When the display device is driven, the display module, the electronic component, etc. generate heat. The display device has a heat dissipation structure such as air cooling and water cooling because the amount of generated heat increases as the screen size increases, the image quality increases, and the brightness increases.

Various types of display devices having this type of heat dissipation structure have been proposed in response to noise reduction, a large screen, and space saving of an installation surface.
For example, in the display device disclosed in Patent Document 1, in order to cool the housing of the display module that generates heat without using a cooling fan in response to noise reduction, a pipe that circulates the cooling liquid is provided inside the rear surface of the housing of the display module. It is arranged.
In the display device disclosed in Patent Document 2, the display module itself is embedded in a wall, and the display module and a printed circuit board are ventilated to be naturally air-cooled.
Furthermore, in the wall surface installation system shown in Patent Document 3, there is no heat dissipation structure, but the display device itself is attached to the wall panel material.

Moreover, in the example shown in patent document 4, the refrigerator, the television, etc. are incorporated in the wall in the building structure. A component that generates heat in a television or the like is provided integrally with a central control device in an underfloor space so that the room temperature does not rise due to exhaust heat. Further, the cool air of the cooling device is supplied to each room by an air conditioning duct within the wall thickness. The exhaust heat of the cooling device is heated by a heat exchanger and supplied to a bathtub, a washroom, and the like.

In the hot water supply system according to the fourteenth embodiment, water is supplied to the cooling pipe 54 of the cooling pipe jacket 50 by the pipe 23a via the electromagnetic valve 109a. The water flowing out from the cooling pipe 54 is supplied to the hot water storage tank 108a of the water heater 108 through the electromagnetic valve 109b through the pipe 23b.

  In such a hot water supply system according to the fourteenth embodiment, first, when the power switch 107 of the large-screen thin television is turned on, the display module 2 is driven, and an on signal of the power switch 107 is sent from the input / output circuit unit 118 to the CPU 112. To enter. By the processing of the CPU 112, the control circuit unit 116 opens the electromagnetic valve 109a in conjunction with the power switch 107. When the electromagnetic valve 109a is opened, water flows into the cooling pipe 54 of the cooling pipe jacket 50 through the pipe 23a. The water that has flowed into the cooling pipe 54 receives heat from the display module 2 that generates heat, becomes warm water, flows out of the cooling pipe 54 through the pipe 23b, and accumulates in the hot water storage tank 108a of the water heater 108.

  Finally, when the power switch 107 of the large-screen flat-screen television is turned off, the display module 2 is stopped, and the control circuit unit 116 closes the solenoid valve 109a in conjunction with the power switch 107 being turned off by the processing of the CPU 112. Then, the electromagnetic valve 109c is closed.

  In such a hot water supply system according to the fourteenth embodiment, hot water can be obtained by utilizing the exhaust heat of the AV equipment, in particular, the exhaust heat of the display module 2 of the large-screen thin television. Since the hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 108a is boiled using the exhaust heat, power is saved.
