Definitions

  • Heated water being stored in the hot water storage tank 50 exists at high temperatures in the upper part of the tank and at low temperatures in the lower part thereof. If water is returned from the circulation line 53 directly to the storage tank 50 in the above-described manner at the start-up or in similar cases, cold water or low-temperature hot water will be undesirably sent to the upper part of the storage tank 50 because the water to be returned does not reach a desired high temperature.
  • a solution as shown in the dash-double-dot line in Figure 8 .
  • a three way valve 62 is provided in the circulation line 53 and the circulation line 53 is connected at the three way valve 62 to a bypass line 63 to form a bypass circuit that bypasses the storage tank 50.
  • the heated water temperature of the heat exchange line 14 when the heated water temperature of the heat exchange line 14 is equal to or below the set point, the outgoing water at a low temperature from the heat exchange line 14 is drained to the outside without being returned to the storage tank 3. Therefore, if this operation is continued, the heated water temperature of the heat exchange line 14 rises with time and then exceeds the set point. When the heated water temperature of the heat exchange line 14 exceeds the set point, the operation to drain the water to the outside is cancelled. As a result, the hot water that has been heated up to a sufficiently high temperature in the heat exchange line 14 can be returned to the storage tank 3 through the hot water inlet 11.
