Abstract: An ion exchanger includes a sheet-shaped positive ion exchanger 2 in which binder particles 5 and positive ionic exchange resin particles 4 are mixed with each other, and a sheet-shaped porous negative ion exchanger 3 in which binder particles 7 and negative ionic exchange resin particles 6 are mixed with each other, the positive ion exchanger 2 and the negative ion exchanger 3 are bonded to each other to form an interface, and capacity of the negative ion exchanger 3 is greater than that of the positive ion exchanger 2. Therefore, the porous ion exchanger 1 is formed and absorbing ability of ion is increased, capacity of the negative ion exchanger 3 is made greater than that of the positive ion exchanger 2, regenerating ability of the ion exchanger with respect to absorbing ability of ion can be secured, and ion absorption and regeneration processing is carried out efficiently.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vacuum heat insulating material. Also disclosed is a heat insulating box using the vacuum heat insulating material. The vacuum heat insulating material includes a core member and envelope members having gas-barrier properties and including heat-seal layers. The envelope members are opposed to each other in such a manner that the core member is disposed between the heat-seal layers. The envelope members are entirely heated to a temperature at which the heat-seal layers are melted, and the heat-seal layers are heat sealed to each other by applying uniform pressure to the entire envelope members from outside to inside the envelope members.

Abstract: A water heater includes a hot water tank 57, a hot water-supplying heat exchanger 52, a water-entering conduit 64, a hot water-issuing conduit 65, entering-water temperature detecting device 67, control device 83 and scale suppressing device 76. The scale suppressing device 76 includes an inlet connection port 77 and an outlet connection port 78 which can be attached to and detached from the water-entering conduit 64. The control device 83 changes an entering-water set temperature T1 at which a heating operation is completed depending upon whether or not the scale suppressing device 76 is mounted. Therefore, a lifetime of a scale inhibitor is increased, and it is possible to reduce maintenance and maintenance costs required when the scale inhibitor is replaced or replenished.
