- the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant passes through the hot water supply discharge electromagnetic valve 25, flows out of the heat source unit 301, and flows into the hot water supply unit 304 via the hot water supply gas extension pipe 15.
- the refrigerant flowing into the hot water supply unit 304 flows into the plate water heat exchanger 16, exchanges heat with the water supplied by the water supply pump 17, condenses into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and flows out from the plate water heat exchanger 16.
- the refrigerant that has heated the water in the plate water heat exchanger 16 flows out of the hot water supply unit 304 and flows into the heat source unit 301 via the hot water supply liquid extension pipe 26.
- the refrigerant that has flowed into the heat source unit 301 passes through the hot water supply decompression mechanism 19 that is fixed at the maximum opening degree, and is then distributed to the refrigerant that flows into the indoor decompression mechanism 7 and the refrigerant that flows into the receiver 24.
- the refrigerant flowing into the indoor decompression mechanism 7 is decompressed and then flows out of the heat source unit 301, and the refrigerant that flows into the utilization unit 303 via the liquid extension pipe 6 flows into the indoor heat exchanger 9 and is supplied by the indoor blower 10. It exchanges heat with indoor air and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant.
- the indoor pressure reducing mechanism 7 is controlled so that the degree of superheat on the gas side of the indoor heat exchanger 9 becomes a predetermined value.
- the method for obtaining the degree of superheat is the same as in the cooling operation mode.
- the refrigerant that has flowed through the indoor heat exchanger 9 then flows out of the use unit 303 and flows into the heat source unit 301 via the gas extension pipe 12.
- the refrigerant that has flowed into the heat source unit 301 passes through the third four-way valve 23 and then merges with the refrigerant that has passed through the outdoor heat exchanger 3.
- the refrigerant flowing into the receiver 24 passes through the outdoor decompression mechanism 5 whose opening is fixed to be slightly open and is decompressed to a low pressure, and is then heated by the outdoor air in the outdoor heat exchanger 3 to be a low-pressure gas refrigerant. Become. Thereafter, the refrigerant passes through the low pressure equalizing solenoid valve 27 and merges with the refrigerant that has passed through the indoor heat exchanger 9. After the merge, it is sucked into the compressor 1 again.
- the outdoor blower 4 controls the minimum air volume necessary for cooling the heat radiating plate, and controls the opening of the outdoor decompression mechanism 5 to be slightly opened.
- the operation frequency of the compressor 1 is controlled by the control unit 103 in response to a hot water supply request from the hot water supply unit 304.
- the cooling and hot water simultaneous operation mode is the cooling priority mode
- the operating frequency of the compressor 1 is determined from the difference between the indoor suction temperature and the indoor set temperature according to the cooling load of the use unit 303.
- the second embodiment In the cooling hot water supply simultaneous operation mode, the second embodiment.
- the operation in the hot water supply priority mode is performed in the first embodiment. It differs from the case of the air-conditioning hot-water supply complex system 100 concerning.
- FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of operations in the hot water supply priority mode and the cooling priority mode in the simultaneous cooling and hot water supply operation of the combined air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 according to the second embodiment.
- the hatching in FIG. 11 indicates the cooling capacity 602.
- the operating frequency of the compressor 1 is determined according to the hot water supply request signal of the hot water supply unit 304, so that the cooling capacity becomes larger than the cooling load. Therefore, when the cooling room temperature of the utilization unit 303 becomes lower than the indoor set temperature, the control unit 103 sets the cooling thermo-OFF to the hot water supply operation.
- the control unit 103 performs control to close the indoor pressure reducing mechanism 7, close the low pressure equalizing electromagnetic valve 27, and switch the four-way valve 23 to a broken line to perform a hot water supply operation.
- the switching of the four-way valve 23 requires a differential pressure before and after.
- the control of ensuring the differential pressure is performed after the four-way valve 23 is controlled. Switch. That is, after closing the low-pressure equalizing solenoid valve 27, the air-conditioning discharge solenoid valve 22 is kept open for a certain time, the pressure on the outdoor heat exchanger 3 gas side increases, and the differential pressure across the four-way valve 23 is secured.
- the air-conditioning discharge electromagnetic valve 22 is closed again and the four-way valve 23 is switched. Further, when the cooling room temperature (suction air temperature) of the use unit 303 becomes higher than the indoor set temperature (cooling set temperature), the hot water supply priority mode of the simultaneous cooling and hot water supply operation is performed again. That is, the indoor pressure reducing mechanism 7 is opened, the four-way valve 23 is switched to the broken line, and the low pressure equalizing solenoid valve 27 is controlled to be opened. When there is no hot water supply request from the hot water supply unit 304 and the hot water supply is completed, the cooling operation is performed. In this operation, since the operating frequency of the compressor 1 is increased to increase the hot water supply capacity, the hot water supply can be completed in a short time.
- the control unit 103 performs the suction air temperature of the usage unit 303. Until the temperature becomes higher than the indoor set temperature, the cooling operation of the use unit 303 is stopped.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a time change of the indoor suction temperature with respect to the cooling thermo ON / OFF determination in the hot water supply priority mode of the cooling hot water supply simultaneous operation mode.
- Two circles 501 and 502 indicate calculated values of the indoor suction temperature after a certain time. Eight circles without symbols indicate measured data.
- FIG. 12 shows the time change of the indoor suction temperature with respect to the cooling thermo ON / OFF.
- the past indoor intake temperature data (an example of intake air temperature change data) is stored in the memory (storage unit 105), and the operation unit 102 simulates the indoor intake temperature after a predetermined time from the past and current indoor intake temperatures.
- the control unit 103 may use the cooling thermo ON / OFF determination criterion. For example, assuming that the indoor suction temperature is proportional to the time from one minute before and the current indoor suction temperature, the calculation unit 102 obtains the indoor suction temperature after one minute.
- the past data to be referenced may be one or more points, and the calculation accuracy is improved by obtaining the indoor suction temperature after a predetermined time with more data.
- the control unit 103 thermo-OFFs the cooling operation and performs the hot water supply operation.
- the control unit 103 gives priority to hot water supply in the cooling hot water simultaneous operation mode as the cooling thermo-ON. By controlling in this way, it is possible to prevent the room from becoming too cold, and the comfort is not impaired.
- the storage unit 105 stores the indoor suction temperature data indicating the change with time of the suction air temperature of the utilization unit 303 during the simultaneous operation of the cooling operation and the hot water supply operation.
- the calculation unit 102 simulates a change over time in the intake air temperature based on the indoor intake temperature data stored in the storage unit 105. Then, when performing the simultaneous operation of the cooling operation and the hot water supply operation, the control unit 103 stops the cooling operation of the use unit 303 during the period when the intake air temperature is lower than the indoor set temperature in the result of the simulation of the calculation unit 102. To do.
- the cooling and hot water simultaneous operation mode is performed in the cooling priority mode, it is the same as the combined air conditioning and hot water system according to the first embodiment. That is, since the operating frequency of the compressor 1 is determined according to the cooling load of the utilization unit 303, the cooling capacity and the cooling load are equal. The cooling room temperature of the use unit 303 is controlled to the room set temperature. When there is no hot water supply request from the hot water supply unit 304 and the hot water supply is completed, the cooling operation is performed. In this operation, since the operating frequency of the compressor 1 is set lower than that in the operation with priority to hot water supply, hot water can be supplied with high efficiency. However, since the hot water supply capacity is reduced, it takes time to complete the hot water supply.
- the air conditioning and hot water supply according to the first embodiment is used even when the exhaust heat of the cooling is completely recovered as the hot water supply, as in the air conditioning and hot water supply combined system 200 according to the second embodiment.
- the priority operation determination threshold value M as in the case of the combined system 200, it is possible to appropriately estimate the amount of heat required for hot water supply. That is, the control unit 103 supplies hot water with high efficiency in the cooling priority mode when the amount of heat required for hot water supply is small, and prevents hot water supply by supplying hot water in the hot water priority mode when the amount of heat required for hot water supply is large. Is possible.
- the hot water supply priority mode when the cooling room temperature of the use unit 303 becomes lower than the indoor set temperature, the cooling thermo is turned off, and the hot water supply operation is performed. By performing the hot water supply priority mode, it is possible to shorten the hot water supply time while cooling without impairing indoor comfort.
- the air conditioning and hot water supply combined system 100 (cooling hot water supply apparatus) has been described.
- the operation of the air conditioning and hot water supply combined system 100 can be grasped as a cooling hot water supply method. That is, as a cooling hot water supply method in which the control device 103 executes the control described in the above embodiment for the hot water supply device including the heat source unit 301, the use units 303a and 303b, the hot water supply unit 304, the measurement unit 101, and the like. I can grasp it.

以下、図1~図8を参照して、実施の形態1について説明する。図1は、実施の形態1における空調給湯複合システム100(冷房給湯装置)の冷媒回路構成図である。なお、図1を含め、以下の図面では各構成部材の大きさの関係が実際のものと異なる場合がある。また、この明細書では、数式に使用する記号で初めて文中にでてくるものには、[ ]の中にその記号の単位を書くことにする。そして、無次元(単位なし)の場合は、[-]と表記する。
この空調給湯複合システム100は、蒸気圧縮式の冷凍サイクル運転を行うことによって、利用ユニットにおいて選択された冷房運転又は暖房運転と給湯ユニットにおける給湯運転とを同時に処理することができる3管式のマルチシステム空調給湯複合システムである。この空調給湯複合システム100は、冷房運転を行っている場合、給湯ユニットで給湯運転を実行することによって、冷房運転での排熱の回収が可能となり、高効率かつ給湯完了までの時間を長くならないようにして湯切れを防止することができる空調給湯複合システムである。
空調給湯複合システム100は、熱源ユニット301と、分岐ユニット302と、利用ユニット303と、給湯ユニット304と、給湯タンク305と、を有している。熱源ユニット301と分岐ユニット302とは、冷媒配管である液延長配管6と冷媒配管であるガス延長配管12とで接続されている。給湯ユニット304は一方が冷媒配管である給湯ガス延長配管15を介して熱源ユニット301に接続され、他方が冷媒配管である給湯液配管18を介して分岐ユニット302に接続されている。利用ユニット303と分岐ユニット302とは、冷媒配管である室内ガス配管11と冷媒配管である室内液配管8とで接続されている。また、給湯タンク305と給湯ユニット304とは水配管である水上流配管20と水配管である水下流配管21とで接続されている。
空調給湯複合システム100が実行可能な運転モードについて簡単に説明する。空調給湯複合システム100では、接続されている給湯ユニット304の給湯負荷、及び、利用ユニット303の冷房負荷又は暖房負荷の割合によって、熱源ユニット301の運転モードが決定されるようになっている。空調給湯複合システム100は、以下の3つの運転モード(冷房運転モード、暖房給湯同時運転モード、冷房給湯同時運転モード)を実行することが可能となっている。
利用ユニット303は分岐ユニット302を介して、熱源ユニット301に接続している。利用ユニット303は、空調対象域に調和空気を吹き出すことができる場所(たとえば、屋内の天井への埋め込みや吊り下げ等により、又は、壁面への壁掛け等)に設置されている。利用ユニット303は、分岐ユニット302と液延長配管6及びガス延長配管12とを介して熱源ユニット301に接続されており、冷媒回路の一部を構成している。

(2)室内熱交換器9のガス側に設けられ、ガス冷媒の温度を検出する室内ガス温度センサ207;
(3)利用ユニット303の室内空気の吸入口側に設けられ、ユニット内に流入する室内空気の温度を検出する室内吸込温度センサ208;
給湯ユニット304は分岐ユニット302を介して、熱源ユニット301に接続している。図2に示すように、給湯ユニット304は、たとえば屋外等に設置された給湯タンク305に温水を供給し、給湯タンク305内の水を加熱して湯を沸き上げる機能を有している。また、給湯ユニット304は、一方が給湯ガス延長配管15を介して熱源ユニット301に接続されており、他方が給湯液配管18を介して分岐ユニット302に接続されており、空調給湯複合システム100における媒回路の一部を構成している。
(1)プレート水熱交換器16の液側に設けられ、液冷媒の温度を検出する給湯液温度センサ209;

(3)給湯ユニット304の水の出口側に設けられ、ユニット内から流出する水の温度を検出する出口水温センサ211;
給湯タンクはたとえば屋外に設置されており、給湯ユニット304により沸きあげられた湯を貯留する機能を有している。また、給湯タンク305は、一方が水上流配管20を介して給湯ユニット304に接続されており、他方が水下流配管21を介して給湯ユニット304に接続されており、空調給湯複合システム100における水回路304-1の一部を構成している。すなわち、図2に示すように、水上流配管20、水下流配管21及び給水ポンプ17は、プレート水熱交換器16による加熱対象となる水の循環する水回路304-1を構成する。給湯タンク305は満水式であり、使用者が湯を消費するとタンク上部より湯が出水し、その量に応じてタンク下部より市水が給水される。

(2)第1給湯タンク水温センサ212の下部に設けられ、第1給湯タンク水温センサ212の設置位置よりも下部のタンクの湯温を検出する第2給湯タンク水温センサ213;(3)第2給湯タンク水温センサ213の下部に設けられ、第2給湯タンク水温センサ213の設置位置よりも下部のタンクの湯温を検出する第3給湯タンク水温センサ214;(4)給湯タンク305のタンク下部側面に設けられ、タンク下部の湯温を検出する第4給湯タンク水温センサ215;
(5)給湯タンク305のタンク下部より給水される水の温度を検出する給水温センサ216;
熱源ユニット301は、たとえば屋外に設置されており、液延長配管6とガス延長配管12と分岐ユニット302を介して利用ユニット303に接続されている。また、給湯ガス延長配管15、液延長配管6及び分岐ユニット302を介して給湯ユニット304に接続されており、空調給湯複合システム100における冷媒回路の一部を構成している。
図4は、運転モードに対する四方弁の動作内容を示す図である。図4に表示されている「実線」及び「破線」は、図1に示している第1四方弁2と第2四方弁13との切り換え状態を表している「実線」及び「破線」を意味している。
(1)圧縮機1の吐出側に設けられ、高圧側圧力を検出する高圧圧力センサ201(高圧検出装置);
(2)圧縮機1の吐出側に設けられ、吐出温度を検出する吐出温度センサ202;
(3)室外熱交換器3のガス側に設けられ、ガス冷媒温度を検出する室外ガス温度センサ203;
(4)室外熱交換器3の液側に設けられ、液冷媒の温度を検出する室外液温度センサ204;
(5)熱源ユニット301の室外空気の吸入口側に設けられ、ユニット内に流入する室外空気の温度を検出する外気温度センサ205;
分岐ユニット302は、たとえば屋内に設置され、液延長配管6とガス延長配管12を介して熱源ユニット301とに接続され、室内液配管8と室内ガス配管11とを介して利用ユニット303と接続され、給湯液配管18とを介して給湯ユニット304に接続されており、空調給湯複合システム100における冷媒回路の一部を構成している。分岐ユニット302は、利用ユニット303及び給湯ユニット304に要求されている運転に応じて冷媒の流れを制御する機能を有している。
なお、給湯減圧機構19の動作は、図3に示すように、給湯ユニット304の給湯運転モードを含む通常運転を行う通常運転制御手段として機能するシステム制御装置110の制御部103によって制御される。また、図3に示すように、室内減圧機構7の動作は、利用ユニット303の冷房運転モード及び暖房運転モードを含む通常運転を行う通常運転制御手段として機能する制御部103によって制御される。
空調給湯複合システム100は、利用ユニット303に要求されるそれぞれの運転負荷及び給湯ユニット304に要求される給湯要求信号に応じて熱源ユニット301、分岐ユニット302及び利用ユニット303、給湯ユニット304に搭載されている各機器の制御を行い、冷房運転モード、暖房給湯同時運転モード、冷房給湯同時運転モード、を実行する。冷房給湯同時運転モードでは冷房の排熱を給湯に利用することができるため、高効率となる。
具体的には、制御部103は、
ΔTwm<M
の場合には、冷房優先モードで運転する。
冷房優先モードとは、制御部103が、測定部101によって検出された室内吸込温度(測定部101が室内吸込温度センサ208を介して検出)と、予め保有する利用ユニット303の室内設定温度(例えばリモコン、あるいは利用ユニット303から制御部103が受信)との差温に応じて圧縮機1の運周波数を制御するモードである。
またΔTwm≧M
の場合には、制御部103は、給湯優先モードで運転する。
給湯優先モードとは、制御部103が、設定給湯温度Twsetと測定部101によって検出された給湯タンク305内の水温(測定部101が第1給湯タンク水温センサ212~215等を介して検出)との差温に応じて圧縮機1の運転周波数を制御するモードである。
空調給湯複合システム100が行う冷房運転モード、暖房給湯同時運転モード、冷房給湯同時運転モードの具体的な動作内容を説明する。各運転モードにおける四方弁の動作は図4に示す通りである。
冷房運転モードでは利用ユニット303が冷房運転モードとなる。冷房運転モードでは第1四方弁2が実線で示される状態、すなわち、圧縮機1の吐出側が室外熱交換器3のガス側に接続された状態となっている。また、第2四方弁13が実線で示される状態、すなわち、圧縮機1の吸入側がガス延長配管12を経由して室内熱交換器9に接続される状態となっている。
暖房給湯同時運転モードでは利用ユニット303が暖房運転モードとなり、給湯ユニット304が給湯運転モードとなる。暖房給湯同時運転モードでは、第1四方弁2が破線で示される状態、すなわち圧縮機1の吐出側がプレート水熱交換器16のガス側に接続され、圧縮機1の吸入側が室外熱交換器3のガス側に接続される。また、第2四方弁13が破線で示される状態、すなわち圧縮機1の吐出側が室内熱交換器9のガス側に接続される。
冷房給湯同時運転モードでは利用ユニット303は冷房運転モード、給湯ユニット304は給湯運転モードとなる。冷房給湯同時運転モードでは第1四方弁2が破線で示される状態、すなわち圧縮機1の吐出側が給湯ガス延長配管15を経由してプレート水熱交換器16に接続され、かつ、圧縮機1の吸入側が室外熱交換器3のガス側に接続される。また、第2四方弁13は実線で示される状態、すなわち、圧縮機1の吸入側がガス延長配管12を経由して室内熱交換器9に接続される状態となっている。
(2)また、冷房給湯同時運転モードが冷房優先モードの場合、圧縮機1の運転周波数は利用ユニット303の冷房負荷に応じて室内吸込温度と室内設定温度の差温より決定されるため、室外熱交換器3にて吸熱を行う必要がない。
そのため、室外減圧機構5の開度は微開になるように制御部103により制御され、室外送風機4は停止となるように制御部103により制御される。
図6は、冷房優先モードと給湯優先モードとの切り換えを示す図である。図6に示すように、優先運転判定閾値M[℃]を設定する。そして、制御部103は、前記式1の給湯差温ΔTwmが優先運転判定閾値M[℃]よりも低い場合は冷房優先モードにて運転を行い、給湯差温ΔTwmが優先運転判定閾値M[℃]以上の場合は給湯優先にて運転を行う。給湯タンク305は満水式であるため、給湯タンク305内の水量は常に一定となる。そのため、このようにすることで、給湯に必要な熱量を適切に見積もることが可能である。給湯完了までに熱量を多く必要としない場合では冷房優先で運転をし、高効率に給湯をし、熱量を多く必要とする場合には給湯優先にて給湯時間が長引くのを防ぎ、湯切れを防止可能となる。
実施の形態1の給湯タンク305に設けられている温度センサを用いて、演算部102は、次式2により給湯タンク熱量QTANK[KJ]を演算する。
ρw[kg/m3]は水の密度、
Cp,w[kJ/(kgK)]は水の比熱、
VTANK,1[L]は給湯タンク305の上部から第1給湯タンク水温センサ212設置高さまでの給湯タンク内容積、
VTANK,2[L]は給湯タンク305の上部から第2給湯タンク水温センサ213設置高さまでの給湯タンク内容積、
VTANK,3[L]は給湯タンク305の上部から第3給湯タンク水温センサ214設置高さまでの給湯タンク内容積、
VTANK,4[L]は給湯タンク305の上部から第4給湯タンク水温センサ215設置高さまでの給湯タンク内容積である。
給湯タンクの断面積は機器仕様にて既知であるため、各センサの設置高さを予め設計時に決定しておくことで、各内容積を演算可能となる。
TTANK,1[℃]は第1給湯タンク水温センサ212の検出温度、
TTANK,2[℃]は第2給湯タンク水温センサ213の検出温度、
TTANK,3[℃]は第3給湯タンク水温センサ214の検出温度、
TTANK,4[℃]は第4給湯タンク水温センサ215の検出温度である。
また、TTANKWi[℃]は給水温センサ216の検出温度である。
以上により、給湯タンク305の蓄積熱量を演算することが可能である。
また、例えば、演算部102は、給湯タンク305内の湯温が給湯温度Tw,setに達したとしてTTANK,1、TTANK,2、TTANK,3、TTANK,4をTw,setにして給湯タンク305熱量QTANKを演算する。そして、制御部103は、この演算値に対して現在の給湯タンク305の温度センサ情報から演算したQTANKの演算値が半分(所定の熱量)以下であった場合は、給湯差温ΔTwmに係わらず給湯優先運転モードとする。具体的には、制御部103は、冷房運転と給湯運転との同時運転を実行中に、給湯タンク305に蓄積されている蓄積熱量を演算する演算部102(蓄積熱量演算部)から蓄積熱量を入力する。制御部103は、演算部102から入力した蓄積熱量が所定の熱量よりも小さい場合には、給湯優先モードを実行する。この制御によって湯切れの防止になる。実施の形態1に係わる給湯タンクではタンク側面の温度センサの設置数を4つにしているが、この数に限定されない。タンク高さ方向により多くの温度センサを設置することによって給湯タンク305熱量を高精度に演算することが可能である。
分子の第2項は冷房能力であり、給湯能力Qwと圧縮機入力WCOMPの差となる。WCOMPは冷凍サイクルの運転状態から次式にて演算される。
Gr[kg/s]は圧縮機吐出部の冷媒循環量であり、高圧圧力センサ201により検出される圧力の飽和温度(凝縮温度)と、室内液温度センサ206により検出される温度(蒸発温度)と、圧縮機周波数により決定される。
hd[kJ/kg]は圧縮機吐出部の比エンタルピーであり、高圧圧力センサ201により検出される圧力と吐出温度センサ202により検出される温度により演算される。
hs[kJ/kg]は圧縮機吸入部の比エンタルピーであり、アキュムレータ回路であるため、吸入過熱度が0となり、室内液温度センサ206より演算される。
また、Qwは給湯ユニット304に供給する水の出入口温度差により次式にて演算される。
ρw[kg/m3]は水の密度、
Cp,w[kJ/(kg℃)]は水の比熱、
Vw[m3/s]は水の流量、
Two[℃]はプレート水熱交換器16出口の水温、
Twiはプレート水熱交換器16入口の水温となる。
以上により制御部103は運転状態から運転効率(COP)を演算できる。制御部103は、COPが一定値以下になった場合、強制的に給湯優先モードにて運転を行うようにする。
このように、制御部103は、冷房優先モードを実行中に、冷房優先モードの運転効率(COP)を演算する演算部(運転効率演算部)から冷房優先モードの運転効率(COP)を入力し、入力した運転効率(COP)が所定の値以下の場合には、実行中の冷房優先モードを給湯優先モードに切り換える。
例えば、冷房給湯同時運転モード中に冷房優先モード、あるいは給湯優先モードと表示部に表示させておく。そして、使用者が急に湯の消費量が多くなることを認識した場合に、リモコン(操作部)にて強制的に給湯優先モードを指定することで、湯切れの発生を防止することができる。
また、その他に、冷房運転モード、暖房給湯同時運転モード、冷房給湯同時運転モードなどの表示をさせるようにしても、使用者が運転状態を把握しやすいので良い。
つまり、利用ユニット303は、図1に示すように、表示部303-1、操作部303-2を備えている。表示部303-1は、現在の運転モードが冷房優先モードであるか給湯優先モードであるかを表示する。操作部303-2は、所定の操作がされた場合に、表示部303-1に表示された現在の優先モードから他方の優先モードへの切り換えを指令する切替指令信号を出力する。そして、制御部103は、操作部303-2から出力された切替指令信号を入力し、切替指令信号を入力すると、現在の優先モードを他方の優先モードに切り換える。またリモコンによる場合には、制御部103は、現在の運転モードが冷房優先モードであるか給湯優先モードであるかを表示する表示部を有するリモコンであって、前記表示部に表示された現在の優先モードから他方の優先モードへの切り換えを指令する切替指令信号を出力するリモコンから、切替指令信号を入力し、切替指令信号を入力すると、現在の優先モードを他方の優先モードに切り換える。
このように、制御部103は、冷房運転と給湯運転との同時運転を実行中に、室外熱交換器3の凝縮温度CTを演算する演算部102(凝縮温度演算部)から凝縮温度CTを入力する。そして制御部103は、給湯差温ΔTwmに代えて、設定給湯温度Twsetと、凝縮温度CTとの差温ΔT(次式7)を使用する。
以下、図9~図12を参照して実施の形態2を説明する。
図9は、実施の形態2に係る空調給湯複合システム200の冷媒回路構成を示す冷媒回路図である。図9に基づいて、空調給湯複合システム200の構成及び動作について説明する。実施の形態2の空調給湯複合システム200もシステム制御装置110を備えている。なお、この実施の形態2では上述した実施の形態1との相違点を中心に説明するものとし、実施の形態1と同一作用である部分には、同一符号を付して説明を省略するものとする。
空調給湯複合システム200は、熱源ユニット301と、利用ユニット303と、給湯ユニット304と、給湯タンク305とを有している。なお、実施の形態2に係わる空調給湯複合システム200では利用ユニットは1台であるため、利用ユニット303に係わる構成要素の表記に関して数字の後ろのアルファベットを未記載としている。熱源ユニット301と利用ユニット303とは、冷媒配管である液延長配管6と冷媒配管であるガス延長配管12とで接続されている。熱源ユニット301と給湯ユニット304とは、冷媒配管である給湯ガス延長配管15と冷媒配管である給湯液延長配管26とで接続されている。給湯ユニット304と給湯タンク305とは水配管である水上流配管20と水配管である水下流配管21とで接続されている。
利用ユニット303と給湯ユニット304の冷媒回路の構成は実施の形態1に係わる空調給湯複合システム100と同様である。また、給湯タンク305の水回路の構成は実施の形態1に係わる空調給湯複合システム100と同様である。熱源ユニット301の回路構成は、実施の形態1に係わる空調給湯複合システム100から第1四方弁2と、第2四方弁13と、アキュムレータ14とを外し、冷媒の流れる方向を制御する空調吐出電磁弁22と、給湯吐出電磁弁25と、低圧均圧電磁弁27と、冷媒の流れる方向を切り換える第3四方弁23と、余剰冷媒を貯留するためのレシーバ24と、を設置したものとなっている。つまり、熱源ユニット301に備えられている室外側冷媒回路は、圧縮機1と、第3四方弁23と、室外熱交換器3と、室外送風機4と、室外減圧機構5と、レシーバ24と、空調吐出電磁弁22と、給湯吐出電磁弁25と、低圧均圧電磁弁27とを、要素機器として有している。
空調給湯複合システム200は、実施の形態1に係わる空調給湯複合システム100と同様に、3つの運転モード(冷房運転モード、暖房給湯同時運転モード、冷房給湯運転モード)を実行することができる。
図10は、空調給湯複合システム200の熱源ユニット301の運転モードに対する、四方弁23等の動作内容を示す図である。各運転モードにおける四方弁及び電磁弁の動作は図10に示す通りである。また、実施の形態1に係わる空調給湯複合システム100と同様に、冷房給湯運転モードでは給湯ユニット304の給湯要求に応じて圧縮機1の運転周波数を決定する給湯優先モードと、利用ユニット303の冷房負荷によって圧縮機1の運転周波数を決定する冷房優先モードがある。
冷房運転モードでは第3四方弁23が実線で示される状態、すなわち、圧縮機1の吐出側が室外熱交換器3のガス側に接続された状態となり、圧縮機1の吸入側が室内熱交換器9のガス側に接続された状態となっている。また、空調吐出電磁弁22は開に、給湯吐出電磁弁25は閉に、低圧均圧電磁弁27は閉になっている。この冷媒回路の状態で、制御部103は、圧縮機1、室外送風機4、室内送風機10を起動する。そうすると、低圧のガス冷媒は、圧縮機1に吸入され、圧縮されて高温・高圧のガス冷媒となる。その後、高温・高圧のガス冷媒は、第3四方弁23を経由して、室外熱交換器3に流入し、室外送風機4によって供給される室外空気と熱交換を行なって凝縮され、高圧のガス冷媒となる。
暖房給湯同時運転モードでは、第3四方弁23が破線で示される状態、すなわち圧縮機1の吐出側が室内熱交換器9のガス側に接続され、圧縮機1の吸入側が室外熱交換器3のガス側に接続される。また、空調吐出電磁弁22は開に、給湯吐出電磁弁25は開に、低圧均圧電磁弁27は閉になっている。この冷媒回路の状態で、圧縮機1、室外送風機4、室内送風機10、給水ポンプ17、を起動する。そうすると、低圧のガス冷媒は、圧縮機1に吸入され、圧縮されて高温・高圧のガス冷媒となる。その後、高温・高圧のガス冷媒は、給湯吐出電磁弁25又は空調吐出電磁弁22を流れるように分配される。
冷房給湯同時運転モードでは第3四方弁23が実線で示される状態、すなわち圧縮機1の吐出側が室外熱交換器3ガス側に接続され、かつ、圧縮機1の吸入側が室内熱交換器9のガス側に接続される。また、空調吐出電磁弁22は閉に、給湯吐出電磁弁25は開に、低圧均圧電磁弁27は開になっている。この冷媒回路の状態で、圧縮機1、室外送風機4、室内送風機10、給水ポンプ17、を起動すると、低圧のガス冷媒は、圧縮機1に吸入され、圧縮されて高温・高圧のガス冷媒となる。その後、高温・高圧のガス冷媒は、給湯吐出電磁弁25に通過して熱源ユニット301を流出し、給湯ガス延長配管15を経由して給湯ユニット304に流入する。給湯ユニット304に流入した冷媒は、プレート水熱交換器16に流入し、給水ポンプ17によって供給される水と熱交換を行って凝縮して高圧の液冷媒となり、プレート水熱交換器16より流出する。プレート水熱交換器16にて水を加熱した冷媒は、給湯ユニット304を流出し、給湯液延長配管26を経由して熱源ユニット301に流入する。
このように、制御部103は、冷房運転と給湯運転との同時運転を実行中に、利用ユニット303の吸込空気温度が室内設定温度よりも低くなった場合には、利用ユニット303の吸込空気温度が室内設定温度よりも高くなるまで、利用ユニット303の冷房運転を停止する。
図12は、冷房給湯同時運転モードの給湯優先モードにおける、冷房サーモON/OFF判定に対する室内吸込温度の時間変化を示す図である。丸印501、502の2つは、一定時間後の室内吸込温度の演算値を示す。符号のついていない8つの丸印は実測データを示す。一定時間後の室内吸込温度の演算値による冷房サーモON/OFF判定に関して、図12に冷房サーモON/OFFに対する室内吸込温度の時間変化を示す。過去の室内吸込温度データ(吸込空気温度変化データの一例)をメモリ(記憶部105)に記憶しておき、演算部102によって、過去と現在の室内吸込温度から一定時間後の室内吸込温度をシミュレーションして、制御部103による冷房サーモON/OFFの判断基準に用いてもよい。例えば、1分前と現在の室内吸込温度から時間に対して室内吸込温度が比例するとして演算部102により1分後の室内吸込温度を求める。参照する過去データは1点以上あってもよく、より多くのデータにて一定時間後の室内吸込温度を求めることで演算精度が向上する。制御部103は、一定時間後の室内吸込温度が室内設定温度よりも低くなったら冷房運転をサーモOFFし、給湯運転を実施する。また、制御部103は、一定時間後の室内吸込温度が冷房判定閾値より高くなったら冷房サーモONとして冷房給湯同時運転モードの給湯優先を行う。このように制御することで、室内の冷えすぎを防止することができ、快適性を損なわない。
このように、記憶部105は、冷房運転と給湯運転との同時運転の実行中における利用ユニット303の吸込空気温度の時間経過に伴う変化を示す室内吸込温度データを記憶している。
演算部102は、記憶部105に記憶された室内吸込温度データに基づいて吸込空気温度の経時変化をシミュレーションする。そして制御部103は、冷房運転と給湯運転との同時運転を実行する場合に、演算部102のシミュレーションの結果において吸込空気温度が室内設定温度よりも低い期間では、利用ユニット303の冷房運転を停止する。
