Abstract

See full text

A latent heat recovery type water heater A being designed such that water flown in a secondary heat exchanger 2 is heated, and the heated water is supplied to a primary heat exchanger 1 and is further heated. A controller 4 compares heat exchange efficiency η of the secondary heat exchanger 2 with a predetermined threshold value Th, and the controller 4 determines whether the primary heat exchanger 1 is in a normal condition or not. The threshold value Th is changed corresponding to temperature of inflow water to the secondary heat exchanger 2. Accordingly, an abnormality such as scale adherence in the primary heat exchanger 1 is accurately detected regardless of the fact that the primary heat exchanger 1 and the secondary heat exchanger 2 are connected by a bypass path or not.
