According to a, the standard beverage temperature T 0 , the total discharge amount W for one cup, the hot water discharge amount Kh of the hot water valve 8 per unit time, the cold water valve 9
Enter the cold water discharge amount Kc per unit time of
11 stores the above setting contents. Here, when the selection temperature T is selected by the beverage temperature selection button 3, the hot water temperature sensor 6 and the cold water temperature sensor 7 detect the hot water temperature Th and the cold water temperature Tc, respectively. The arithmetic unit 12 calculates the open time Wht of the hot water valve 8 and the open time Wct of the cold water valve 9 at the desired selected temperature T from the above set value and the detected temperature. This operation is as follows.
温水吐出量をWh,冷水吐出量をWcとして、熱量保存の
法則より Ｗ・Ｔ＝Wh・Th＋Wc・Tc ……（１） となり、また全吐出量Ｗより Ｗ＝Wh＋Wc ……（２） となる。式（１）（２）より温水吐出量Whは Wh＝Ｗ・（Ｔ−Tc）／（Th−Tc） ……（３） となり、式（２）より冷水吐出量Wcは Wc＝Ｗ−Wh ……（４） となる。この求められた温水吐出量Wh,冷水吐出量Wcか

Wctは次のようになる。Assuming that the discharge amount of hot water is Wh and the discharge amount of cold water is Wc, W · T = Wh · Th + Wc · Tc (1) according to the law of conservation of heat, and W = Wh + Wc (2) from the total discharge amount W. . From the formulas (1) and (2), the hot water discharge amount Wh is Wh = W · (T−Tc) / (Th−Tc) (3), and from the formula (2), the cold water discharge amount Wc is Wc = W−Wh ... (4) The opening time Wht of the hot water valve 8 and the opening time of the cold water valve 9 are calculated from the calculated hot water discharge amount Wh and cold water discharge amount Wc.
Wct is as follows.
Wht＝Wh/Kh ……（５） Wct＝Wc/Kc ……（６） ただし、選択温度Ｔが温水温度センサ６で検出した温
水温度Th以上（Ｔ≧Th）であれば Wh＝Ｗ ……（７） Wc＝０ ……（８） とする。Wht = Wh / Kh (5) Wct = Wc / Kc (6) However, if the selected temperature T is equal to or higher than the hot water temperature Th detected by the hot water temperature sensor 6 (T ≧ Th), Wh = W. (7) Wc = 0 ... (8)
