Here, the room temperature thermistor 29 is provided in the inflow path of the air in the bathroom sucked from the intake port 23 by the circulation fan 24, and when the rotation speed of the circulation fan 24 is low, the air in the bathroom is reduced. Becomes insufficient, a difference occurs between the actual temperature in the bathroom and the temperature detected by the room temperature thermistor 29, and the room temperature cannot be detected accurately.

In the heating mode, the controller 20
Detects the temperature in the bathroom with the room temperature thermistor 29, and the temperature in the bathroom is set to “high”, “medium”,
A heating operation is performed in which the speed of the circulation fan 24 is switched so that the target temperature preset corresponding to "low" is maintained. Hereinafter, the operation of the controller 20 in the heating operation will be described.

When the user sets the operation mode changeover switch (not shown) provided on the remote controller 11 to "heating" and turns on the operation switch (not shown), the controller 20 opens the thermal valve 22. At the same time, the control signal for instructing the start of operation is transmitted to the heat source device 6 via the heat source device cable 7.

As a result, the heat source device 6 is activated, and the supply of hot water of a predetermined temperature (for example, 80 ° C.) from the heat source device 6 to the heat exchanger 21 is started via the hot water supply pipe 8a. And
In order to prevent the cool air from being supplied to the bathroom, the controller 20 waits for the temperature detected by the hot water thermistor 28 to reach a predetermined level or higher (for example, 40 ° C. or higher), and then operates the circulation fan 24 to enter the bathroom. To start sending hot air.

3. A heat exchanger using hot water supplied at a predetermined temperature as a heat source, and a fan that sucks air to pass through the heat exchanger and blows the air passing through the heat exchanger into the bathroom. , A bathroom temperature sensor provided in an inflow path of air sucked by the fan, and by operating the fan in a state where hot water is supplied to the heat exchanger, the heat is passed through the heat exchanger and heated. And heating control means for performing heating operation for controlling the number of rotations of the fan so that the detected temperature of the bathroom temperature sensor matches a predetermined target temperature. Is the temperature detected by the bathroom temperature sensor even when the number of rotations of the fan is lowered to the lower limit number of rotations that produces an air volume at which the temperature in the bathroom can be detected by the bathroom temperature sensor during execution of the heating operation. When the temperature exceeds the target temperature, in the bathroom heating device for operating the fan for a predetermined time at a low rotation speed set lower than the lower limit rotation speed, the heating control means, the heating temperature of the bathroom temperature sensor within the predetermined time. When it is understood that the detected temperature has dropped from the target temperature by a predetermined temperature range or more, the fan is operated at a rotation speed equal to or higher than the lower limit rotation speed until the detection temperature of the bathroom temperature sensor becomes equal to or higher than the target temperature. A bathroom heating system characterized by the above.
