<p>PURPOSE:To provide the heating apparatus which can start quickly by a method wherein a convection type heater and a radiation type heater for floor heating are operated through the same heat source. CONSTITUTION:The condenser 4 of a heat pump 9 for performing an air conditining and space heating operation is formed of a heat exchanger comprising an inner pipe and an outer pipe, a heat medium A from the heat pump 9 is circulated through an outer pipe 10 and a heat medium B from a heat pipe 14 for floor heating is sealed into the inner pipe of the heat exchanger. The heat medium B in the heat pipe 14 heated by the heat medium A in the condenser 4 of the heat pump 9 vaporizes within the inner pipe 11 and transfers to a low pressure section 15 where it is liquefied (cooled) as a result of its having heated the floor. Then the liquefied heat medium B returns to a vaporization section in the inner pipe 11 due to gravity. In the case of the floor heating by the heat pipe 14, since the heat pipe is slow starting, a fan 8 is operated to make the heat pipe operated for heating the floor while making it function as the conventional heat pump, to thereby increase the heating capacity of the pipe.</p> |
