Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure safety at the time of a breakdown or a power failure by a construction wherein a bypass passage bypassing a heat exchanger is provided and a supply hot water temperature detecting means is provided at a mixing part of the heat exchanger, while an operating force generating means for driving a bypass valve in the direction of closure is controlled on the basis of a detected value of a supply hot water temperature. CONSTITUTION:A bypass passage 13 bypassing a heat exchanger 10 is connected to a branching point of an intake water passage 11 and a joining point 15 at the fore end of a heating passage 12, and a supply hot water temperature detecting means 18 such as a thermistor is provided on the downstream of the joining point 15. In a controller 23, signals of a setting means 22 and the supply hot water detecting means 18 are compared with each other and a coil current of an operating force generating means 24 is regulated in accordance with the deviation. When a supply hot water temperature is lower than a set temperature, for instance, the coil current is lessened to close a bypass valve 17 and thereby the quantity of bypass water is reduced so as to raise the temperature of supply hot water. In the case where the operating force generating means 24 fails to operate or a power failure occurs, a valve element is pushed down by an actuating means to fully open the bypass valve 17 so that the quantity of the bypass water be increased and the temperature of the hot water be lowered.
