The invention belongs to the field of water heaters, and 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 arranged on a water inlet pipeline; a three-way valve is arranged on a water outlet pipeline; a
heat exchanger is arranged between the water inlet pipeline and the water outlet pipeline; the three-way valve communicates with the
water storage tank through a bypass line; when a preheating circulation function is started, the conducting of the three-way valve and the bypass line is controlled; an inner circulation pipeline
system is formed among the water inlet pipeline, the water pump, the
heat exchanger, the water outlet pipeline, the three-way valve, the bypass line and thewater
storage tank; and when the water outlet temperature T2 of the
water storage tank is smaller than the preset circulation temperature Tx, the water pump circulates water in the inner circulationpipeline
system, and water is heated to the temperature which is not less than the circulation temperature Tx. When a user uses hot water, water in the
water storage tank is heated to the temperaturewhich is not less than the circulation temperature Tx and firstly flows out; and after hot water in the
water storage tank flows out, entered cold water can be stably heated through the gas
water heater so as to reach to the preset temperature required by the user.
