(Prior Art) As a conventional device of this type, the magnitude of the energizing current of the electromagnetic proportional control valve is controlled according to the deviation between the load temperature of the burner and the set temperature, and the energizing current is controlled to drive the fan motor. It is known to branch into a circuit and control the air volume of the fan in proportion to the magnitude of the energizing current at a constant increase rate to increase or decrease the air volume according to the increase or decrease of the gas volume.

By the way, there are a plurality of gases currently used, and the calorific value per unit volume is different for each of these gas species. In the above-mentioned conventional water heater, for example, a gas having a low heating value 4
When switching from C to 13A, which is a gas with a high calorific value, in order to make the hot water discharge capacity of the water heater constant, the control range of the energizing current of the proportional control valve is changed and the opening of the proportional control valve is changed to 4C.
It is necessary to reduce the flow rate of 13A as a whole by narrowing down the flow rate of 13A. However, if the opening of the proportional control valve is narrowed down in this way, the ejection pressure at the nozzle decreases, but it is known that the amount of gas ejected from the nozzle is proportional to the 1/2 power of the ejection pressure. The lower the value, the greater the fluctuation of the gas pressure has on the ejection amount. In the case of a gas with a high calorific value, the fluctuation of the ejection amount has a greater effect on the total calorific value (combustion amount) in the burner than with a gas with a low calorific value.
The jet pressure of 13 A is increased to stabilize the jet amount than in the case of, and instead, the jet amount itself is adjusted to be smaller than that of 4 C by using a nozzle having a smaller diameter than that of 4 C. In this way, when changing the gas type, there is a difference in whether the control range of the energizing current is widened or narrowed depending on whether the nozzle is changed according to the gas type or not. It is necessary to change the control range of the energizing current to the proportional control valve according to the species switching.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) On the other hand, even if the ejection amount is increased or decreased according to the gas type, the oxygen amount required for combustion does not change as long as the combustion amount is constant. Since the rotation speed of the fan motor is controlled so as to be proportional to the current supplied to the proportional control valve, if the range of the current supplied to the proportional control valve is changed, the rotation speed of the fan motor will be changed accordingly. However, there is a problem that an appropriate combustion air cannot be supplied with respect to the amount of combustion, resulting in defective combustion.

Incidentally, in such a case, the one in which the supply amount of combustion air is adjusted by a manual operation is the actual open-circuit sho 58-10744.
As is known from Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-75, in addition to the switching operation for the proportional control valve, the adjustment operation for the air supply amount must be performed, and if the manual operation for the air supply amount is forgotten, incomplete combustion occurs. And is inferior in safety.
