Abstract:
1. A single can-type composite heat source machine comprising a single can body including a first combustion section having a first burner and a hot water supplying first main heat exchanger located above the first burner, and a second combustion section having a second burner and a second main heat exchanger located above the second burner and used for a purpose other than hot water supply, the first combustion section and the second combustion section being partitioned from each other by a partition wall and juxtaposed in a lateral direction, the machine comprising a first auxiliary heat exchanger of a latent heat recovery type connected to an upstream side of the first main heat exchanger and a second auxiliary heat exchanger of a latent heat recovery type connected to an upstream side of the second main heat exchanger, the machine being characterized in that: a common exhaust hood straddling both the first and second combustion sections is located on a top surface of the can body, and a guide plate inclined so that a rear part of the guide plate is higher than a front part thereof is provided in a lower part of the exhaust hood to divert an exhaust gas to a rear part in the exhaust hood and then to guide the exhaust gas forward, and an exhaust partition wall is provided in the exhaust hood to partition a space in the exhaust hood into a first exhaust space through which an exhaust gas from the first burner having passed through the first main heat exchanger flows and a second exhaust space through which an exhaust gas from the second burner having passed through the second main heat exchanger flows; the first auxiliary heat exchanger is located above the guide plate in the first exhaust space, and the second auxiliary heat exchanger is located above the guide plate in the second exhaust space; and each of the first and second auxiliary heat exchangers comprises a meandering heat absorbing tube having a laterally inward U turn section that turns around, without penetrating the exhaust partition wall, on a side of a surface of the exhaust partition wall located opposite a target side plate that is one of side plates provided on opposite lateral sides of the exhaust hood, the target side plate being positioned laterally outside an exhaust space in which each of the auxiliary heat exchanger is located, and the exhaust partition wall has a heat absorbing tube fixing section to which the laterally inward U turn sections of the heat absorbing tubes in each of the auxiliary heat exchangers are fixed.
