Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water heater requiring no increase in a fan rotating speed at fan driving time in the initial stage of operation even at low temperature time by solving a problem of having influence even on combustion performance when the fan rotating speed increases too much in minimum combustion though the stable fan rotating speed can be obtained by increasing the stable fan rotating speed at low temperature time because of requiring time up to reaching the stable fan rotating speed after issuing a fan driving command for driving a fan at the fan rotating speed drivable even at low temperature time when driving the fan in the initial stage of the operation because a temperature of the fan lowers at low temperature time such as the winter season, and a starting characteristic becomes bad in a conventional water heater. <P>SOLUTION: This water heater has the fan for supplying combustion air, a heater for warming the fan, and an outside air temperature detecting means for detecting an outside air temperature. When a detecting value of the outside air temperature detecting means becomes a prescribed value or less, an electric current is carried to the heater. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
