and step S104, judging water shutoff.
In step S102, the programmed predetermined amount of overshoot is 0.5-3L/min.
The invention provides a control method of a water heater, which judges whether water is shut down or not by judging whether the real-time supercharging flow is larger than the sum of the circulation flow and the program preset sudden drop when the water heater enters a supercharging operation mode.
The water heater enters a shower mode, a preheating key is pressed to enable the water heater to enter a preheating operation mode, and when the water heater enters the preheating operation mode, the controller controls the water flow sensor to automatically acquire the circulating flow; when the water heater is in a preheating operation mode, a pressure increasing key is pressed, and a pressure increasing function is started to enable the water heater to enter a pressure increasing standby mode.
In this embodiment, when the real-time water flow is greater than the preset starting water flow, the starting ignition is performed, the water pump is controlled to be started, and the water heater enters a pressurization operation mode.
In step S102, when the water heater is in the preheating operation mode, the controller controls the water flow sensor to automatically collect the circulation flow, the program preset sudden-decrease amount is preset, that is, the circulation flow and the program preset sudden-decrease amount are constant values, and the real-time pressurization flow fluctuates according to the change of the number of users, the change of the water consumption of the users, and other factors.
