 in user's water utilizing process, heating-up temperature is arranged on
More than 54.3 DEG C, it is possible to meet the water demand generally of client；If considering, electric heater 100 uses water mistake in user
Heating in journey, heating-up temperature is arranged on more than 47.1 DEG C, it is possible to meet the water demand generally of client.
The heating-up temperature that the above is said, that is, refer to the heating-up temperature of electric heater 100 in user's water utilizing process, also refers to user not
With the holding temperature of electric heater during water 100.It can be seen that, according to the calculated heating-up temperature of user's water demand less than tradition electricity
The generally default heating-up temperature of water heater 100, such as 75 DEG C, therefore greatly reduce waste of energy.
Preferably, in some embodiments, electric heater 100 switches in both of which：Mode of learning and intelligence control
Molding formula.Under mode of learning, controller 60 calculates the water outlet of water tank 10 according to the first information, the second information and inflow temperature to be caused
Thermal loss, and according to thermal loss calculate heating-up temperature.Then, controller 60 exits mode of learning and enters Based Intelligent Control
Pattern, retaining is heated under intelligent control mode according to heating and temperature control heater 50.
Please join Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in some embodiments, electric heater 100 includes the input module being connected with controller 60
70.Input module 70 is for receiving user's input so that controller 60 is into mode of learning or exits mode of learning to enter intelligence
Control model.In some embodiments, input module 70 includes TIP 71, which is provided with intelligent control switch 711, uses
Family was grown by 6 seconds to intelligent control switch 711 so that controller 60 is grown by 6 seconds to exit into mode of learning or under mode of learning
Mode of learning enters intelligent control mode.
Under mode of learning, due to electric heater 100, also no the water habits of user are not arrived in study, so just using common electricity
The mode of heating of water heater 100, enters in user's water and uses water state, such as 75 DEG C, right according to a default heating-up temperature
Retaining is heated, and without temperature return difference.Larger temperature return difference is adopted under the dry keeping warm mode of user, such as 5 DEG C, and
Relatively low operation power, to retaining Heat preservation is carried out.Temperature adds difference to determine that electric heater 100 restarts the temperature for heating,
For example, temperature return difference is set to 5 DEG C under keeping warm mode, and heating-up temperature is 75 DEG C, i.e. the control of controller 60 heater 50 heating stores
Water to 75 DEG C stop heating, treat that retaining radiating and cooling enters to restart heating to 75-5=70 DEG C.It is appreciated that under keeping warm mode
Relatively low heating-up temperature and larger temperature return difference more saves electric energy.
Similar, in some embodiments, electric heater 100 is same with water state under intelligent control mode
Switch with keeping warm mode.Heated using the first higher power heater 50 is controlled with water state controller 60, protected
Heater 50 is controlled under temperature state and adopts larger temperature return difference and the second Power operation less than the first power.
