PURPOSE:To provide a hot water supplying system that can deliver high temperature water from the begining of discharge by forming a heat pipe in which the inner pipe is made a hot water passage and the outer space between the inner and outer pipes is sealed to contain the operating fluid, and bringing the high temperature absorbing side end of the heat pipe into contact with the high temperature section at the root of the hot water delivery pipe. CONSTITUTION:When the high temperature absorbing side end 6 of heat pipe is heated by the high temperature section such as hot water 7 in the hot water reservoir tank 1 or pilot flame 10, etc., the operating liquid in there is heated and moves in the outer space 5 toward the other end as vaporized gas, whereby heating the water staying in the inner pipe 3 by dissipating its heat to turn into the liquid form. The liquid returns to the high temperature absorbing side end 6 through the wick such as fine grooves on the outer surface of the inner pipe 3 by the capillary action. In this way, the water in the inner pipe 3 is heated and maintained at the suitable temperature. In this instance, as the temperature of the hot water in the inner pipe 3 is always lower than the high temperature absorbing side end 6 of the heat pipe, the water is not heated to too high a temperature, and is suitable for use. If the hot water is too hot, it may be mixed with cold water at the tap to obtain the suitable hot water. |
