Publication number: 20210156593Abstract: A hot water supply device includes: a first pipe connected to a water inlet; a flow detector detecting a flow of water in the first pipe; a heating mechanism heating the water; a second pipe through which warm water flows, connected to the first pipe via a third pipe; a circulating pump disposed in a path of the first pipe, sending the warm water in the third pipe toward the heating mechanism during operation; and a control device. Based on acceptance of an execution command of an instant hot water circulation mode, the control device operates the circulating pump, and, in response to a set hot water output temperature exceeding a limit temperature, adjusts a heating temperature of the heating mechanism, so that the temperature of the warm water becomes equal to or lower than the limit temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2020Publication date: May 27, 2021Applicant: NORITZ CORPORATIONInventors: Kenichiro Yasukawa, Hiroki Nabeshima, Shingo Tateishi, Hideki Nomura, Takanobu Kaneshiro, Hiromi Yamanishi, Ryo Hasegawa
