Abstract
A combustion apparatus has a fuel supply section; an air blowing section for supplying combustion air; a mixing section for mixing the fuel with the combustion air; a plurality of first catalyst bodies which are arranged substantially in parallel with each other to divide the downstream location in the flow direction of mixture into a plurality of flow paths; and a first heat receiving section configured by a plurality of heat receiving fins arranged in flow paths divided by said first catalyst bodies and a cooling path penetrating the heat receiving fins, the opposed heat receiving fin and first catalyst body being characterized in that the area of the heat receiving fin on the upstream side of said cooling path is smaller than the area of the first catalyst body on the upstream side of the cooling path.
