<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the areas of mixed layers formed in hot water storage tanks from being expanded by reducing the remaining amount of hot water in the hot water storage tanks. <P>SOLUTION: In this operating method for a hot water supply system 1, hot water with a prescribed temperature is stored in the hot water storage tanks 3 and 7 by circulating water or hot water between the hot water storage tanks 3 and 7 and a heating source 30, and the hot water is supplied from the inside of the hot water storage tanks 3 and 7 by supplying water into the hot water storage tanks 3 and 7. Immediately before a hot water storage operation is started to be ready for a next day's hot water supply after a day's hot water supply is completed, the remaining amount of hot water is detected, and the stored hot water amount into the hot water storage tanks 3 and 7 by the hot water storage operation is controlled so that the remaining amount of hot water is slightly larger than the overall hot water supply amount consumed during the hot water storage operation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
