Abstract

Provided is a heating and hot water supply device. The heating and hot water supply device includes: a combustion part; a heat exchanger; a circulation passage; a circulation part; a bypass passage; a distribution means for distributing the heating medium to the circulation passage and the bypass passage; a hot water supply heat exchanger; a water supply passage; and a hot water supply passage (21). The distribution ratio of the distribution means is adjustable so as to correspond to a heating operation, a hot water supply operation, and the simultaneous heating and hot water supply operation. The heating and hot water supply device includes an operation part, which heats the heating medium to one or more heating terminal setting temperatures and circulates the heating medium, and switches a setting of the one or more heating terminal setting temperatures to be increased by a prescribed temperature during the simultaneous heating and hot water supply operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heating and hot water supply device, comprising:
a combustion part comprising a combustion blower,
a heat exchanger that heats a heating medium with heat generated by the combustion part,
a circulation passage that connects the heat exchanger and one or more external heating terminals,
a circulation pump arranged in the circulation passage to circulate the heating medium,
a bypass passage branched from the circulation passage and bypassing the heating terminal,
a distribution valve for distributing the heating medium to the circulation passage and the bypass passage,
a hot water supply heat exchanger arranged in the bypass passage,
a water supply passage that supplies tap water to the hot water supply heat exchanger, and
a hot water supply passage for supplying hot water heated by the hot water supply heat exchanger at a prescribed hot water supply set temperature;
wherein a distribution ratio of the distribution valve is adjustable so as to correspond to a heating operation, a hot water supply operation, and a simultaneous heating and hot water supply operation, and
the heating and hot water supply device comprises a changeover switch, which is configured to heat the heating medium to one or more heating terminal setting temperatures and to circulate the heating medium, and to switch a setting of the one or more heating terminal setting temperatures to be raised by a prescribed temperature during the simultaneous heating and hot water supply operation.

2. The heating and hot water supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the hot water supply passage comprises:
a hot water supply bypass passage that bypasses the hot water supply heat exchanger, and
a flow rate adjustment valve for adjusting a flow rate of the hot water supply bypass passage; and
the heating medium is heated to the one or more heating terminal setting temperatures and circulated during the hot water supply operation.
