PURPOSE:To securely support a hot water storage tank by providing a box- shaped case which are provided therein with the hot water storage tank provided with a condensing part of a heat pipe and a main body of a heat collector, and fitting a tank locking member of the hot water storage tank to the side wall reinforcing plate of the box-shaped case. CONSTITUTION:At the side wall part of a box-shaped case 6 provided therein with the hot water storage tank provided with a condensing part of the heat pipe 1 and a main body of a heat collector (both are not shown), a side wall reinforcing plate 7 for reinforcing is provided. The vertical part 8a of an L- shaped tank locking member 8 pressing the tank front surface through a heat insulating material 3 is fixedly secured to the reinforcing plate 7 by screws 9. In the above described construction, when the hot water storage tank is filled, the tank slides within the case 6 and is liable to slip down, but is prevented by the tank locking member 8 to prevent the seal fixed part between the pipe 1 and the tank from being exerted with an unreasonable force. |
