る。According to the second aspect of the present invention, the heat exchange promoting member is formed of an upper thin plate and a lower thin plate, and the number of lower thin plates is made larger than the number of upper thin plates. The contact area between the hot water and the air at the lower part can be made larger than the upper part of the heat exchange promoting member, and the lower part of the heat exchange promoting member by the hot water having a low calorie after the heat exchange has already been performed at the upper part of the heat exchange promoting member. Heat exchange efficiency can be increased.

Therefore, in particular, the height dimension of the exterior body can be made smaller, and the overall size of the apparatus can be further reduced, so that, for example, the bathroom can be mounted in the bathroom counter. The space can be used effectively.
