Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air conditioner capable of simultaneously performing heating for warming indoor air and hot water supply for heating water, and particularly relates to an air conditioner for continuously heating during hot water supply.
- a heat pump heat source system that simultaneously performs a heating operation for warming indoor air and a hot water supply operation for storing heat in a hot water storage tank is known as a hot water supply application.
- heating and hot water supply can be performed in one system. For this reason, compared with the case where it builds with a separate system, an installation space can be made small. As a result, it is possible to provide a system including both heating and hot water supply even for a property with large installation restrictions.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a system capable of selectively performing hot water supply and heating with hot water for one heat pump heat source device.
- the secondary refrigerant water, brine, etc.
- the primary refrigerant HFC refrigerant, etc.
- the secondary refrigerant is used for heating the hot water tank and hot water heating
- a hot water supply request occurs during hot water heating
- coolant falls and hot water heating cannot be performed (or temperature does not rise enough).
- the capacity of the heat pump may be increased, the size becomes large, and the merit of downsizing by using the secondary refrigerant for both the heating of the hot water supply tank and the hot water heating cannot be obtained.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and provides an air conditioner capable of preventing a temperature drop of a room during hot water heating during hot water supply while suppressing an increase in the capacity of the heat pump. With the goal.
- An air conditioner according to the present invention is an air conditioner configured to perform heating and hot water supply, and includes a heat source unit, a heating unit, a refrigerant indoor unit, a hot water unit, and a control device.
- the heat source unit is configured to operate as a heat source for the first refrigerant.
- the heating unit is installed in a room and is configured to perform heating by circulating a second refrigerant.
- the refrigerant indoor unit is configured to receive the first refrigerant from the heat source unit and perform air conditioning of the room in which the heating unit is installed.
- the hot water unit is configured to heat the second refrigerant by circulating the first refrigerant and to make hot water by circulating the second refrigerant.
- the hot water unit includes a hot water storage tank, a first heat exchange unit, a second heat exchange unit, and a flow path selection unit.

Description
<全体構成>
図1は、実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の全体構成を示した概略図である。図1を参照して、室外に熱源ユニット301が配置され、室内に分岐ユニット302、冷媒室内機303、温水ユニット304、温水暖房ユニット305が配置されている。そして、各ユニットが、図1に示すように、配管により接続されている。冷媒室内機303は温水暖房ユニット305と同室に設置されている。
図2は、実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の冷媒回路の構成を示す図である。図1、図2を参照して、空気調和装置500は、熱源ユニット301と、温水暖房ユニット305と、冷媒室内機303と、温水ユニット304と、制御装置110とを含む。空気調和装置500は、暖房と給湯とを行なうように構成されている。
通常、実施の形態1のシステムでは、中間期では冷媒室内機303の暖房を行ない、冬期では毎日寒いため、温水暖房ユニット305により24時間全館空調(暖房)を行なう。温水暖房ユニット305によって暖房する運転モードを「温水暖房運転モード」と呼ぶ。
次に、給湯運転モードの運転状態について説明する。空気調和装置500は、リモートコントローラ107の入力部108から入力することができる「給湯ON」指令によって、給湯運転モードを実施することができる。以下に、給湯運転モードにおける一次冷媒、二次冷媒の流れ状態および各機器の制御方法を説明する。
冬期では毎日寒いため、温水暖房ユニット305により24時間全館空調(暖房)を行なう。図2に示した温水ユニット304は、給湯と温水暖房のいずれか一方を選択することしかできない。従来は温水暖房運転中に給湯要求が発生した場合、温水暖房運転を停止して給湯運転を実施していた。その結果、室内暖房を一次中断しなければならないため、暖房の快適性を損なっていた。
図4は、温水暖房運転時に給湯要求があった場合の制御を説明するためのフローチャートである。このフローチャートの処理は、一定時間ごとにメインルーチンから呼び出されて実行される。図2、図4を参照して、制御装置110は、ステップS1において温水暖房運転開始の要求をリモートコントローラ107の入力部108から受信したか否かを判断する。温水暖房運転開始の要求を受信した場合(S1でYES)、制御装置110はステップS2において、温水暖房運転を開始させるように、熱源ユニット301、分岐ユニット302および温水ユニット304を制御し、ステップS3に処理を進める。一方、温水暖房運転開始の要求を受信していない場合(S1でNO)、制御装置110はステップS2の処理を実行せずに、ステップS3に処理を進める。
実施の形態1では、冷媒室内機303と温水暖房ユニット305が一台ずつ同じ部屋内に設置されている簡単な構成について示した。実施の形態2では、複数の部屋があり、冷媒室内機と温水暖房ユニットが必ずしも同じ部屋に設置されていない例について説明する。
図5は、実施の形態2に係る空気調和装置の全体構成を示した概略図である。図5を参照して、室外に熱源ユニット301が配置され、室内の1階に分岐ユニット302A、冷媒室内機303A、温水ユニット304、温水暖房ユニット305Aが配置されている。2階には、温水暖房ユニット305Bと冷媒室内機303Bとが別々の部屋に設置されている。そして、各ユニットが、図5に示すように、配管によって接続されている。
図6は、実施の形態2に係る空気調和装置の冷媒回路の構成を示す図である。図5、図6を参照して、実施の形態2に係る空気調和装置510は、熱源ユニット301と、温水暖房ユニット305A,305Bと、冷媒室内機303A,303Bと、温水ユニット304と、制御装置110Aとを含む。
次に、温水暖房運転モードの運転状態について説明する。基本的には、実施の形態2の温水暖房運転モードは実施の形態1と同じである。
次に、給湯運転モードの運転状態について説明する。実施の形態2における空気調和装置510は、実施の形態1と同様に、水熱交換器11とコイル熱交換器18とを接続し、配管21側を閉止するように三方弁20を制御する。また、圧縮機1の運転周波数は湯切れ回避を狙い、最大周波数固定で制御されている。
実施の形態2では、熱源ユニット301のヒートポンプ能力内において、温水暖房と冷媒室内機による暖房とを同時に運転させる暖房同時運転を行なうことができる。この暖房同時運転モードの運転状態について詳細に説明する。
空気調和装置510は、リモートコントローラ107の入力部108から入力することができる「暖房ON」指令および「給湯ON」指令を同時に処理することも可能である。このときには、暖房給湯同時運転を実施する。以下に、暖房給湯同時運転モードにおける冷媒の流れ状態および各機器の制御方法を説明する。
アシスト暖房動作については、実施の形態2の空気調和装置510は、基本的には、制御装置110Aは、給湯要求を受けると温水暖房を停止させて貯湯タンク19の水を加熱することによって温水を作り、かつその間は冷媒室内機303Aを用いたアシスト暖房を実施する。
温水暖房運転中に、温水暖房ユニットが設置されていない2階の冷媒室内機303Bにおいて、ユーザーが暖房ONとしたい場合がある。冷媒室内機303Bの暖房運転では通常、吹出温度が人の体温よりやや高い38℃以上とすることが必要である。しかし、温水暖房ユニット305A,305Bが温水床暖房の場合において設定温度が低くなると、設定温度の低下に伴い冷媒温度が38℃よりも低くなる場合がある。一般に、温水床暖房のほうがファンコイルなどよりも設定温度が低い。冷媒温度が低下すると、吹出温度38℃以上とするのが困難となり、冷媒室内機による暖房の快適性が低下する。
以下、実施の形態3について説明する。なお、実施の形態3では実施の形態2からの変更点を中心に説明する。
