A hot-water supply apparatus capable of restraining the occurrence of noises from a building wall surface side includes a hot-water supply apparatus main body having a burner and a heat exchanger that generates hot water by combustion exhaust of the burner, and a rectangular parallelepiped main body case that houses the hot-water supply apparatus main body. A back plate (), which closes the back side of the main body case, is installed to a building wall surface (W) such that the back plate () opposes the building wall surface (W) with a predetermined void space (S) provided therebetween. A soundproof member (), which closes at least a part of an open end of the void space (S), is provided on the main body case ().

Hot-water supply apparatus

In a burner plate having a multitude of fire holes each piercing through its thickness so as to effect a primary burning thereon with a high heat capacity, it is adapted to continuously differentiate a time period required for an air-fuel mixture gas to pass through the fire holes of the burner plate from a central portion toward an outer periphery of the burner plate.

Method of preventing burning resonance noise and a burner plate

A burner apparatus is disclosed having a burner body and a burner case with a thermally insulated metal bracket interposed therebetween to connect the burner body to the burner case and control the temperature rise of the burner case during operation of the apparatus with respect to the temperature of the burner body.
