Abstract
A fluid material dispensing apparatus includes: a target nozzle for dispensing water to a target container; a water drainage port; a temperature adjustment device for adjusting a temperature of received water to produce a temperature-adjusted water; a flow direction control device coupled with target nozzle, the temperature adjustment device, and the water drainage port; and a control circuit. When the control circuit determines that a temperature of the temperature-adjusted water reaches a predetermined temperature, the control circuit controls the flow direction control device to guide the temperature-adjusted water to flow toward the target nozzle through the first output terminal, so that the target nozzle dispenses the temperature-adjusted water into the target container.
