In the case where the movable element 32 is configured so as to be rotated by a stepping motor (not shown), it is possible to easily control the rotation angle of the movable element 32.
  • the housing element of the switching valve 6 has the first port 6a, the second port 6b, the third port 6c, O-rings 31, and seal members 33.
  • the O-rings 31 and the seal members 33 are provided respectively in the first port 6a, the second port 6b, and the third port 6c.
  • the seal members 33 come in contact with the surface of the movable element 32 to prevent liquid leakage from gaps between the seal members 33 and the movable element 32.
  • the O-rings 31 prevent liquid leakage from gaps between the seal members 33 and the first port 6a, the second port 6b, and the third port 6c respectively.
  • Fig. 10 shows a state in which the control section 10 has switched the switching valve 6 to the heat accumulating water path. In this state, the first port 6a communicates with the third port 6c via the through channel 34. In this state, the surface of the movable element 32 comes in contact with the seal member 33 provided in the second port 6b, and the second port 6b is thereby closed.
  • the narrowed portion 30 is provided inside the first port 6a of the switching valve 6.
  • the flow channel cross-sectional area of the narrowed portion 30 is smaller than the flow channel cross-sectional area of the second port 6b.
  • the narrowed portion 30 is a tubular member having an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the first port 6a.
  • the narrowed portion 30 is fixed inside the first port 6a. By providing the narrowed portion 30, the pressure loss of the first port 6a is made higher than the pressure loss of the second port 6b.
  • the hot-water supply and heating system 1 according to Embodiment 3 achieves the same effect as that according to Embodiment 1.
  • the narrowed portion 30 may also be formed integrally with the first port 6a.
  • Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the switching valve 6 of the hot-water supply and heating system 1 according to Embodiment 4.
  • Fig. 11 shows a state in which the control section 10 has switched the switching valve 6 to the heat accumulating water path.
  • the switching valve 6 has the movable element 32, and the housing element that houses the movable element 32.
  • the movable element 32 is, e.g., a substantially spherical ball valve.
  • the movable element 32 has the L-shaped through channel 34. Both ends of the through channel 34 form openings in the surface of the movable element 32.
  • the movable element 32 can rotate about the rotation axis perpendicular to the sheet on which Fig. 11 is presented.
  • the housing element of the switching valve 6 has the first port 6a, the second port 6b, the third port 6c, the O-rings 31, and the seal members 33.
  • the O-rings 31 and the seal members 33 are provided in the first port 6a, the second port 6b, and the third port 6c respectively.
  • the seal members 33 come in contact with the surface of the movable element 32 to prevent liquid leakage from the gaps between the seal members 33 and the movable element 32.
  • the O-rings 31 prevent liquid leakage from the gaps between the seal members 33 and the first port 6a, the second port 6b, and the third port 6c.
  • part of the openings at both ends of the through channel 34 in the movable element 32 are covered with the seal members 33 of the housing element.
  • Part of the opening of one end of the through channel 34 is covered with the seal member 33 provided in the first port 6a.
  • Part of the opening of the other end of the through channel 34 is covered with the seal member 33 provided in the third port 6c.
  • Embodiment 4 when the switching valve 6 is switched to the heat accumulating water path, part of the openings at both ends of the through channel 34 in the movable element 32 are covered with the seal members 33, whereby the flow channel of water is narrowed and the high pressure loss occurs. Accordingly, it is possible to make the pressure loss of the heat accumulating water path higher than the pressure loss of the indoor-heating water path.
  • the hot-water supply and heating system 1 according to Embodiment 4 achieves the same effect as that according to Embodiment 1. According to Embodiment 4, the same effect as that according to Embodiment 1 can be obtained by controlling the rotation angle of the movable element 32, and hence it is not necessary to add a new component, making it possible to reduce the cost.
