However, in the case of mechanically dealing with the above-mentioned method (1), the performance and size of the combustion device are maintained to further reduce the NOx generation amount. That is technically difficult. Further, the three-way catalyst of (2) cannot be used when a large amount of O2 (about 6 to 7%) is contained in the exhaust gas such as in a domestic hot water supply system. Furthermore, the ammonia of (3) is not suitable for use in a household water heater because of its odor, safety and maintenance. Therefore, the present applicant has proposed a combustion device that uses HC (hydrocarbon) such as propane as a reducing agent when reducing NOx using a catalyst, but this method works effectively above a certain temperature. The condition is that, for example, in the case of boiling water in a domestic hot water dispenser, N
Ox cannot be removed sufficiently.
