従来より、貯湯タンクに貯められた湯水を、ヒートポンプにより外気から汲み上げた熱によって加熱するようにした貯湯式給湯装置が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。特許文献1に記載された貯湯式給湯装置においては、ヒートポンプは専ら貯湯タンク内の湯水の加熱に用いられている。   Conventionally, a hot water storage type hot water supply apparatus is known in which hot water stored in a hot water storage tank is heated by heat pumped from outside air by a heat pump (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図1を参照して、単独蓄熱運転の実行手順について説明する。コントローラ70は、図1に示したように、四方弁46を第1送出状態として、圧縮機41により高圧・高温とされた冷媒が四方弁46のポートb,cを経由してタンク熱交換器43側に送出される状態にする。また、コントローラ70は、三方弁32を空調ユニット非接続状態として、室内ファン55と第2膨張弁53をOFF状態(停止状態)にする。
[1. Single heat storage operation]
With reference to FIG. 1, the execution procedure of the independent heat storage operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the controller 70 sets the four-way valve 46 in the first delivery state, and the refrigerant that has been made high pressure and high temperature by the compressor 41 passes through the ports b and c of the four-way valve 46 and the tank heat exchanger. The state is sent to the 43 side. Moreover, the controller 70 sets the three-way valve 32 to the air conditioning unit disconnected state, and turns the indoor fan 55 and the second expansion valve 53 to the OFF state (stopped state).

この状態で、コントローラ70は、圧縮機41、室外ファン45、第1膨張弁42、及びタンク循環ポンプ31をON状態(作動状態)とする。これにより、貯湯タンク11内の湯水がタンク循環路12を介して循環する。また、圧縮機41で高圧・高温にされた冷媒が、圧縮機41→四方弁46(ポートb→c)→タンク熱交換器43→三方弁32(ポートe→f)→第1膨張弁42→室外熱交換器44→四方弁46(ポートa→d)→圧縮機41の順で、冷媒循環回路40内を循環する。   In this state, the controller 70 turns on the compressor 41, the outdoor fan 45, the first expansion valve 42, and the tank circulation pump 31 (operation state). Thereby, the hot water in the hot water storage tank 11 circulates through the tank circulation path 12. Further, the refrigerant that has been increased in pressure and temperature by the compressor 41 is changed from the compressor 41 to the four-way valve 46 (port b → c) → the tank heat exchanger 43 → the three-way valve 32 (port e → f) → the first expansion valve 42. It circulates in the refrigerant circuit 40 in the order of the outdoor heat exchanger 44, the four-way valve 46 (port a → d), and the compressor 41.

その結果、タンク熱交換器43において、タンク循環路12を流通する湯水が冷媒循環回路40内を流通する冷媒との間の熱交換により所定の沸かし上げ温度まで加熱されて、貯湯タンク11の上部に戻される。これにより、沸かし上げ温度の湯水が、貯湯タンク11の上部から順次積層して貯められる。   As a result, in the tank heat exchanger 43, the hot water flowing through the tank circulation path 12 is heated to a predetermined boiling temperature by heat exchange with the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant circulation circuit 40, and the upper part of the hot water storage tank 11. Returned to Thereby, the boiling water at the boiling temperature is sequentially stacked from the upper part of the hot water storage tank 11 and stored.

なお、コントローラ70は、給水管13又は出湯管14に設けられた水量センサ(図示しない)によって、出湯栓90が開栓されたことを検知したときに、出湯栓90から目標給湯温度(リモコン75により設定される)の湯が供給されるように制御をする給湯運転を実行する。   The controller 70 detects the target hot water supply temperature (remote controller 75) from the hot water tap 90 when it detects that the hot water tap 90 is opened by a water amount sensor (not shown) provided in the water supply pipe 13 or the hot water pipe 14. A hot water supply operation is performed to control so that hot water (set by the above) is supplied.

コントローラ70は、貯湯タンク11の湯切れ(貯湯タンク11内の湯を使い切った状態)が生じていないときは、出湯バイパス弁17を開弁状態とすると共に出湯開閉弁23を閉弁状態とし、出湯栓90が開けられたときに、出湯栓90から目標給湯温度(リモコン75により設定される)の湯が供給されるように、給湯混合弁16による混合比を調節して給湯運転を実行する。   When the hot water in the hot water storage tank 11 has not run out (a state where the hot water in the hot water storage tank 11 has been used up), the controller 70 opens the hot water bypass valve 17 and closes the hot water open / close valve 23, When the hot water tap 90 is opened, the hot water supply operation is executed by adjusting the mixing ratio by the hot water mixing valve 16 so that hot water at the target hot water supply temperature (set by the remote controller 75) is supplied from the hot water tap 90. .

また、貯湯タンク11の湯切れが生じているときには、コントローラ70は、出湯バイパス弁17を閉弁状態とすると共に出湯開閉弁23を開弁状態とし、出湯栓90が開けられたときに、出湯栓90から目標給湯温度の湯が供給されるように、バーナ22の燃焼量を調節して給湯運転を実行する。   When the hot water storage tank 11 has run out, the controller 70 closes the hot water bypass valve 17 and opens the hot water open / close valve 23 to open the hot water tap 90 when the hot water tap 90 is opened. The hot water supply operation is performed by adjusting the combustion amount of the burner 22 so that hot water at the target hot water temperature is supplied from the plug 90.

[2.暖房運転]
次に、図2を参照して、暖房運転の実行手順について説明する。コントローラ70は、図2に示したように、四方弁46を第1送出状態として、圧縮機41により高圧・高温とされた冷媒が四方弁46のポートb,cを経由してタンク熱交換器43側に送出される状態にする。また、コントローラ70は、三方弁32を空調ユニット接続状態として、第2膨張弁53とタンク循環ポンプ31をOFF状態(停止状態)にする。
[2. Heating operation]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the execution procedure of heating operation is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 2, the controller 70 sets the four-way valve 46 to the first delivery state, and the refrigerant that has been made high pressure and high temperature by the compressor 41 passes through the ports b and c of the four-way valve 46, and the tank heat exchanger The state is sent to the 43 side. Moreover, the controller 70 sets the three-way valve 32 to the air conditioning unit connection state, and turns the second expansion valve 53 and the tank circulation pump 31 to the OFF state (stop state).

この状態で、コントローラ70は、圧縮機41、第1膨張弁42、室外ファン45、及び室内ファン55をON状態(作動状態)とする。これにより、圧縮機41で高圧・高温とされた冷媒が、圧縮機41→四方弁46(ポートb→c)→タンク熱交換器43→三方弁32(ポートe→g)→第2膨張弁(OFF状態)→室内熱交換器54→第1膨張弁42(ON状態)→室外熱交換器44→四方弁46(ポートa→d)→圧縮機41の順で、冷媒循環回路40内を循環する。   In this state, the controller 70 turns on the compressor 41, the first expansion valve 42, the outdoor fan 45, and the indoor fan 55 (operating state). As a result, the refrigerant whose pressure is increased by the compressor 41 is changed from the compressor 41 to the four-way valve 46 (port b → c) → the tank heat exchanger 43 → the three-way valve 32 (port e → g) → the second expansion valve. (OFF state) → indoor heat exchanger 54 → first expansion valve 42 (ON state) → outdoor heat exchanger 44 → four-way valve 46 (port a → d) → compressor 41 in this order. Circulate.

その結果、室内熱交換器54において、室内ファン55により供給される室内の空気が室内熱交換器54を流通する冷媒により加熱されて、室内が暖房される。   As a result, in the indoor heat exchanger 54, the indoor air supplied by the indoor fan 55 is heated by the refrigerant flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 54, thereby heating the room.

[3.蓄熱冷房運転]
次に、図3を参照して、蓄熱冷房運転の実行手順について説明する。コントローラ70は、図3に示したように、四方弁46を第1送出状態として、圧縮機41により加圧された冷媒が四方弁46を経由してタンク熱交換器43側に送出される状態にする。また、コントローラ70は、三方弁32を空調ユニット接続状態として、第1膨張弁42と室外ファン45をOFF状態(停止状態)にする。
[3. Thermal storage cooling operation]
Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the execution procedure of the heat storage cooling operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 70 sets the four-way valve 46 to the first delivery state, and the refrigerant pressurized by the compressor 41 is sent to the tank heat exchanger 43 side via the four-way valve 46. To. Moreover, the controller 70 sets the three-way valve 32 to the air conditioning unit connected state, and turns the first expansion valve 42 and the outdoor fan 45 to the OFF state (stopped state).

この状態で、コントローラ70は、圧縮機41、第2膨張弁53、室内ファン55、及びタンク循環ポンプ31をON状態(作動状態)とする。これにより、貯湯タンク11内の湯水がタンク循環路12を介して循環する。また、圧縮機41で高圧・高温とされた冷媒が、圧縮機41→四方弁46(ポートb→c)→タンク熱交換器43→三方弁32(ポートe→g)→第2膨張弁53(ON状態)→室内熱交換器54→第1膨張弁42(OFF状態)→室外熱交換器44(室外ファン45はOFF状態)→四方弁46(ポートa→d)→圧縮機41の順で、冷媒循環回路40及び空調冷媒循環路51内を循環する。   In this state, the controller 70 turns on the compressor 41, the second expansion valve 53, the indoor fan 55, and the tank circulation pump 31 (operation state). Thereby, the hot water in the hot water storage tank 11 circulates through the tank circulation path 12. In addition, the refrigerant that has been made high-pressure and high-temperature by the compressor 41 is compressed by the compressor 41 → four-way valve 46 (port b → c) → tank heat exchanger 43 → three-way valve 32 (port e → g) → second expansion valve 53. (ON state) → Indoor heat exchanger 54 → first expansion valve 42 (OFF state) → outdoor heat exchanger 44 (outdoor fan 45 is OFF state) → four-way valve 46 (port a → d) → compressor 41 Thus, the refrigerant is circulated in the refrigerant circulation circuit 40 and the air conditioning refrigerant circulation path 51.

その結果、タンク熱交換器43において、タンク循環路12を流通する湯水が冷媒循環回路40内を流通する冷媒との間の熱交換により所定の沸かし上げ温度まで加熱されて、貯湯タンク11の上部に戻される。これにより、沸かし上げ温度の湯水が、貯湯タンク11の上部から順次積層して貯められる。   As a result, in the tank heat exchanger 43, the hot water flowing through the tank circulation path 12 is heated to a predetermined boiling temperature by heat exchange with the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant circulation circuit 40, and the upper part of the hot water storage tank 11. Returned to Thereby, the boiling water at the boiling temperature is sequentially stacked from the upper part of the hot water storage tank 11 and stored.

また、室内熱交換器54において、室内ファン55により吸入された室内の空気が、第2膨張弁53により降圧・低温とされた冷媒により冷却されて、室内が冷房される。この場合は、室内の熱(冷房排熱)を回収して貯湯タンク11内の湯水の沸かし上げに有効に利用することができる。   In the indoor heat exchanger 54, the indoor air sucked by the indoor fan 55 is cooled by the refrigerant whose pressure is lowered and lowered by the second expansion valve 53, and the room is cooled. In this case, indoor heat (cooling exhaust heat) can be recovered and effectively used for boiling hot water in the hot water storage tank 11.

[4.単独冷房運転]
次に、図4を参照して、単独冷房運転の実行手順について説明する。コントローラ70は、図4に示したように、四方弁46を第2送出状態として、圧縮機41により高圧・高温とされた冷媒が四方弁46のポートb,aを経由して室外熱交換器44側に送出される状態にする。また、コントローラ70は、三方弁32を空調ユニット接続状態として、第2膨張弁53とタンク循環ポンプ31をOFF状態(停止状態)にする。
[4. Independent cooling operation]
Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the execution procedure of the single cooling operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the controller 70 sets the four-way valve 46 to the second delivery state, and the refrigerant whose pressure is increased by the compressor 41 through the ports b and a of the four-way valve 46 passes through the outdoor heat exchanger. The state is set to be sent to the 44 side. Moreover, the controller 70 sets the three-way valve 32 to the air conditioning unit connection state, and turns the second expansion valve 53 and the tank circulation pump 31 to the OFF state (stop state).

この状態で、コントローラ70は、圧縮機41、第1膨張弁42、室外ファン45、及び室内ファン55をON状態(作動状態)とする。これにより、圧縮機41で高圧・高温にされた冷媒が、圧縮機41→四方弁46(ポートb→a)→室外熱交換器44→第1膨張弁42(ON状態)→室内熱交換器54→第2膨張弁53(OFF状態)→三方弁32(ポートg→e)→タンク熱交換器43(タンク循環ポンプ31はOFF状態)→四方弁46(ポートc→d)→圧縮機41の順で、冷媒循環回路40及び空調冷媒循環路51内を循環する。   In this state, the controller 70 turns on the compressor 41, the first expansion valve 42, the outdoor fan 45, and the indoor fan 55 (operating state). As a result, the refrigerant that has been made high-pressure and high-temperature by the compressor 41 is converted into the compressor 41 → the four-way valve 46 (port b → a) → the outdoor heat exchanger 44 → the first expansion valve 42 (ON state) → the indoor heat exchanger. 54 → second expansion valve 53 (OFF state) → three-way valve 32 (port g → e) → tank heat exchanger 43 (tank circulation pump 31 is OFF) → four-way valve 46 (port c → d) → compressor 41 In this order, the refrigerant circulates in the refrigerant circuit 40 and the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 51.

その結果、室内熱交換器54において、室内ファン55により吸入された室内の空気が、第1膨張弁42で降圧・低温とされた冷媒により冷却されて室内が冷房される。   As a result, in the indoor heat exchanger 54, the indoor air sucked by the indoor fan 55 is cooled by the refrigerant whose pressure is lowered and lowered by the first expansion valve 42, thereby cooling the room.

なお、暖房運転及び単独冷房運転が実行されているときに、貯湯タンク11の湯切れが生じたときには、ヒートポンプユニット30により貯湯タンク11内の湯水を加熱(沸かし上げ)することができないが、この場合、コントローラ70は、上述したように、補助熱源機20を作動させて給湯運転を行なうことができる。   In addition, when the hot water storage tank 11 runs out during the heating operation and the single cooling operation, the hot water in the hot water storage tank 11 cannot be heated (boiling) by the heat pump unit 30. In this case, the controller 70 can perform the hot water supply operation by operating the auxiliary heat source unit 20 as described above.
