Provided are a heat exchange method of tap water using a heat exchanger, and the heat exchanger. The content of residual chlorine in the tap water is about 2 ppm or more, the heat exchanger comprises a plurality of heat plates, which comprise ferritic stainless steel, and copper brazing configured to couple the heat plates, and the ferritic stainless steel contains less than about 0.5 wt % of nickel, about 0.1 wt % to about 2 wt % of copper, and about 0.03 wt % or less of carbon.

A combined heat and power system generates energy and efficiently captures a percentage of such energy that would otherwise be lost to, among other things, control the temperature and humidity of a house or dwelling.

A distribution valve controls a distribution ratio of a heat transfer medium between a hot water supply path including a heat exchanger for hot water supply and a beating circulation path through which the heat transfer medium is supplied to a heating terminal. A bypass flow rate control valve controls a bypass ratio which is a ratio of a flow rate of low temperature water introduced into a bypass pipe that bypasses the heat exchanger for hot water supply to a flow rate of low temperature water introduced into a water inlet pipe. The bypass ratio is regulated so that a hot water temperature detected by a temperature sensor reaches a hot water target temperature. During a simultaneous operation of hot water supply and heating, the distribution valve is controlled so that, when a bypass ratio is low, a distribution ratio is higher than when a bypass ratio is high.
