  The present invention relates to an air conditioning refrigeration cycle and a hot water supply refrigeration by connecting an air conditioning refrigerant circuit that switches between cooling and heating and a hot water supply refrigerant circuit that supplies hot water so that they can exchange heat with each other via an intermediate heat exchanger. The present invention relates to an air-conditioning hot-water supply system in which a dual refrigeration cycle is formed. The present invention relates to an air-conditioning hot-water supply system that can selectively use two air-conditioning refrigeration cycles in a circulating compression cycle.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a refrigerant pipe, an expansion valve, and a separate device as a conventional technique that selectively uses two refrigeration cycles, a natural circulation cycle and a compression cycle. A refrigerant natural circulation cooling and dehumidifying device including a refrigerant compression forced circulation device corresponding to the above-described compression refrigerator is disclosed. This natural circulation cooling dehumidification device is a natural circulation cycle formed by connecting an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger at a position lower than the outdoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve in an annular shape with refrigerant piping.

  However, in the above conventional technology, the natural circulation cycle and the compression cycle constitute an independent refrigeration cycle. Therefore, the heat exchanger of the natural circulation cycle is installed in the heat of the compression cycle at the peak time of air conditioning. It was impossible to use as an exchanger. Therefore, the subject that the heat exchange function of the heat exchanger of a natural circulation type cycle was not utilized effectively occurred. Moreover, in the said prior art, when outside temperature was more than room temperature, the heat release from room | chamber interior to the outside air was performed by the compression cycle, and there existed a subject that the heat release was not utilized effectively. Further, when the outside air temperature is equal to or higher than the indoor dew point temperature, there is a problem that cooling and dehumidification cannot be performed only by a natural circulation cycle.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a first object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning hot water supply system that can use a heat exchanger of a natural circulation type cycle as a heat exchanger of a compression type cycle. There is to do. A second object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning hot water supply system that can effectively utilize heat radiation from a compression cycle. A third object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning hot water supply system that enables cooling and dehumidification by a natural circulation cycle even when the outside air temperature is equal to or higher than the dew point temperature in the room.

  In order to achieve the above object, an air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the present invention circulates through an air conditioning refrigerant circuit that switches between cooling operation and heating operation, a hot water supply refrigerant circuit that supplies hot water, and the air conditioning refrigerant circuit. An air conditioning and hot water supply system comprising an intermediate heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant circulating in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit, the air conditioning refrigerant circuit including the air conditioning compressor, Air-conditioning flow path switching valve, intermediate heat exchanger, air-conditioning expansion valve, air-conditioning use-side heat exchange for heat exchange with the air-conditioning use-side heat transfer medium (for example, indoor air, water, or brine) The hot water supply refrigerant circuit is formed into an annular shape by sequentially connecting with a refrigerant pipe, and the hot water supply side heat exchange is performed by exchanging heat between the hot water supply refrigerant circuit and the hot water supply compressor and the hot water supply side heat transfer medium (for example, water). Refrigerant pipe, hot water supply expansion valve and intermediate heat exchanger in order A bypass pipe connected to the air conditioning refrigerant circuit and bypassing the air conditioning compressor, a flow path of the air conditioning refrigerant, a flow path passing through the air conditioning compressor, and the bypass pipe A bypass opening / closing means for switching to any one of the flow paths passing through is provided, and the intermediate heat exchanger is installed at a position higher than the use side heat exchanger for air conditioning.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to operate with a compression cycle in which an air conditioning refrigerant is forcibly circulated in an air conditioning refrigerant circuit using an air conditioning compressor, and an intermediate heat exchanger and an air conditioning utilization side heat exchanger. Therefore, it is possible to perform a natural circulation cycle operation using the density difference of the air-conditioning refrigerant using a bypass pipe that bypasses the air-conditioning compressor. That is, both a compression cycle and a natural circulation cycle can be configured with a single air conditioning refrigerant circuit. Therefore, the present invention can effectively use a natural circulation cycle heat exchanger as a compression cycle heat exchanger. Moreover, this invention can reduce power consumption by switching and operating a compression cycle and a natural circulation cycle suitably according to utilization environment. In particular, according to the present invention, when the air conditioning compressor is intermittently operated because the cooling load is small, the power consumption can be significantly reduced by performing the operation using the natural circulation cycle. .

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the intermediate heat exchanger can exchange heat between the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit and the hot-water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit. In the natural circulation cycle, an intermediate heat exchanger can be used as a condenser. That is, the air-conditioning refrigerant in the intermediate heat exchanger can be condensed and liquefied by dissipating heat to the low-temperature hot water supply refrigerant flowing into the intermediate heat exchanger. Therefore, the present invention can ensure a large cooling capacity by the natural circulation type cycle even if the temperature difference is small.

  Here, when the difference between the outside air temperature and the room temperature is small, the natural circulation type cycle using outside air as a heat radiation source cannot increase the cooling capacity, but in the present invention, the intermediate heat exchanger is used for hot water supply. Since heat exchange between the refrigerant and the air conditioning refrigerant can be performed, the natural circulation cycle can be reliably operated even when the difference between the outside air temperature and the room temperature is small. That is, the operation of the natural circulation cycle can be assisted by the endothermic action of the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit.

  In addition, when the outside air temperature is equal to or higher than the dew point temperature of the room air, the cooling and dehumidification of the room air cannot be performed by the operation using only the natural circulation type cycle, but in the present invention, for the hot water supply incorporated in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit Since the temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant can be adjusted by appropriately adjusting the valve opening degree of the expansion valve, the temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant can be lowered to an arbitrary temperature via the intermediate heat exchanger. Therefore, the present invention can cool and dehumidify the room even when the outside air temperature is equal to or higher than the dew point temperature of the room air.

  In the air conditioning hot water supply system according to the present invention, in the above configuration, the air conditioning refrigerant circuit is configured to exchange heat between a heat transfer medium (for example, air) on the air conditioning heat source side and the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit. A heat source side heat exchanger is provided in parallel with the intermediate heat exchanger, and heat exchange is performed between the hot water supply heat source side heat transfer medium (for example, air) and the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit. The heat source side heat exchanger for hot water supply is provided in parallel with the intermediate heat exchanger, and the heat source side heat exchanger for air conditioning is installed at a position higher than the use side heat exchanger for air conditioning. .

  According to the present invention, each of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit and the hot water supply refrigerant circuit can be operated independently. In addition, since the present invention provides a head difference between the heat source side heat exchanger for air conditioning and the usage side heat exchanger for air conditioning, even without performing the operation of the hot water supply cycle by the hot water supply refrigerant circuit, The air-conditioning refrigerant can be naturally circulated between the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger and the air-conditioning use side heat exchanger. Therefore, the present invention can enhance the power consumption reduction effect.

  Moreover, the air-conditioning hot-water supply system which concerns on this invention is the said structure, and connects between the said use side heat exchanger for an air conditioning, and the indoor heat exchanger installed in the to-be-conditioned space (for example, house) with piping, and is air-conditioned. A heat transfer medium circulation circuit is formed, and water or brine as a heat transfer medium on the air-conditioning use side is circulated through the air-conditioning heat transfer medium circulation circuit.

  According to the present invention, the refrigerant pipe that connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is not required as in the prior art, and the amount of refrigerant is small. In addition, when a natural circulation cycle is formed in a conventional configuration in which an indoor unit and an outdoor unit are connected by a refrigerant pipe, the outdoor unit must be installed at a higher position than the indoor unit, and layout restrictions are imposed. was there. However, according to the present invention, since the heat transfer medium circulation circuit for air conditioning is provided, there is an advantage that the degree of freedom in layout increases.

  In the air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the present invention, in the above configuration, pipes through which water as a heat transfer medium on the hot water supply use side flows are respectively connected to an inlet and an outlet of the hot water use side heat exchanger. Forming a circuit and providing the hot water supply circuit with a tank (for example, a hot water storage tank, a tank referred to as a heat storage tank) in which water can store heat obtained from the hot water use side heat exchanger. It is a feature.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to collect the air-conditioning exhaust heat and store the hot heat obtained from the hot water use side heat exchanger in the tank. Therefore, there is an advantage that the thermal energy is effectively used and the energy efficiency is increased. Moreover, since this invention can accumulate heat in a tank, it is also possible to eliminate the difference between the time zones of the air conditioning load and the hot water supply load. For example, in the present invention, the cooling space is cooled by a natural circulation cycle while operating a hot water supply cycle in the daytime when there is a cooling load but no hot water supply load, and the heat obtained during the hot water cycle operation is stored in the tank. can do. In other words, the present invention can boil hot water while cooling it in the daytime and use the hot water at night.

  The air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the present invention further includes a control device that controls the operation of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit and the hot water supply refrigerant circuit in the above configuration, and the control device has a set room temperature (set by a user) Tr_st), set humidity (Hr_st) set by the user, outside air temperature (Toa), temperature of the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger inlet (Twbi) of the air-conditioning use-side heat transfer medium, The air conditioning utilization side of the air conditioning utilization side heat transfer medium determined based on the set room temperature, the set humidity, and the temperature of the air conditioning utilization side heat exchanger of the air conditioning utilization side heat transfer medium The set temperature (Twb_st) of the heat exchanger outlet, the temperature (Twhi) of the hot water use side heat exchanger of the hot water use side heat transfer medium, the user's request and the hot water use side heat Based on the temperature at the inlet side of the hot water supply side heat exchanger of the transport medium. Based on the hot water supply output (Qhw) determined by the hot water supply and the hot water supply side heat exchanger outlet of the hot water supply side heat transfer medium (Twho), one of a plurality of operation modes It is characterized by selecting.

  According to the present invention, since a suitable operation mode can be selected by the control device, it is possible to maintain a comfortable indoor space and improve energy saving performance.

  According to the present invention, when the cooling load is small and the compressor is intermittently operated and the water heater needs to be moved (intermediate period), the hot water supply cycle is operated without operating the compressor of the air conditioning cycle. Depending on the opening of the expansion valve, it is possible to make cold water of any temperature (temperature that can be dehumidified) by lowering the evaporation temperature. As a result, the cooling operation can be performed without operating the air conditioning cycle in an inefficient region, and the power consumption can be reduced.

“Operation mode No. 1 <Cooling / hot water supply operation>” (see FIG. 2)
Operation mode No. Reference numeral 1 denotes an operation mode in which a cooling operation by the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 and a hot water supply operation by the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 are performed.

  In the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 21 b of the air-conditioning compressor 21 passes through the four-way valve 22 and flows into the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 dissipates heat to the atmosphere, condenses, and liquefies. This high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the air conditioning expansion valve 27 adjusted to a predetermined opening degree, becomes a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, and flows into the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 absorbs heat from the cold water flowing in the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. The low-pressure gas refrigerant passes through the four-way valve 22 and flows into the suction port 21a of the air-conditioning compressor 21, and is compressed again by the air-conditioning compressor 21 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant.

  The operation mode No. 1, the two-way valves 35 a and 35 b before and after the intermediate heat exchanger 23 are closed so that the air-conditioning refrigerant does not flow through the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The second air conditioning refrigerant branch 5c that bypasses the air conditioning compressor 21 is closed by the three-way valves 34a and 34b before and after the air conditioning compressor 21.

It flows into the exchanger 61. In the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat exchange is performed between the cold water in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning and the high-temperature air in the house 60, and the air in the house 60 is cooled. That is, the room of the house 60 is cooled. At this time, the cold water flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs heat from the air in the house 60 and is heated. The raised cold water is circulated in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 by the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52 and exchanges heat with the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while flowing through the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 again. And cooled to a predetermined temperature.

  On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the gas refrigerant compressed to a high temperature and high pressure by the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply circuit 9 and condenses and liquefies. At this time, in the hot water supply circuit 9, the supplied water becomes hot water at a predetermined temperature by receiving warm heat from the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 by the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The liquefied high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 adjusted to a predetermined opening degree, and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. This gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant absorbs heat from the atmosphere and evaporates while flowing through the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41 and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant.

  The operation mode No. 1, the two-way valve 49 b on the upstream side of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is closed so that the hot water supply refrigerant does not flow through the intermediate heat exchanger 23.

Operation mode No. 2-1 is an operation mode performed when the exhaust heat by the cooling operation is larger than the heat absorption by the hot water operation among the modes in which the hot water operation is performed using the exhaust heat by the cooling operation. This operation mode No. 2-1 is a mode that is performed when the exhaust heat from the cooling operation is larger than the heat absorption from the hot water supply operation, and thus it is not necessary to use the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. Therefore, the two-way valve 49a on the upstream side of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is closed to prevent the hot water supply refrigerant from flowing through the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44.

  In the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 21 b of the air-conditioning compressor 21 passes through the four-way valve 22 and is divided into an air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 and an intermediate heat exchanger 23. Inflow. That is, the gas refrigerant branches and flows into the air conditioning refrigerant main circuit 5a and the first air conditioning refrigerant branch 5b. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 dissipates heat to the atmosphere, condenses, and liquefies. On the other hand, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is condensed and liquefied by releasing heat to the hot-water supply refrigerant flowing in the hot-water supply circuit 6. That is, heat exchange between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant is performed in the intermediate heat exchanger 23.

  The high-pressure refrigerant flowing out of the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is decompressed and expanded by the air-conditioning expansion valve 27 adjusted to a predetermined opening degree, and is a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. And flows into the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 absorbs heat from the cold water flowing in the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. The low-pressure gas refrigerant passes through the four-way valve 22 and flows into the suction port 21a of the air-conditioning compressor 21, and is compressed again by the air-conditioning compressor 21 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant.

  The operation mode No. In 2-1, the second air conditioning refrigerant branch 5c that bypasses the air conditioning compressor 21 is closed by the three-way valves 34a and 34b before and after the air conditioning compressor 21.

  In the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, the cold water radiated to the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 drives the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52, passes through the air-conditioning cold / hot water pipe, and passes through the indoor heat. It flows into the exchanger 61. In the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat exchange is performed between the cold water in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning and the high-temperature air in the house 60, and the air in the house 60 is cooled. That is, the room of the house 60 is cooled. At this time, the cold water flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs heat from the air in the house 60 and is heated. The raised cold water is circulated in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 by the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52 and exchanges heat with the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while flowing through the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 again. And cooled to a predetermined temperature.

  On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the gas refrigerant compressed to a high temperature and high pressure by the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water use side heat exchanger 42.

At this time, in the hot water supply circuit 9, the supplied water becomes hot water at a predetermined temperature by receiving warm heat from the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 by the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The liquefied high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 to become a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. This gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant absorbs heat from the air-conditioning refrigerant while flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. That is, heat exchange between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant is performed in the intermediate heat exchanger 23. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41 and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant. This operation mode No. In 2-1, the intermediate heat exchanger 23 in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 functions as an evaporator using the exhaust heat of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5.

  This operation mode No. In 2-1, since the hot water supply cycle operation by the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 can be performed using the exhaust heat generated by the cooling operation of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5, the energy can be effectively used. In addition, this operation mode No. Since 2-1 uses the air-conditioning exhaust heat as a heat source, the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply cycle can be increased as compared with a case where outside air is used as a heat source. Therefore, the operation mode No. In 2-1, since the input to the hot water supply compressor 41 can be reduced, the power consumption of the hot water supply compressor 41 can be reduced. Furthermore, the operation mode No. In 2-1, since the fan of the heat source side heat exchanger 44 for hot water supply can be stopped, the power consumption required for the operation of the hot water supply cycle is reduced.

“Operation mode No. 2-2 <Hot-water supply operation using cooling exhaust heat>” (see FIG. 4)
Operation mode No. 2-2 is an operation mode performed when the exhaust heat by the cooling operation is smaller than the heat absorption by the hot water operation among the modes in which the hot water operation is performed using the exhaust heat by the cooling operation. This operation mode No. 2-2 is a mode that is performed when the exhaust heat due to the cooling operation is smaller than the heat absorption due to the hot water supply operation, and thus it is not necessary to use the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning. Therefore, the two-way valves 35c and 35d before and after the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 are closed to prevent the air-conditioning refrigerant from flowing through the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24.

  In the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 21 b of the air-conditioning compressor 21 passes through the four-way valve 22 and flows into the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is condensed and liquefied by releasing heat to the hot-water supply refrigerant flowing in the hot-water supply circuit 6. That is, heat exchange between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant is performed in the intermediate heat exchanger 23.

  The high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the air-conditioning expansion valve 27 adjusted to a predetermined opening degree, becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, and flows into the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 absorbs heat from the cold water flowing in the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. The low-pressure gas refrigerant passes through the four-way valve 22 and flows into the suction port 21a of the air-conditioning compressor 21, and is compressed again by the air-conditioning compressor 21 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant.

  The operation mode No. In 2-2, the second air conditioning refrigerant branch 5c that bypasses the air conditioning compressor 21 is closed by the three-way valves 34a and 34b before and after the air conditioning compressor 21.

  In the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, the cold water radiated to the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 drives the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52, passes through the air-conditioning cold / hot water pipe, and passes through the indoor heat. It flows into the exchanger 61. In the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat exchange is performed between the cold water in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning and the high-temperature air in the house 60, and the air in the house 60 is cooled. That is, the room of the house 60 is cooled. At this time, the cold water flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs heat from the air in the house 60 and is heated. The raised cold water is circulated in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 by the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52 and exchanges heat with the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while flowing through the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 again. And cooled to a predetermined temperature.

  On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the gas refrigerant compressed to a high temperature and high pressure by the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply circuit 9 and condenses and liquefies. At this time, in the hot water supply circuit 9, the supplied water becomes hot water at a predetermined temperature by receiving warm heat from the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 by the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The liquefied high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 to become a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. This gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows into the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 separately. That is, the gas refrigerant branches and flows into the hot water supply refrigerant main circuit 6a and the hot water supply refrigerant branch 6b. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 absorbs heat from the atmosphere and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant.

  On the other hand, the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 absorbs heat from the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning circuit 5 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. That is, heat exchange between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant is performed in the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The low-pressure gas refrigerant that has flowed out of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41, and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 so as to have a high temperature and high pressure. It becomes a gas refrigerant. This operation mode No. In 2-2, the intermediate heat exchanger 23 in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 functions as an evaporator using the exhaust heat of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5.

  This operation mode No. In 2-2, since the air-conditioning exhaust heat generated by the cooling operation of the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 can be radiated to the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the air-conditioning cycle is condensed compared to the case where the air-conditioning exhaust heat is radiated to the outside air. Since the pressure can be lowered, the input of the air conditioning compressor 21 can be reduced. Therefore, the operation mode No. In 2-2, the power consumption of the air conditioning compressor 21 can be reduced. Furthermore, the operation mode No. In 2-2, since the fan of the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning can be stopped, the power consumption required for the operation of the air conditioning cycle is reduced.

“Operation Mode No. 3 <Heating / Hot Water Supply Operation>” (see FIG. 5)
Operation mode No. Reference numeral 3 denotes a mode in which a heating operation by the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 and a hot water supply operation by the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 are performed.

  In the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 21 b of the air-conditioning compressor 21 flows into the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 through the four-way valve 22. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 dissipates heat to the hot water flowing in the air-conditioning cold / hot water circuit 8 and condenses and liquefies.

The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 absorbs heat from the atmosphere and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. The low-pressure gas refrigerant passes through the four-way valve 22 and flows into the suction port 21a of the air-conditioning compressor 21, and is compressed again by the air-conditioning compressor 21 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant.

  The operation mode No. 3, the two-way valves 35 a and 35 b before and after the intermediate heat exchanger 23 are closed so that the air-conditioning refrigerant does not flow through the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The second air conditioning refrigerant branch 5c that bypasses the air conditioning compressor 21 is closed by the three-way valves 34a and 34b before and after the air conditioning compressor 21.

  In the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, the hot water absorbed from the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 drives the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52, passes through the air-conditioning cold / hot water pipe, and passes through the indoor heat. It flows into the exchanger 61. In the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat exchange is performed between the hot water in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning and the low-temperature air in the house 60, and the air in the house 60 is heated. That is, the room of the house 60 is heated. At this time, the hot water flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 61 is cooled by releasing heat to the air in the house 60. The cooled hot water is circulated in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 by the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52 and exchanges heat with the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while flowing through the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 again. The temperature is raised to a predetermined temperature.

  On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the gas refrigerant compressed to a high temperature and high pressure by the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply circuit 9 and condenses and liquefies. At this time, in the hot water supply circuit 9, the supplied water becomes hot water at a predetermined temperature by receiving warm heat from the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 by the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The liquefied high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 adjusted to a predetermined opening degree, and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. This gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant absorbs heat from the atmosphere and evaporates while flowing through the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant.

  The operation mode No. 3, the two-way valve 49 b on the upstream side of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is closed so that the hot water supply refrigerant does not flow through the intermediate heat exchanger 23.

“Operation mode No. 4-1 <Air-conditioning side natural circulation operation using hot water supply cycle>” (see FIG. 6)
Operation mode No. 4-1 is an operation mode in which the cooling operation is performed by naturally circulating the air-conditioning refrigerant in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while performing the hot-water supply operation by the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6, and the exhaust heat from the cooling operation is the heat absorption by the hot-water supply operation. This is an operation mode performed when the value is larger. This operation mode No. Since 4-1 is a mode performed when the exhaust heat by the cooling operation is larger than the heat absorption by the hot water supply operation, the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 need not be used. Therefore, the two-way valve 49a on the upstream side of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is closed to prevent the hot water supply refrigerant from flowing through the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44.

  This operation mode No. In 4-1, the air conditioning compressor 21 is stopped, and the second air conditioning refrigerant branch 5c that bypasses the air conditioning compressor 21 is opened by the three-way valves 34a and 34b before and after the air conditioning compressor 21. Thus, the route (route indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 6) passing through the air conditioning compressor 21 is closed. Therefore, the air conditioning refrigerant circulates in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 bypassing the air conditioning compressor 21. The operation mode No. In 4-1, the two-way valves 35a and 35b before and after the intermediate heat exchanger 23 are open. The air conditioning expansion valve 27 is adjusted to a predetermined opening according to the amount of exchange heat desired to be obtained by the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28.

  The air conditioning refrigerant staying in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 dissipates heat to the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, condenses, and liquefies. The liquid refrigerant having a high density descends under the influence of gravity, passes through the air conditioning expansion valve 27, and flows from the cold water circulating in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 while flowing through the air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28. It absorbs heat and evaporates to gasify. At this time, since a pressure gradient due to the density difference of the refrigerant is generated, the evaporated refrigerant flows toward the intermediate heat exchanger 23. Similarly, the air-conditioning refrigerant staying in the heat-source-side heat exchanger 24 for air-conditioning is naturally circulated in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 due to the density difference by radiating heat to the atmosphere, condensing, and liquefying. Will be. In this manner, the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 is formed with a natural circulation cycle in which the air conditioning refrigerant naturally circulates.

  In the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, the cold water radiated to the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 drives the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52, passes through the air-conditioning cold / hot water pipe, and passes through the indoor heat. It flows into the exchanger 61. In the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat exchange is performed between the cold water in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning and the high-temperature air in the house 60, and the air in the house 60 is cooled. That is, the room of the house 60 is cooled. At this time, the cold water flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs heat from the air in the house 60 and is heated. The raised cold water is circulated in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 by the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52 and exchanges heat with the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while flowing through the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 again. And cooled to a predetermined temperature.

  On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the gas refrigerant compressed to a high temperature and high pressure by the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply circuit 9 and condenses and liquefies. At this time, in the hot water supply circuit 9, the supplied water becomes hot water at a predetermined temperature by receiving warm heat from the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 by the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The liquefied high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 to become a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. This gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant absorbs heat from the air-conditioning refrigerant while flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. That is, heat exchange between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant is performed in the intermediate heat exchanger 23. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41 and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant. In this operation mode, the intermediate heat exchanger 23 in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 functions as an evaporator using the heat of the air conditioning refrigerant that naturally circulates in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5.

  This operation mode No. In 4-1, since the air-conditioning refrigerant can be naturally circulated and the house 60 can be cooled without operating the air-conditioning compressor 21, the power consumption can be greatly reduced.

  Here, in order to efficiently cool the interior of the house 60, the natural circulation of the air-conditioning refrigerant must be continuously performed. However, there is a difference between the outside air temperature and the temperature in the house 60 (indoor temperature). If it is small, the density difference between the refrigerants becomes small, and it becomes difficult to stably operate by natural circulation. However, the operation mode No. 4-1, since the hot water supply operation by the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 is performed, the air conditioning refrigerant staying in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is forced by the hot water supply refrigerant flowing in the intermediate heat exchanger 23. Since heat is taken away, it is easy to condense and liquefy. That is, the natural circulation of the air-conditioning refrigerant is assisted by the heat (cold heat) of the hot-water supply refrigerant obtained in the hot water supply operation. Therefore, the efficiency of cooling by natural circulation of the air-conditioning refrigerant is improved, and the interior of the house 60 becomes comfortable.

“Operation mode No. 4-2 <Air-conditioning side natural circulation operation using hot water supply cycle>” (see FIG. 7)
Operation mode No. 4-2 is a mode in which the cooling operation is performed by naturally circulating the air-conditioning refrigerant in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while performing the hot-water supply operation by the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6, and the exhaust heat from the cooling operation is more than the heat absorption by the hot-water supply operation. This is an operation mode performed when the size is small. This operation mode No. 4-2 is a mode performed when the exhaust heat by the cooling operation is smaller than the heat absorption by the hot water supply operation, and therefore it is not necessary to use the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning. Therefore, the two-way valves 35c and 35d before and after the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 44 are closed so that the air-conditioning refrigerant does not flow through the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24.

  This operation mode No. In 4-2, the air conditioning compressor 21 is stopped, and the second air conditioning refrigerant branch 5c that bypasses the air conditioning compressor 21 is opened by the three-way valves 34a and 34b before and after the air conditioning compressor 21. Thus, a route (route indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 7) passing through the air conditioning compressor 21 is closed. Therefore, the air conditioning refrigerant circulates in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 bypassing the air conditioning compressor 21. The air conditioning expansion valve 27 is adjusted to a predetermined opening according to the amount of exchange heat desired to be obtained by the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28.

  The air conditioning refrigerant staying in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 dissipates heat to the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, condenses, and liquefies. The liquid refrigerant having a high density descends under the influence of gravity, passes through the air conditioning expansion valve 27, and flows from the cold water circulating in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 while flowing through the air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28. It absorbs heat and evaporates to gasify. At this time, since a pressure gradient due to the density difference of the refrigerant is generated, the evaporated refrigerant flows toward the intermediate heat exchanger 23. Thus, the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 has a natural circulation cycle in which the air-conditioning refrigerant circulates naturally.

  In the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, the cold water radiated to the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 drives the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52, passes through the air-conditioning cold / hot water pipe, and passes through the indoor heat. It flows into the exchanger 61. In the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat exchange is performed between the cold water in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning and the high-temperature air in the house 60, and the air in the house 60 is cooled. That is, the room of the house 60 is cooled. At this time, the cold water flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs heat from the air in the house 60 and is heated. The raised cold water is circulated in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 by the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52 and exchanges heat with the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while flowing through the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 again. And cooled to a predetermined temperature.

  On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the gas refrigerant compressed to a high temperature and high pressure by the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply circuit 9 and condenses and liquefies. At this time, in the hot water supply circuit 9, the supplied water becomes hot water at a predetermined temperature by receiving warm heat from the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 by the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The liquefied high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 to become a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. This gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows separately into the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44.

  The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 absorbs heat from the air-conditioning refrigerant and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. That is, heat exchange between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant is performed in the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant that has flowed through the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 also absorbs heat from the atmosphere and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant.

  This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41 and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant. In this operation mode, the intermediate heat exchanger 23 in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 functions as an evaporator using the heat of the air conditioning refrigerant that naturally circulates in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5.

  This operation mode No. In 4-2, the air-conditioning refrigerant can be naturally circulated and the house 60 can be cooled without operating the air-conditioning compressor 21, so that power consumption can be greatly reduced.

  Here, in order to efficiently cool the interior of the house 60, the natural circulation of the air-conditioning refrigerant must be continuously performed. However, there is a difference between the outside air temperature and the temperature in the house 60 (indoor temperature). If it is small, the density difference between the refrigerants becomes small, and it becomes difficult to stably operate by natural circulation. However, the operation mode No. In 4-2, since the hot water supply operation by the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 is performed, the air conditioning refrigerant staying in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is forced by the hot water supply refrigerant flowing in the intermediate heat exchanger 23. Since heat is taken away, it is easy to condense and liquefy. That is, the natural circulation of the air-conditioning refrigerant is assisted by the heat (cold heat) of the hot-water supply refrigerant obtained in the hot water supply operation. Therefore, the efficiency of cooling by natural circulation of the air-conditioning refrigerant is improved, and the interior of the house 60 becomes comfortable.

  Further, when the outside air temperature is equal to or higher than the dew point temperature in the house 60, the air in the house 60 is cooled and dehumidified only by allowing the air-conditioning refrigerant to exchange heat with the atmosphere and naturally circulating in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5. Is impossible. However, the operation mode No. In 4-2, the temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 can be arbitrarily adjusted by adjusting the valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43, so that heat is exchanged via the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The temperature of the air-conditioning refrigerant in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 can be adjusted to a desired temperature (a temperature that is not higher than the dew point temperature in the house 60). Therefore, even in an environment where the outside air temperature is equal to or higher than the dew point temperature in the house 60, the air in the house 60 can be cooled and dehumidified by the natural circulation cycle.

“Operation mode No. 5 <natural circulation operation using outside air>” (see FIG. 8)
Operation mode No. Reference numeral 5 denotes an operation mode in which the cooling operation is performed by naturally circulating the air-conditioning refrigerant in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 using the outside air while performing the hot-water supply operation by the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6. This operation mode No. 5, since the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is not used, the two-way valves 35 a, 35 b, and 49 b are closed so that the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant do not flow through the intermediate heat exchanger 23.

  This operation mode No. 5, the air-conditioning compressor 21 is stopped, and the second air-conditioning refrigerant branch 5 c that bypasses the air-conditioning compressor 21 is opened by the three-way valves 34 a and 34 b before and after the air-conditioning compressor 21. A route (route indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 8) passing through the air conditioning compressor 21 is closed. Therefore, the air conditioning refrigerant circulates in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 bypassing the air conditioning compressor 21. The air conditioning expansion valve 27 is adjusted to a predetermined opening according to the amount of exchange heat desired to be obtained by the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28.

  The air-conditioning refrigerant staying in the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 dissipates heat to the outside air, condenses, and liquefies. The liquid refrigerant having a high density descends under the influence of gravity, passes through the air conditioning expansion valve 27, and flows from the cold water circulating in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 while flowing through the air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28. It absorbs heat and evaporates to gasify. At this time, since a pressure gradient is generated due to the difference in density of the refrigerant, the evaporated refrigerant flows toward the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning. Thus, the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 has a natural circulation cycle in which the air-conditioning refrigerant circulates naturally.

  In the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, the cold water radiated to the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 drives the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52, passes through the air-conditioning cold / hot water pipe, and passes through the indoor heat. It flows into the exchanger 61. In the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat exchange is performed between the cold water in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning and the high-temperature air in the house 60, and the air in the house 60 is cooled. That is, the room of the house 60 is cooled. At this time, the cold water flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs heat from the air in the house 60 and is heated. The raised cold water is circulated in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 by the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52 and exchanges heat with the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 while flowing through the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 again. And cooled to a predetermined temperature.

  On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the gas refrigerant compressed to a high temperature and high pressure by the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply circuit 9 and condenses and liquefies. At this time, in the hot water supply circuit 9, the supplied water becomes hot water at a predetermined temperature by receiving warm heat from the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 by the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The liquefied high-pressure refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 to become a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. This gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows into the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44, absorbs heat from the atmosphere and evaporates, and becomes a low-pressure gas refrigerant. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41 and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant.

  This operation mode No. 5, the air conditioning refrigerant can be naturally circulated and the house 60 can be cooled without operating the air conditioning compressor 21, so that power consumption can be greatly reduced.

  Next, control of the air conditioning and hot water supply system performed by the control device 1a will be described with reference to FIG. The control device 1a calculates the result of calculation based on the input signals such as the command signal from the remote control, the detection signals of the temperature sensors TE1 to TE8, the detection signal of the outside air temperature sensor, and the like in the various operation mode Nos. 1-No. It is determined which of the operation mode selection conditions set in advance for each of 5 is satisfied, and the operation mode corresponding to the determination result is selected to perform the operation.

  In the first embodiment, parameters required for selecting an operation mode are set room temperature (Tr_st), set humidity (Hr_st), outside air temperature (Toa), cold water inlet temperature (Twbi), and cold water outlet setting. Temperature (Twb_st), hot water supply output (Qhw), water supply temperature (Twhi), and hot water temperature (Twho) are used.

  The set room temperature (Tr_st) is a room temperature set by a user with a remote controller or the like.

  The set humidity (Hr_st) is the room humidity set by the user with a remote controller or the like.

  The outside air temperature (Toa) is the temperature of the outside air measured by the outdoor unit.

  The cold water inlet temperature (Twbi) is a temperature measured by the cold / hot water system, specifically, a temperature measured by the temperature sensor TE1 of the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning.

  The cold water outlet set temperature (Twb_st) is a temperature determined by the control device 1a based on the set room temperature (Tr_st), the set humidity (Hr_st), and the cold water inlet temperature (Twbi).

  The hot water supply output (Qhw) is a value determined by the control device 1a from the user request and the water supply temperature (Twhi).

  The water supply temperature (Twhi) is a temperature measured by the heat source machine hot water supply system, specifically, a temperature measured by the temperature sensor TE7.

  The hot water temperature (Twho) is a temperature determined based on the set value of the hot water supply side outlet temperature (temperature measured by the temperature sensor TE8), the user's request, and the specifications on the air conditioning hot water supply system side.

  The control device 1a, at a predetermined timing, based on the input signal, (a) a request on the use side, (b) a condition regarding whether or not to operate the water heater, (c) a set room temperature Tr_st-function f1 (set room temperature Tr_st, set humidity Hr_st) (D) difference between the set room temperature Tr_st-function f2 (Tr_st, Hr_st) and the outside air temperature Toa, (e) difference between the chilled water outlet set temperature Twb_st and the chilled water inlet temperature Twbi, (f) compression (G) Endothermic amount-exhaust heat amount, that is, function f3 (Twb_st, Twbi, Toa) -function f4 (Qhw, Twhi, Twho, Toa) is obtained. And according to the result of said (a)-(g), the control apparatus 1a is operation pattern No.2. 1-No. 5 is determined.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, (a) is “cooling operation”, (b) is “user request = none”, (c) is “<0”, (d) is “<0”, ( When “e” is “> 0”, the control device 1a sets the operation mode No. Select 1. Also, (a) is “cooling operation”, (b) is “user request = present”, (c) is “<0”, (d) is “> 0”, and (e) is “ΔT3 <”. In addition, when “<ΔT6”, (f) is “after the predetermined time Time2 has elapsed since the compressor 21 for air conditioning is stopped or two compressors are operating”, and (g) is “<0”, the control device 1a Operation mode No. Select 4-1. In this way, the control device 1a selects a suitable operation mode according to the conditions. When (a) is “heating operation”, the operation mode No. is not related to (b) to (g). Select 3. In FIG. 9, Time1, Time2, Time3, ΔT3, ΔT4, and ΔT6 are values determined in advance according to the specifications of the air conditioning and hot water supply system.

  When the operation mode is actually switched, the cooling load fluctuates from moment to moment (2 compressors—1 compressor). Input difference = 0 is not used as a switching point, and input difference> x1 (x1> 0). ), It is possible to avoid frequent switching of operation modes by switching only to the hot water supply side, and switching to a double cycle compression operation with an input difference <x2 (x2 <0).

  Next, the operation mode No. using the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 as a compression cycle is shown. 1, no. 2-1. 2-2, No. 3, control of the rotation speed of the air conditioning compressor 21, control of the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27, and control of the rotation speed of the fan of the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning will be described. These controls are performed by the control device 1a.

  The fan of the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning is normally controlled at a constant rotational speed.

  The number of revolutions of the air conditioning compressor 21 is controlled according to the outlet temperature of the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 circulating in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and the target temperature (the indoor set temperature set by the user). This is done based on the deviation of the fixed value. In addition, the outlet temperature of the water-side use-side heat exchanger 28 for water conditioning is a value measured by the temperature sensor TE2 in the cooling operation, and is a value measured by the temperature sensor TE1 in the heating operation. In the cooling operation, the control device 1a decelerates the rotation speed of the air conditioning compressor 21 if “target temperature−outlet temperature> 0”, and the air conditioning compressor 21 if “target temperature−outlet temperature <0”. Increase the rotation speed of. The control in the heating operation is the same as in the cooling operation. If “target temperature−outlet temperature> 0”, the rotational speed of the air conditioning compressor 21 is increased, and if “target temperature−outlet temperature <0”, The rotational speed of the air conditioning compressor 21 is reduced.

  Control of the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is performed based on the suction temperature of the air conditioning compressor 21 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE3), the rotational speed of the air conditioning compressor 21, and the heat absorption source temperature. Specifically, the control device 1a is determined based on the rotation speed of the air conditioning compressor 21 and the heat absorption source temperature so that the degree of superheat of the low-pressure refrigerant gas in the suction of the air conditioning compressor 21 becomes a predetermined temperature. The change amount of the expansion valve opening is determined from the deviation between the target value of the suction temperature and the actually measured value, and the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is opened (+ pulse) or closed (−pulse). Here, as the heat absorption source temperature, “outside air temperature” is used in the heating operation, and in the cooling operation, “the inlet temperature of the air-conditioning use side heat exchanger 28 flowing in the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, that is, TE 1. “Measured temperature” is used. The calculation of the target value of the suction temperature may use a predetermined function, the suction temperature of the air conditioning compressor 21, the number of rotations of the air conditioning compressor 21, and the target values of the heat sink temperature and the suction temperature. May be used in advance. In addition, it may replace with the suction temperature of the compressor 21 for air conditioning, and you may control by discharge temperature (value measured with the temperature sensor TE4), and when discharge temperature is used, it is set as a control target with respect to disturbance. There is an advantage that the temperature is measured stably.

  Next, an operation mode No. using the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 as a compression cycle is shown. 1, no. 2-1. 2-2, No. 3, no. 4-1. 4-2, and no. 5, the control of the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41, the opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43, the rotation speed of the fan of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44, and the hot water supply flow rate are controlled by the controller 1 a. It is done as follows.

  The fan of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is normally controlled at a constant rotational speed.

  The hot water supply flow rate is controlled in response to a supply temperature of water flowing through the hot water supply circuit 9 (a value measured by the temperature sensor TE7) or a request from a hot water supply load side device (such as a bathtub) of the hot water supply circuit 9.

  The number of revolutions of the hot water supply compressor 41 is controlled by the temperature of the water supplied to the hot water supply circuit 9 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE8) and the hot water supplied to the bathtub (downstream of the hot water use side heat exchanger 42). Is performed according to a deviation from a target temperature (a value determined in consideration of a hot water supply set temperature set by a user). Specifically, in the hot water supply operation, the control device 1a increases the rotational speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 if “target temperature−hot water temperature> 0”, and if “target temperature−hot water temperature <0”. The rotational speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 is reduced.

  The valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 is controlled based on the suction temperature of the hot water supply compressor 41 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE5), the rotational speed of the hot water supply compressor 41, and the heat absorption source temperature. Specifically, the control device 1a is determined based on the rotational speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 and the heat absorption source temperature so that the degree of superheat of the low-pressure refrigerant gas in the suction of the hot water supply compressor 41 becomes a predetermined temperature. The amount of change in the expansion valve opening is determined from the deviation between the target value of the suction temperature and the actual measurement value, and the hot water supply expansion valve 43 is opened (+ pulse) or closed (−pulse). Here, the “outside air temperature” is used as the heat absorption source temperature. The calculation of the target value of the suction temperature may use a predetermined function, the suction temperature of the hot water supply compressor 41, the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41, and the target values of the heat absorption source temperature and the suction temperature. May be used in advance. In addition, it may replace with the suction temperature of the compressor 41 for hot water supply, and may control by discharge temperature (value measured by the temperature sensor TE6), and when discharge temperature is used, it is set as a control target with respect to disturbance. There is an advantage that the temperature is measured stably.

  Next, the operation mode No. using the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 as a natural circulation cycle is shown. 4-1. Control of the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 in 4-2, control of the valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43, control of the hot water supply flow rate, and control of the valve opening degree of the expansion valve 27 for air conditioning are performed by the control device 1a. It is done as follows.

(A1) In the case of operation mainly using hot water supply (when the hot water supply output is fixed)
The control described below may be used when, for example, an auxiliary air conditioner such as an air conditioner is installed in the room of the house 60.

  The hot water flow rate is a target determined from the target values of the temperature of the water flowing through the hot water supply circuit 9 (the value measured by the temperature sensor TE7) and the temperature of the hot water (the temperature of the hot water flowing downstream of the hot water use side heat exchanger 42). It is controlled according to the flow rate. Note that the hot water flow rate may be controlled to be increased or decreased by comparing the hot water temperature and the target value of the hot water temperature.

  The number of revolutions of the hot water supply compressor 41 is controlled by adjusting the outlet temperature of the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 in the hot water supply circuit 9, that is, the hot water outlet temperature (value measured by the temperature sensor TE8) and the target temperature (use of hot water). The value is determined according to a request from a person or a value determined by system specifications). Specifically, if “hot water supply target temperature−hot water supply outlet temperature <0”, the control device 1a decelerates the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41, and “hot water supply target temperature−hot water supply outlet temperature> 0”. The rotational speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 is increased. Note that the rotation speed control of the hot water supply compressor 41 may be performed based on the hot water supply temperature and the target temperature of the hot water supply.

  The control of the valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 includes the suction temperature of the hot water supply compressor 41 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE5), and the air conditioning use side heat exchange of water circulating in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8. Target value of the outlet temperature of the heater 28 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE2), the inlet temperature of the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE1), and the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 Is controlled based on the target value of the valve opening determined from the above and the measured value of the valve opening. Specifically, if “the target value of the valve opening—the measured value of the valve opening> 0”, the control device 1a opens (+ pulses) the valve opening of the hot water supply expansion valve 43, If the target value of the opening-the actual measurement value of the valve opening <0 ", the valve opening of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 is closed (-pulsed). Here, for the calculation of the target value of the valve opening, a predetermined function may be used, or the suction temperature of the hot water supply compressor 41 and the use for air conditioning of water circulating in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8. A table in which the target value of the outlet temperature of the side heat exchanger 28, the inlet temperature of the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28, and the target value of the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 and the valve opening is used in advance. May be. In addition, it may replace with the suction temperature of the compressor 41 for hot water supply, and may control by discharge temperature (value measured by temperature sensor TE6).

  Control of the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is controlled by a target outlet temperature of the air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28 for circulating water in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and an actually measured outlet temperature (measured by the temperature sensor TE2). The value is controlled based on the deviation from the value. Specifically, if “target outlet temperature−measured outlet temperature <0”, the control device 1a opens (+ pulses) the opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27, and “target outlet temperature—measured”. If the outlet temperature> 0, the opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is closed (-pulsed).

(B1) When driving mainly using air conditioning (when changing the hot water supply output)
The hot water supply flow rate supplied from the hot water supply circuit 9 includes the target outlet temperature of the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 circulating in the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, and the measured inlet temperature (value measured by the temperature sensor TE1) It is controlled according to the deviation. Specifically, the control device 1a increases the hot water flow rate if “target inlet temperature−measured inlet temperature <0”, and increases the hot water flow rate if “target inlet temperature−measured inlet temperature> 0”. Decrease.

  The number of revolutions of the hot water supply compressor 41 is controlled by adjusting the outlet temperature of the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 in the hot water supply circuit 9, that is, the hot water outlet temperature (value measured by the temperature sensor TE8) and the target temperature (use of hot water). And a value determined in consideration of the hot water supply set temperature set by the person). Specifically, if “hot water supply target temperature−hot water supply outlet temperature <0”, the control device 1a decelerates the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41, and “hot water supply target temperature−hot water supply outlet temperature> 0”. The rotational speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 is increased. Note that the rotation speed control of the hot water supply compressor 41 may be performed based on the hot water supply temperature and the target temperature of the hot water supply.

  The control of the valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 includes the suction temperature of the hot water supply compressor 41 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE5), and the air conditioning use side heat exchange of water circulating in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8. Target value of the outlet temperature of the heater 28 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE2), the inlet temperature of the air conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 (value measured by the temperature sensor TE1), and the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 Is controlled based on the target value of the valve opening determined from the above and the measured value of the valve opening. Specifically, if “the target value of the valve opening—the measured value of the valve opening> 0”, the control device 1a opens (+ pulses) the valve opening of the hot water supply expansion valve 43, If the target value of the opening-the actual measurement value of the valve opening <0 ", the valve opening of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 is closed (-pulsed). Here, for the calculation of the target value of the valve opening, a predetermined function may be used, or the suction temperature of the hot water supply compressor 41 and the use for air conditioning of water circulating in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8. A table in which the target value of the outlet temperature of the side heat exchanger 28, the inlet temperature of the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28, and the target value of the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41 and the valve opening is used in advance. May be. In addition, it may replace with the suction temperature of the compressor 41 for hot water supply, and may control by discharge temperature (value measured by temperature sensor TE6).

  Control of the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is controlled by a target outlet temperature of the air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28 for circulating water in the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and an actually measured outlet temperature (measured by the temperature sensor TE2). The value is controlled based on the deviation from the value. Specifically, if “target outlet temperature−measured outlet temperature <0”, the control device 1a opens (+ pulses) the opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27, and “target outlet temperature—measured”. If the outlet temperature> 0, the opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is closed (-pulsed).

  When the air-conditioning exhaust heat of the natural circulation type cycle is insufficient with respect to the heat absorption amount of the hot water supply cycle, the control device 1a detects the two-way valve upstream of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6. 49a is opened, and the fan of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is operated. Thereby, the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply amount refrigerant circuit 6 can absorb heat from the outside air via the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. Therefore, the shortage that cannot be covered by the heat absorption from the natural circulation cycle on the air conditioning side in the heat absorption amount required for the hot water supply cycle can be compensated by the heat absorption from the outside air. The shortage of the amount of heat absorption is due to the heat absorption amount estimated from the water supply temperature in the hot water supply circuit 9 (temperature measured by the temperature sensor TE7), the water supply flow rate or the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41, and the air conditioning in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning. This can be determined by the difference between the chilled water inlet temperature (temperature measured by the temperature sensor TE1) of the use side heat exchanger 28 and the necessary heat radiation amount estimated from the target value of the chilled water outlet temperature.

  Further, when the air-conditioning exhaust heat of the natural circulation type cycle is excessive with respect to the heat absorption amount of the hot water supply cycle, the control device 1a includes the two-way valves 35c before and after the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5. , 35d are opened, and the fan of the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning is operated. Thereby, the air-conditioning refrigerant that naturally circulates in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 can radiate heat to the outside air via the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24. Therefore, the air-conditioning exhaust heat remaining in the natural-circulation cycle after being radiated to the hot water supply cycle, that is, the excess air-conditioning exhaust heat can be radiated to the outside air. Excess heat exhaustion is the water supply temperature in the hot water supply circuit 9 (temperature measured by the temperature sensor TE7), the heat absorption amount estimated from the water supply flow rate or the rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41, and the air conditioning in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning. This can be determined by the difference between the chilled water inlet temperature (temperature measured by the temperature sensor TE1) of the usage-side heat exchanger 28 and the necessary heat radiation amount estimated from the target value of the chilled water outlet temperature.

  Next, effects of the air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10A is a refrigerant pressure-enthalpy diagram of the air conditioning hot water supply system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10B is a refrigerant pressure-enthalpy of the conventional air conditioning hot water supply system. FIG.

  In the cooling / hot-water supply operation in the conventional air-conditioning hot-water supply system, the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 is operated in a compression cycle at the time of cooling, and at the same time, the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 is operated in a compression cycle. As described above, the compression cycle on the air conditioning side operates in a circulation path of PA1 ′ → PA2 ′ → PA3 ′ → PA4 ′, and the compression cycle on the hot water supply side circulates in the order of PH1 ′ → PH2 ′ → PH3 ′ → PH4 ′. Operates on the path. Here, PA1 ′ is the state of the air-conditioning refrigerant in the suction port 21a of the air-conditioning compressor 21, PA2 ′ is the state of the air-conditioning refrigerant in the discharge port 21b of the air-conditioning compressor 21, and PA3 ′ is the state of the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The state of the air-conditioning refrigerant at the outlet, PA4 ′ is the state of the air-conditioning refrigerant at the inlet of the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28. Further, PH1 ′ is a state of the hot water supply refrigerant at the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41, PH2 ′ is a state of the hot water supply refrigerant at the discharge port 41b of the hot water supply compressor 41, and PH3 ′ is a use side heat exchanger for hot water supply. The state of the hot water supply refrigerant at the outlet of 42, PH4 ′ is the state of the hot water supply refrigerant at the inlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23.

  As apparent from FIG. 10B, when both the air conditioning side and the hot water supply side are operated in a compression cycle during cooling, the compression work WA ′ by the air conditioning compressor 21 and the compression work by the hot water supply compressor 41 are performed. A work amount W obtained by adding WH ′ is generated. That is, the work amount W = WA ′ + WH ′.

  On the other hand, when the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 is operated in a natural circulation cycle during cooling and the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 is operated in a compression cycle at the same time (for example, operation modes No. 4-1, No. 4). 4-2), as shown in FIG. 10 (a), the natural circulation type cycle on the air conditioning side operates in the circulation path of PA1 → PA2 → PA3, and the compression cycle on the hot water supply side is PH1 → PH2 → It operates in the circulation path of PH3 → PH4. Here, PA1 is the state of the air-conditioning refrigerant at the outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23, PA2 is the state of the air-conditioning refrigerant at the inlet of the air-conditioning use side exchanger 28, and PA3 is the air-conditioning refrigerant at the inlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 It is a state. Further, PH1 is the state of the hot water supply refrigerant at the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41, PH2 is the state of the hot water supply refrigerant at the discharge port 41b of the hot water supply compressor 41, and PH3 is the outlet of the hot water use side heat exchanger 42. The hot water supply refrigerant state PH4 is the hot water supply refrigerant state at the inlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23.

  As apparent from FIG. 10 (a), when the air conditioning side is operated in a natural circulation type cycle and the hot water supply side is operated in a compression cycle during cooling, the hot water supply side is operated in the compression cycle as described above. Thus, in order to assist the natural circulation type cycle on the air conditioning side, the compression work WH by the hot water supply compressor 41 is larger than the above compression work WH ′, but the compression work WA ′ by the air conditioning compressor 21 becomes unnecessary. When the air conditioning side is operated in a natural circulation cycle and the hot water supply side is operated in a compression cycle, the work amount W = WH. The compression work WH is smaller than the total value of the compression work WA ′ and the compression work WH ′. That is, the relationship of WH <WA ′ + WH ′ is established.

  Thus, when the air-conditioning side is operated by a natural circulation type cycle, the work amount can be reduced by the amount of compression work required by WA ′ + WH′−WH as the entire air-conditioning hot water supply system. In other words, according to the air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the first embodiment, the operation mode that combines the natural circulation cycle and the hot water supply cycle on the air conditioning side increases the operation efficiency, contributes to energy saving, and reduces the power consumption. A significant reduction can be achieved.

[Second Embodiment of the Present Invention]
Next, an air conditioning and hot water supply system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 11. The same reference numerals are used for the same configurations as those of the air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the first embodiment. The description is omitted. The air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the second embodiment is different from the air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the first embodiment in that a heat storage / hot water storage unit 7 is provided in the hot water supply circuit 9. This difference will be described in detail below.

  The heat storage / hot water storage unit 7 includes a hot water storage tank 70 and a heat storage tank 71, and the hot water storage tank 70 and the heat storage tank 71 use hot water supply pipes 72 and 73 that constitute the hot water supply circuit 9, respectively. Connected. The hot water storage tank 70 is a tank that can store heat and stores hot water generated by heat exchange with the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6. On the other hand, the heat storage tank 71 is a tank capable of storing heat, and the heat collected by the solar heat collector 74 is taken in. The water in the heat storage tank 71 is warmed to a temperature (intermediate temperature) between cold water and hot water by the solar heat collector 74. The water in the hot water supply circuit 9 flows in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 9 by driving the hot water supply circulation pump, and heat is exchanged with the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 to become hot water. And flows to the storage tank 70.

  The pipe for supplying hot water from the hot water storage tank 70 to the hot water supply load side equipment and the pipe for supplying intermediate temperature water from the heat storage tank 50 to the bathtub on the hot water supply load side are joined in the heat storage / hot water storage unit 7. A three-way valve (not shown) is provided at the junction of the pipe and the pipe. Moreover, a hot water supply pump (not shown) is provided in the pipe connected to the hot water supply load side device. According to the heat storage / hot water storage unit 7 configured in this way, the control device 1a operates the three-way valve to mix the hot water in the hot water storage tank 70 with the water at the intermediate temperature in the heat storage tank 50. It will be possible to supply hot water of a certain temperature to a bathtub or the like.

  By the way, although air conditioning (cooling) load is generated from daytime to evening in ordinary houses, hot water supply demand exists at night. That is, the time zone in which the cooling operation is mainly performed is different from the time zone in which the hot water supply operation is mainly performed (there is a deviation). Here, when there is no heat storage / hot water storage unit 7, for example, when a hot water supply circuit 9 and a hot water supply load side device (such as a bathtub) are directly connected, during the night time when hot water supply demand occurs. However, the operation in the operation mode (operation mode No. 4-1, No. 4-2) using the hot water supply cycle and the natural circulation cycle on the air conditioning side cannot be performed.

  However, in the air conditioning and hot water supply system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, since the heat storage / hot water storage unit 7 is provided, hot water stored in the heat storage tank 50 and the hot water storage tank 70 is supplied at an arbitrary time.

The air flows through the air conditioning expansion valve 27 and flows in the order of the first air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28a and the second air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28b. The liquefied air-conditioning refrigerant flows from the water flowing through the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 while sequentially flowing through the first air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28a and the second air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28b.

The liquefied air-conditioning refrigerant absorbs heat from the water flowing in the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and evaporates in the first air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28a and the second air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28b. Then, the air naturally passes through the air-conditioning refrigerant bypass pipe 29 and returns to the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24. When the third natural circulation path is formed, the two-way valve 35a, the two-way valve 35b, the two-way valve 35f, and the air conditioning auxiliary expansion valve 27b are closed, and the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is The valve opening is adjusted to an appropriate level.

  Next, the fourth natural circulation path is a path that follows a branch point C → a branch point J → a branch point F → a branch point C. In the fourth natural circulation path, the air-conditioning refrigerant liquefied by heat exchange with the atmosphere in the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 naturally flows into the air-conditioning refrigerant tank 26 due to the density difference, and the air-conditioning expansion It flows through the valve 27 to the first air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28a.
