A hot water supply device and a hot water supply system are provided. A controller actuates a circulation pump at a constant output and actuates a heating mechanism for heating by a combustion mechanism when an instantaneous hot water operation is started in response to a temperature drop of a fluid while hot water supply of a hot water supply tap is stopped, until a minimum drive time elapses. The minimum drive time is set based on a flow rate detection value of a flow rate detector under a condition that the circulation pump is actuated at a predetermined constant output and an instantaneous hot water circulation path is formed.

Hot water supply device and hot water supply system

The disclosure provides a water heater. The water heater includes a water heater main body portion including a heat exchanger and a combustion device; a fan and a motor for driving the fan; an exterior case; and an air supply adapter mounted to an upper wall portion of the exterior case. The combustion device and the motor are positioned in a region near an upper portion within the exterior case. The combustion device is at least partly positioned between the air supply adapter and the fan in a plan view. An air outlet of the air supply adapter opens substantially horizontally, avoiding a direction directly facing the motor. The air flowing out from the air outlet is changed in direction by a side wall portion of the exterior case and flows to reach a portion of the motor.

Water heater

A water heating apparatus includes: a water heating circuit; a heater for heating the water heating circuit; and a controller for controlling the water heating apparatus. The water heating circuit includes a heat exchanger for heating a fluid including water and hot water, and a pipe for supplying the fluid via the heat exchanger. The controller is configured to drive the heater in a cleaning mode in which a cleaning liquid for cleaning an inside of the heat exchanger is supplied to the heat exchanger through the pipe.
