Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the construction of a flow quantity detecting portion of an instantaneous water heating device by providing a detection resistor in a ceramic heat generating element and connecting the detection resistor to a flow quantity detection circuit using the principle of a hot-wire type flow speed meter. CONSTITUTION:A heat generating resistor 1 and the detection resistor 2 are pinched between a ceramic sheet 3 and a ceramic substrate 4, and are integrally molded to constitute a ceramic heat generating element 5. When a flow quantity adjusting valve 10 is opened, service water passes through a pipeline 12 and reaches a heat exchange flow-path 9 to act to cool the detection resistor 2. The flow quantity detection circuit 14 controls the voltage applied to the detection resistor 2 so that the temperature of the detection resistor 2 assumes a predetermined value, and it is possible to conversely obtain a flow quantity (flow speed) from the change of the voltage value. Since the detection resistor 2 is in contact with an operating fluid through a thin sheet 3 of ceramics having a good thermal conductivity, its thermal response is excellent. Further, since the detection resistor 2 is installed at the upstream side from the heat generating resistor 1, the detection resistor 2 is not affected by the heat generated from the heat generating resistor 1.
