Combustion apparatus

A combustion apparatus, comprising:

• a combustion part for burning a fuel;
• a blower fan that blows an air to the combustion part;
• an ignition device for igniting the combustion part;
• and
• a control part that controls operations of the combustion part, the blower fan, and the ignition device,
• wherein the control part is configured to selectively perform a continuous combustion in which the combustion part is operated to burn continuously and an intermittent combustion in which a combustion period and a non-combustion period of the combustion part are repeatedly provided,
• when the continuous combustion is stopped, the control part extinguishes the combustion part and operates the blower fan to perform a scavenging operation,
• when the combustion period in the intermittent combustion is ended, the control part extinguishes the combustion part and operates the blower fan to perform a scavenging operation in the non-combustion period, and
• a total air blowing amount of the blower fan in the scavenging operation during the non-combustion period is set to be less than a total air blowing amount of the blower fan in the scavenging operation when the continuous combustion is stopped.
