The operation of the electric water heater thus configured will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows changes in the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 5 mounted in pressure contact with the container 2 against the passage of time after the heating source 4 is energized. At time t0, the heat retention means 22 detects the magnitude relationship between the temperature set by the heat retention temperature setting means 17 and the output of the temperature detection means 18, and when the output of the temperature detection means 18 is large, the amount of electricity to the heating source is changed. An output signal is sent to the control means 21 so as to decrease the output, and conversely, when the output of the temperature detection means 18 becomes small, the power supply amount to the heating source is increased to keep the water at the temperature θ0.

The temperature detecting means 18 constantly measures the water temperature. When new water (water amount W1, water temperature θ1) is added at time t1, the water temperature drops to θa as shown in FIG. Here, if the initial water amount is W0, this initial water amount W
The following relational expression holds between 0 and the additional water amount W1.

The water amount W in the container 2 is calculated by multiplying the temperature increase gradient (Δθ / Δt) per unit time of 3) by a predetermined coefficient. The water amount W at this time is represented by the following equation.

Next, the circulation time determining means 20 determines the circulation time T defined by the characteristic curve shown in FIG. 3 based on the additional water amount W1 obtained by the equation (1). In the characteristic curve, since unnecessary substances are removed at a constant rate per unit time, the circulation time increases exponentially as the amount of additional water increases. At this time, the circulation time determining means 20 forms an n × m matrix lattice having θa as a parameter and θ (Δθ / Δt) as variables as shown in FIG. Is considered to be almost constant and the circulation time according to the additional water amount obtained from the equation (1) is determined by reading the value (Tij) recorded in advance at the matrix grid point. Needless to say, the function of the circulation time determining means 20 can be easily realized by replacing it with a microcomputer.

When Ts: n is less than a predetermined temperature range (Δφs) within the range, it is not judged that new water is added, and when new water is actually added, the detected value (φj−φj + n) is predetermined. Within a time (n · Ts), the temperature falls by more than a predetermined temperature range (Δφs), at which time water addition is detected for the first time, and the first detected temperature value (φj-1) of the detected temperature at that time is lowered by the water temperature. Let it be the previous temperature (θ0).
