In the hot water supply bath apparatus of the present embodiment, 6 is a heat exchanger, 7 is a burner which is a combustion part, and is provided in the can 8 and the can 8 for passing exhaust heat generated by combustion of the burner 7. The heat transfer pipe 9 (lower pipe) having a concave upper part in the fluid circuit and the bath pipe 10 (upper pipe) which is another fluid circuit as a circular pipe are heat-transferred as an upper and lower pair along the flow of combustion gas. Fin 11

In the gap between the concave portion above the hot water supply pipe 9 and the lower chord joint 16 below the bath pipe 10 in FIG. 2, the brazing material provided in the brazing material hole A13 is melted, filled with the brazing material 12, and joined. I have. At this time, the gap is a value (about 40 μm) at which the molten brazing material 12 flows best due to gravity and capillary action.
Is set to Further, since the brazing material holes A13 are provided symmetrically, the heat transfer fins 11 and the bath tube 10 can be brazed well. Similarly, since the brazing material hole B15 is provided symmetrically, the heat transfer fins 11 and the hot water supply pipe 9 can be brazed well.

The problem with the conventional structure is that when only one of the two functions is used and the combustion amount exceeds a predetermined amount, the amount of heat transfer through the contact area between the pair of upper and lower pipes is reduced. It becomes insufficient and the fluid of the unused function boils. As means for solving this problem, the fluid circuit is deformed to increase the contact area between the hot-water supply pipe 9 and the bath pipe 10 and to make sure that the joint 16 is in contact with the brazing material 12 to increase the amount of heat transfer. It is conceivable to increase the amount of heat transfer from the hot-water supply pipe 9 to the bath pipe 10 by reducing the flow path area of the above and increasing the internal flow velocity.

Therefore, according to the configuration of the present invention, the lower pipe as the hot water supply pipe 9 is larger in diameter than the upper pipe as the bath pipe 10, so that the melted brazing material 12 flows to the joint 16 and is the lower pipe. The shape of the joint 16 of the hot water supply pipe 9 is concave, the gap is about 40 μm, and the brazing material 12 is easily turned by gravity and capillary action. Therefore, even if the surface of the joint portion 16 is slightly uneven, the contact can be surely made, so that the heat transfer area does not decrease. In addition, when the bath is operated alone, the water retained in the hot water supply pipe 9 often boils.
The flow velocity of the fluid passing through the air becomes faster, and the heat transfer efficiency increases. Further, when the hot water supply pipe 9 is heated and the maximum hot water supply capacity is exhibited during the sole operation of the hot water supply, the heat transfer fins 1 to the bath pipe 10 are provided.
Although the amount of heat received from 1 increases and the possibility of the boiling of the bath tube 10 increases, the amount of heat received by the heat shield hole 14 and the brazing material hole A13 can be limited.

Therefore, in the configuration of FIG. 2, for example, when the bath operation is performed without hot water supply, the amount of heat to be heated from the burner 7 to the hot water supply pipe 9 is the same as the conventional example, but the hot water supply pipe 9 and the bath pipe 10 can be reliably contacted through the brazing material 12. Further, the diameter of the bath tube 10 is made smaller than the diameter of the hot water supply tube 9 and the amount of heat transfer is restricted by the heat shield hole 14 and the brazing material hole A13, thereby controlling the amount of heat received by the bath tube 10 and increasing the flow velocity in the tube. This improves the heat transfer coefficient. Then, the heated hot water radiates heat to the bath water through the contact area between the pipes 9 and 10, and the amount of heat radiation increases as compared with the conventional configuration. Therefore, the temperature rise of the hot water is suppressed, and the fluid does not boil even if the combustion amount increases.

In other words, when only one of the two functions is used, the temperature of the retained fluid is suppressed from rising, so that scale generation of both pipes 9 and 10 is prevented and the life of the heat exchanger is extended. Can be achieved. In addition, the output of the burner 7 does not need to be limited as the temperature of the retained fluid increases, and the performance of the apparatus can be sufficiently exhibited, and the discomfort given to the user is eliminated.

Further, by adopting the configuration of the fluid circuit as shown in FIG. 1, the following effects can be obtained. Compared with a conventional configuration in which round tubes are joined, the height of the hot water supply tube 9 is reduced because the shape of the hot water supply tube 9 is concave, so that the can body 8 can be made more compact. If the can 8 is made compact, the exhaust resistance of the combustion gas is reduced, so that the burner 7 can be made compact. In addition, as the amount of heat transfer between the tubes 9 and 10 increases, the high-temperature portion of the heat transfer fins 11 in contact with the tubes 9 and 10 is reduced, so that the oxidation of the heat transfer fins 11 is suppressed. Therefore,
The durability and reliability of the heat transfer fins 11 are improved.

Further, since the upper and lower pipes 9 and 10 are in contact with each other via the brazing material 12, even if one of the fluid circuits thermally expands, the brazing material 12 reduces the stress transmitted to the other pipe. . Therefore, the pipe is flexibly deformed even under the operating condition in which excessive thermal stress is applied, so that the crack of the can 8 can be prevented and
Durability also improves.

Further, an example is shown in which the brazing material 12 wraps around the concave joint 16 of the hot water supply pipe 9 and the bath pipe 10 due to gravity and capillary action. However, as shown in FIG. Providing or applying a brazing material, or providing a bar-shaped brazing material 12 as shown in FIG. 6 enables better joining.

By the way, the shape of the joining portion 16 is

The objects and effects of the present invention are the same as those shown in the first embodiment. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the hot water supply pipe 9 and the bath pipe 10 are different.

The components having the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment have the same structure, and the description is omitted. In the configuration of FIG. 8, the cross-sectional shape of the joining portion 16 of the hot water supply pipe 9 is provided with a flat portion 18 and a concave portion 19, and the joining portion 16 of the bath tube 10 is similarly provided with the flat portion 18 and the concave portion 19. Pipes 9 and 10 are brazed 12
Are joined through a wire. Here, since the lower pipe as the hot water supply pipe 9 is larger in diameter than the upper pipe as the bath pipe 10, the melted brazing material 12 flows to the joining section 16 and the upper and lower pipes 9 and 10 are deformed to form the joining section. It is possible to increase the connection length of 16. The heat transfer between the fluids inside the two pipes is as follows. If the gap between the joints 16 is about 40 μm and the material of the pipe and brazing material is copper and the fluid is water, the heat transfer coefficient of the staying water is better. Since it is overwhelmingly bad, the inhibition of heat transfer due to the presence or absence of the brazing material does not matter much.

Therefore, in the configuration of FIG. 8, for example, when a bath operation is performed without hot water supply, the amount of heat to be heated from the burner 7 to the hot water supply pipe 9 is the same as the conventional example, but the hot water supply pipe 9 and the bath pipe are not heated. 10 can be securely contacted with the brazing material 10 via the brazing material 12.
6 can surely be lengthened. Further, the diameter of the bath tube 10 is made smaller than the diameter of the hot water supply tube 9 and the amount of heat transfer is restricted by the heat shield hole 14 and the brazing material hole A13, thereby controlling the amount of heat received by the bath tube 10 so that the flow rate in the tube By increasing the temperature, the heat transfer coefficient is improved, and the heated hot water radiates heat to the bath water through the contact area between the pipes 9 and 10. The amount of heat dissipation will be greater than in the conventional configuration. Therefore, the temperature rise of the hot water is suppressed, and the fluid does not boil even if the combustion amount increases.

In other words, when only one of the two functions is used, the temperature of the retained fluid is suppressed from rising, so that scale generation of both pipes 9 and 10 is prevented and the life of the heat exchanger is extended. Can be achieved. In addition, the output of the burner 7 does not need to be limited as the temperature of the retained fluid increases, and the performance of the apparatus can be sufficiently exhibited, and the discomfort given to the user is eliminated.

Further, the following effects can be obtained by adopting the configuration of the fluid circuit as shown in FIG. Since the heights of the hot water supply pipe 9, the bath pipe 10 and the hot water supply pipe 9 are both lower than in the conventional configuration, the can 8 can be made more compact. If the can 8 is made compact, the exhaust resistance of the combustion gas is reduced, so that the burner 7 can be made compact. Further, since the length of the joint 16 in the cross section of the tubes can be overwhelmingly increased, the amount of heat transfer between the upper and lower tubes can be increased, and the high-temperature portion of the heat transfer fins 11 in contact with both the tubes 9, 10 is reduced. 1
The oxidation of 1 is suppressed. Therefore, the durability and reliability of the heat transfer fins 11 are improved.

Since the upper and lower tubes 9, 10 are in contact with each other via the brazing material 12, even if one of the fluid circuits thermally expands, the brazing material 12 reduces the stress transmitted to the other tube. . Therefore, the pipe is flexibly deformed even under the operating condition in which excessive thermal stress is applied, so that the crack of the can 8 can be prevented and
Durability also improves.

The objects and effects of the present invention are the same as those shown in Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 is that two different flow paths are connected to the hot water supply flow path 20 and the bath. That is, the flow path 21 is used, and the two flow paths are separated by a single partition 22.

Therefore, in the configuration shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, for example, when the bath operation is performed without hot water supply, the amount of heat to be heated from the burner 7 to the hot water supply passage 20 is almost the same as the conventional example. The flow path 20 and the bath flow path 21 are adjacent to each other with a partition wall 22 therebetween.
The heat transfer rate is improved by controlling the amount of heat received in the bath flow path 21 by increasing the flow rate in the pipe by limiting the amount of heat transfer by the heat shield hole 14 and the brazing material hole A13, thereby improving the heat transfer coefficient. The heat is radiated to the bath water only through the partition wall 22. The amount of heat dissipation will be greater than in the conventional configuration. Therefore, the temperature rise of the hot water is suppressed, and the fluid does not boil even if the combustion amount increases.
