Abstract
A circulating pathis provided for circulating a heat transfer medium across the cooling sectionA and an exhaust heat exchanger. The circulating pathis communicated to an output heat exchanger which is mounted on a hot water storage. The heat transfer medium is circulated by a pumpfrom the exhaust heat exchangerto the oil heat exchangerand the cooling sectionA. The heat transfer medium to be introduced into the exhaust heat exchangeris so controlled in the flow rate that a temperature of the water vapor in the exhaust gas is declined to a temperature lower than the dew point. The heat transfer medium when having received heat directly from the exhaust gas and heat generated by condensation of the exhaust heat is conveyed to the cooling sectionA where its temperature soars up further.
