Description of the Related Art Bathtubs or water heaters that reheat bathtub water by circulation are constructed so that the equipment is operated only after confirming that water is flowing into a heat exchanger. In conventional water flow confirmation means, a magnet is attached to a door that opens and closes depending on the presence or absence of water flow, and when the door opens due to water flow, the magnet approaches a proximity switch installed outside the water flow path, causing the proximity switch to switch. A so-called water flow switch has a mechanical structure that operates the water flow, and a magnet is attached to an impeller that rotates when water flows through it.When the impeller rotates due to water flow, its rotation speed is detected by a Hall IC placed outside the flow channel. However, there is a so-called flow sensor consisting of a microcomputer and a mechanical structure that recognizes the amount of water flowing through calculation by a microcomputer control unit that also controls the heating device.

There is a problem in that on-failures and off-failures occur in which the power remains on or off regardless of the presence or absence of the power. Further, in the flow sensor, it may become impossible to accurately detect the amount of water flowing due to a decrease in rotation due to foreign matter becoming entangled with the impeller or sticking to the impeller.

Indicates the rate of increase. The present invention focuses on this point, calculates the hot water temperature increase rate based on the difference between the downstream hot water temperature and the upstream hot water temperature of the heat exchanger, and time, and compares the hot water temperature increase rate with the preset temperature increase rate. By comparison, if the hot water temperature increase rate is within a certain range of the set temperature increase rate, it is determined that water is flowing. When the hot water temperature rise rate is lower than the set temperature rise rate, it is determined that the water is not flowing and is being heated dry, and when the hot water temperature rise rate is higher than the set temperature rise rate, the flow rate has decreased due to debris clogging, etc. It is determined that there is a risk of boiling, and in either case, equipment operation is stopped.
