The detected temperature (temperature of bath water) is compared by a comparison means (not shown), and if the temperature difference is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (when the reheating operation load is equal to or greater than a predetermined value) Since the demand is large, the first reheating heating circuit 27 and the second reheating pump 18 are controlled by driving the reheating pump 18 and controlling both the hot water recirculation pump 16 and the reheating heating pump P. A reheating operation is performed in which both reheating heating circuits 28 are used together.

また、前記設定温度と検出温度との温度差が所定値未満の場合(追い焚き運転負荷が所定未満の場合)は、熱要求が小さいので、前記貯湯ユニット制御装置19は、追い焚き用ポンプ18を駆動させると共に、貯湯用循環ポンプ16を駆動させるように(追い焚き加熱用ポンプPは停止)制御し、前記第1追い焚き加熱用回路27を優先して単独で動作させる追い焚き運転を実行する。   Further, when the temperature difference between the set temperature and the detected temperature is less than a predetermined value (when the reheating operation load is less than a predetermined value), since the heat requirement is small, the hot water storage unit control device 19 includes the reheating pump 18. And the hot water recirculation pump 16 is driven (the reheating heating pump P is stopped), and the reheating operation is performed in which the first reheating heating circuit 27 is operated with priority. To do.

次に上述の第1実施例における沸き上げ運転動作について、図2を用いて説明する。この沸き上げ運転時は、前記第1電動三方弁29Aと第2電動三方弁29Bが、図2に示す状態になる。即ち、第1電動三方弁29Aは、貯湯用循環ポンプ16側と貯湯タンク15下部の往き口部23側とが連通状態になると共に、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27の終端が閉塞された状態になり、第2電動三方弁29Bは、冷媒対水熱交換器6の被加熱部6Bの下流側と戻り口部25の上流側とが連通状態になると共に、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27の始端が閉塞された状態になる。   Next, the boiling operation in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. During the heating operation, the first electric three-way valve 29A and the second electric three-way valve 29B are in the state shown in FIG. That is, the first electric three-way valve 29A is in a state where the hot water circulation pump 16 side and the outlet 23 side below the hot water tank 15 are in communication with each other, and the terminal of the first reheating heating circuit 27 is closed. In the second electric three-way valve 29B, the downstream side of the heated portion 6B of the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger 6 and the upstream side of the return port portion 25 are in communication with each other, and the first reheating heating circuit 27 The starting end of is closed.

この状態で、貯湯用循環ポンプ16が駆動すると、貯湯タンク15内下部の低温水が、往き口部23から第1電動三方弁29A、循環ポンプ16、冷媒体水熱交換器6の被加熱部6Bへと循環される。この冷媒体水熱交換器6の被加熱部6Bに循環された低温水は、そこで加熱部6Aに流れる二酸化炭素冷媒の高温・高圧ガスと熱交換して約90℃に加熱昇温される。この加熱された高温水は、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27の始端が第2電動三方弁29Bにて閉塞されているため、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27側に流れること無く、第2電動三方弁29Bを介して貯湯タンク15側へと流れて、戻り口部25から貯湯タンク15内の上部へと戻される。   When the hot water storage circulation pump 16 is driven in this state, the low temperature water in the lower part of the hot water storage tank 15 flows from the outlet 23 to the heated portion of the first electric three-way valve 29A, the circulation pump 16, and the refrigerant water heat exchanger 6. It is circulated to 6B. The low-temperature water circulated to the heated part 6B of the refrigerant water heat exchanger 6 is heated and heated to about 90 ° C. by exchanging heat with the high-temperature and high-pressure gas of the carbon dioxide refrigerant flowing through the heating part 6A. The heated high-temperature water does not flow to the first reheating and heating circuit 27 side because the start end of the first reheating and heating circuit 27 is closed by the second electric three-way valve 29B. It flows to the hot water storage tank 15 side via the three-way valve 29B, and is returned from the return port 25 to the upper part in the hot water storage tank 15.

上述の沸き上げ運転を続行すると、貯湯タンク15内は、高温の湯水の層(湯層)が上部から中部、さらには下部へ移り、貯湯タンク15内の殆どに高温の湯水を貯溜させることが可能になる。こうして貯湯タンク15内に貯溜された湯水は、給湯管24Bを通って浴槽4や厨房、洗面所等の利用部へ給湯される。   When the above-described boiling operation is continued, the hot water tank 15 moves from the upper part to the middle part and further to the lower part in the hot water tank 15, and the hot water is stored in most of the hot water tank 15. It becomes possible. The hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 15 in this manner is supplied to a use section such as the bathtub 4, kitchen, or washroom through the hot water supply pipe 24 </ b> B.

次に、浴槽水の追い焚き運転動作について、図1を用いて説明する。例えば、風呂リモコン31の追い焚き運転スイッチ34をオン操作すると、その運転信号が貯湯ユニット制御装置19に入力される。この運転信号の入力により、貯湯ユニット制御装置19は、前記第1電動三方弁29Aと第2電動三方弁29Bを図2に示す状態から図1に示す状態へと切替え動作させる。   Next, the bath water reheating operation will be described with reference to FIG. For example, when the reheating operation switch 34 of the bath remote controller 31 is turned on, the operation signal is input to the hot water storage unit control device 19. In response to the input of this operation signal, the hot water storage unit control device 19 switches the first electric three-way valve 29A and the second electric three-way valve 29B from the state shown in FIG. 2 to the state shown in FIG.

即ち、第1電動三方弁29Aは、貯湯用循環ポンプ16側と貯湯タンク15下部の往き口部23側が閉塞状態になると共に、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27の終端が貯湯用循環ポンプ16の上流の貯湯用循環路22に連通された状態になり、第2電動三方弁29Bは、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27の始端が冷媒対水熱交換器6の被加熱部6Bの下流側に連通された状態になると共に、戻り口部25の上流の貯湯用循環路22が閉塞状態になる。   That is, in the first electric three-way valve 29A, the hot water circulating pump 16 side and the outlet 23 side below the hot water tank 15 are closed, and the first reheating heating circuit 27 is terminated at the hot water circulating pump 16 side. The second electric three-way valve 29B is in communication with the upstream hot water storage circulation path 22, and the starting end of the first reheating heating circuit 27 is located downstream of the heated portion 6B of the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger 6. While being in communication, the hot water storage circuit 22 upstream of the return port 25 is closed.

上述した第1電動三方弁29A及び第2電動三方弁29Bの流路切替え動作が終了した時点で、貯湯ユニット制御装置19は、貯湯用循環ポンプ16を駆動すると共に追い焚き用ポンプ18を駆動する。ここで、追い焚き用ポンプ18の駆動により追い焚き回路26を浴槽4の浴槽水が循環し、このとき、前記風呂温度設定手段33にて設定された設定温度と、温度センサSにて検出された検出温度との差が予め定められた所定値以上(例えば、5deg以上)の場合、貯湯ユニット制御装置19は、貯湯用循環ポンプ16及び追い焚き加熱用ポンプPの双方を駆動させた追い焚き運転を開始する。   When the above-described flow path switching operation of the first electric three-way valve 29A and the second electric three-way valve 29B is completed, the hot water storage unit controller 19 drives the hot water storage circulation pump 16 and the reheating pump 18. . Here, the bath water in the bathtub 4 circulates in the reheating circuit 26 by driving the reheating pump 18, and at this time, the temperature set by the bath temperature setting means 33 and the temperature sensor S are detected. When the difference from the detected temperature is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (for example, 5 deg or more), the hot water storage unit control device 19 drives both the hot water circulation pump 16 and the reheating heating pump P. Start driving.

そして、前記貯湯用循環ポンプ16の駆動により、貯湯用循環路22内の湯水が、循環ポンプ16を通って冷媒体水熱交換器6の被加熱部6Bへと循環され、この冷媒体水熱交換器6の被加熱部6Bに循環された湯水は、加熱部6Aに流れる二酸化炭素冷媒の高温・高圧ガスと熱交換して約90℃に加熱昇温される。この加熱された高温水は、貯湯タンク15側へ流れること無く、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27側に流れて追い焚き用熱交換器17の第1加熱部17Aへ循環される。その第1加熱部17Aへ循環された高温水は、追い焚き用ポンプ18の駆動に伴い、追い焚き回路26を通って追い焚き用熱交換器17の被加熱部17Bへ循環された浴槽水と熱交換し、この浴槽水を加熱昇温させる。この追い焚き用熱交換器17の被加熱部17Bで加熱された浴槽水は、再び浴槽4に戻され、この浴槽4内の浴槽水全体の温度を徐々に上昇させる。そして、前記第1加熱部17Aで熱交換した後の温度低下した湯水は、第1電動三方弁29Aを介して貯湯用循環ポンプ16の上流の貯湯用貯湯用循環路22に戻される。   Then, the hot water circulation pump 16 is driven to circulate hot water in the hot water circulation path 22 through the circulation pump 16 to the heated portion 6B of the refrigerant body water heat exchanger 6, and this refrigerant body water heat. The hot water circulated to the heated part 6B of the exchanger 6 is heated to about 90 ° C. by exchanging heat with the high-temperature / high-pressure gas of the carbon dioxide refrigerant flowing through the heating part 6A. The heated high-temperature water does not flow to the hot water storage tank 15 side, flows to the first reheating heating circuit 27 side, and is circulated to the first heating unit 17A of the reheating heat exchanger 17. The high-temperature water circulated to the first heating unit 17A and the bath water circulated to the heated portion 17B of the reheating heat exchanger 17 through the reheating circuit 26 as the reheating pump 18 is driven. Heat exchange is performed and the temperature of the bath water is increased. The bathtub water heated by the heated portion 17B of the reheating heat exchanger 17 is returned to the bathtub 4 again, and the temperature of the entire bathtub water in the bathtub 4 is gradually increased. The hot water whose temperature has decreased after the heat exchange in the first heating unit 17A is returned to the hot water storage hot water circulation path 22 upstream of the hot water circulation pump 16 via the first electric three-way valve 29A.

一方、追い焚き加熱用ポンプPの駆動により、貯湯タンク15内上部の高温の湯が、出口部28Aから第2追い焚き加熱用回路28に導出されて、追い焚き用熱交換器17の第2加熱部17AAへ循環される。その第2加熱部17AAへ循環された高温水は、被加熱部17Bを流れる浴槽水と熱交換し、その浴槽水を第1加熱部17Aでの熱交換作用と相俟って熱交換能力の高い状態で加熱昇温させる。そして、第2加熱部17AAで熱交換した後の温度低下した湯水は、追い焚き加熱用ポンプPを介して貯湯タンク15内の中間高さ位置に臨ませた追い焚き加熱用ポンプPの終端から貯湯タンク15内へ戻される。   On the other hand, by driving the reheating heat pump P, the hot water in the upper part of the hot water storage tank 15 is led out from the outlet 28A to the second reheating heating circuit 28, and the second heat exchanger 17 of the reheating heat exchanger 17 is driven. It is circulated to the heating unit 17AA. The high-temperature water circulated to the second heating unit 17AA exchanges heat with the bath water flowing through the heated portion 17B, and combines the bath water with the heat exchange action in the first heating unit 17A. Heat up the temperature in a high state. Then, the hot water whose temperature has decreased after the heat exchange in the second heating unit 17AA is passed from the end of the reheating heat pump P facing the intermediate height position in the hot water storage tank 15 via the reheating heat pump P. It is returned to the hot water storage tank 15.

上述した追い焚き運転動作は、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27と第2追い焚き加熱用回路28の双方が併用されて同時に動作状態になる追い焚き運転であり、この第1追い焚き加熱用回路27及び第2追い焚き加熱用回路28の併用の追い焚き運転は、追い焚き用熱交換器17の熱交換能力が高く、追い焚き時間を短縮させるのに有効である。   The reheating operation described above is a renewal operation in which both the first reheating heating circuit 27 and the second reheating heating circuit 28 are used in combination to be in an operating state at the same time. This first reheating heating circuit The reheating operation using both the heat reheating circuit 27 and the second reheating heating circuit 28 has a high heat exchanging capacity of the reheating heat exchanger 17 and is effective for shortening the reheating time.

上述の追い焚き運転動作中に、風呂温度設定手段33にて設定された設定温度と、温度センサSにて検出された検出温度との差が予め定められた所定値未満(例えば、3deg未満)になると、貯湯ユニット制御装置19は、貯湯用循環ポンプ16の駆動を継続させたままで、追い焚き加熱用ポンプPの駆動を停止させる追い焚き運転に移行する。   During the reheating operation described above, the difference between the set temperature set by the bath temperature setting means 33 and the detected temperature detected by the temperature sensor S is less than a predetermined value (for example, less than 3 deg). Then, the hot water storage unit control device 19 shifts to a reheating operation in which the driving of the reheating and heating pump P is stopped while the drive of the revolving hot water pump 16 is continued.

この追い焚き加熱用ポンプPの駆動を停止させた追い焚き運転動作は、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27のみが動作状態となる追い焚き運転であり、上述した第1追い焚き加熱用回路27と第2追い焚き加熱用回路28が同時に動作しての追い焚き運転に比べて、追い焚き用熱交換器17での熱交換能力は略半減するが、この第1追い焚き加熱用回路27の単独動作での追い焚き運転では、貯湯タンク15内の高温の湯が消費されない利点がある。   The reheating operation in which the driving of the reheating pump P is stopped is a reheating operation in which only the first reheating heating circuit 27 is in an operating state. Compared to the reheating operation in which the second reheating heating circuit 28 is operated simultaneously, the heat exchanging capacity of the reheating heat exchanger 17 is substantially halved, but the first reheating heating circuit 27 is independent. In the reheating operation in operation, there is an advantage that the hot water in the hot water storage tank 15 is not consumed.

上記した追い焚き運転動作は、前記風呂リモコン31の追い焚き運転スイッチ34を、再び押して追い焚き運転を解除するか、或いは前記温度センサSの検出温度が風呂温度設定手段33にて設定された設定温度に達すると自動的に停止される。   In the reheating operation described above, the reheating operation switch 34 of the bath remote controller 31 is pressed again to cancel the reheating operation, or the detection temperature of the temperature sensor S is set by the bath temperature setting means 33. It will automatically stop when it reaches temperature.

本発明は以上のように構成されているから、追い焚き運転時に、前記風呂温度設定手段33にて設定された設定温度と、温度センサSにて検出された検出温度との差が予め定められた所定値以上(例えば、5deg以上)の場合、貯湯ユニット制御装置19は、貯湯用循環ポンプ16及び追い焚き加熱用ポンプPの双方を駆動させて、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27と第2追い焚き加熱用回路28の双方が併用された同時動作状態になり、ヒートポンプユニット2のヒートポンプ運転を利用しつつ、貯湯タンク15内上部の高温水を利用した浴槽水の追い焚き運転が実行され、風呂温度設定手段33にて設定された設定温度と、温度センサSにて検出された検出温度との差が予め定められた所定値未満(例えば、3deg未満)になると、貯湯用循環ポンプ16の駆動を継続させたままで、追い焚き加熱用ポンプPの駆動を停止させる追い焚き運転に移行させ、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27のみが動作状態となる追い焚き運転に動作切替えする。そのため、追い焚き運転負荷が大きい場合は、追い焚き用熱交換器17の熱交換能力を高めて、追い焚き時間の短縮化を図ると共に、追い焚き運転負荷が小さい場合は、第1追い焚き加熱用回路27のみを動作させて、貯湯タンク15内の高温の湯を使用しない追い焚き運転が行えるものであり、追い焚き運転時間を短縮させつつ、必要時に高温湯水を給湯できない等の給湯の使用制限を緩和でき、使い勝手に優れたヒートポンプ給湯装置となせるものである。   Since the present invention is configured as described above, the difference between the set temperature set by the bath temperature setting means 33 and the detected temperature detected by the temperature sensor S during the reheating operation is determined in advance. In the case of the predetermined value or more (for example, 5 deg or more), the hot water storage unit control device 19 drives both the hot water storage circulation pump 16 and the reheating heating pump P to generate the first reheating heating circuit 27 and the second reheating heating circuit 27. Both of the reheating and heating circuits 28 are used in a simultaneous operation state, and while using the heat pump operation of the heat pump unit 2, the reheating operation of the bathtub water using the high temperature water in the upper part of the hot water storage tank 15 is executed. When the difference between the set temperature set by the bath temperature setting means 33 and the detected temperature detected by the temperature sensor S is less than a predetermined value (for example, less than 3 degrees), While continuing to drive the circulation pump 16, the operation is shifted to the reheating operation in which the driving of the reheating heating pump P is stopped, and the operation is switched to the reheating operation in which only the first reheating heating circuit 27 is in an operating state. . Therefore, when the reheating operation load is large, the heat exchange capacity of the reheating heat exchanger 17 is increased to shorten the reheating time, and when the reheating operation load is small, the first reheating heating is performed. The hot water in the hot water storage tank 15 can be operated without using the hot water in the hot water tank 15, and the hot water supply can be used when necessary, while shortening the time for the hot water operation. The restriction can be relaxed and a heat pump hot water supply device with excellent usability can be obtained.

尚、浴槽水の保温運転時には、ヒートポンプユニット2の圧縮機5の回転数を低回転数に落として、ヒートポンプユニット2の加熱能力を低下させた低出力運転を行わせると共に、第1追い焚き用加熱回路27を単独運転動作させることが好ましい。   In addition, at the time of the warming operation of the bath water, the rotation speed of the compressor 5 of the heat pump unit 2 is lowered to a low rotation speed so as to perform the low output operation in which the heating capacity of the heat pump unit 2 is lowered and for the first reheating. It is preferable that the heating circuit 27 is operated alone.

また、本発明は、上述の一実施例に限定されるものでなく、要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
