If the conditions of steps S9, S12, and S13, which will be described later, are not satisfied (if the judgment is NO) and the decompression device is always in operation, the conditions of steps S9 to S13 are satisfied (judgment is YES). The decompression device works. In this case, overshoot or hunting may occur during control of the decompression device. In step S8, the operating state determining unit 36 determines whether or not the control interval has elapsed, thereby preventing overshoot and hunting during control of the pressure reducing device.

[ヒートポンプ給湯装置100の構成]
図1は、実施の形態1に係るヒートポンプ給湯装置100の構成の一例を示す概略図である。ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、ヒートポンプを用いた給湯装置である。図1に示すように、ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、各機器が冷媒配管10で接続された冷媒回路110と、各機器が水配管20で接続された水回路120とを有する。ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、冷媒回路110を流れる冷媒と、水回路120を流れる水との間で熱交換を行うことによって水を加熱し、加熱水を水回路120に設けられた貯湯タンク21に貯める。
冷媒回路110は、圧縮機11、水熱交換器12、第1減圧装置13、空気熱交換器14、第2減圧装置16を有する。圧縮機11、水熱交換器12、第1減圧装置13、空気熱交換器14及び第2減圧装置16は、冷媒配管10によって接続されている。冷媒配管10の内部を冷媒が流れており、冷媒回路110は、閉回路であり、冷媒が流れる流路を形成する。冷媒は、冷媒回路110内で循環するように流れている。冷媒回路110は、ヒートポンプ回路、あるいは、熱源機と称してもよい。熱源機である冷媒回路110は、水回路120を流れる水を加熱する。
図1の水回路120は、貯湯タンク21、送水ポンプ22及び水熱交換器12を有する。貯湯タンク21、送水ポンプ22及び水熱交換器12は、水配管20によって順次接続されている。水配管20の内部を水が流れており、水回路120は、水が流れる流路を形成する。水回路120は、環状に形成されている。水は、水回路120内で循環するように流れている。
また、ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、各種測定装置を有している。ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、冷媒回路110において、吐出温度センサ41を備えている。吐出温度センサ41は、圧縮機11の吐出口に接続された冷媒配管10の配管温度を検知する。吐出温度センサ41によって検知された冷媒配管10の配管温度を、吐出配管温度と定義する。吐出配管温度は、圧縮機11の吐出冷媒側の配管温度であり、圧縮機11の吐出口付近の配管温度である。吐出温度センサ41は、吐出配管温度を検知し、後述する制御装置30に供給する。
また、ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、制御装置30を備えている。制御装置30は、冷媒回路110及び水回路120に設けられた機器を制御する。制御装置30は、ヒートポンプ給湯装置100の各部から受け取る各種情報に基づき貯湯タンク21に貯湯を行うために、ヒートポンプ給湯装置100全体の動作を制御する。例えば、制御装置30は、ヒートポンプ給湯装置100に設けられた各種センサからの情報に基づき、圧縮機11の運転周波数、送風機15の運転周波数、送水ポンプ22の運転周波数、第1減圧装置13の開度及び第2減圧装置16の開度等を制御する。
上記の構成を有するヒートポンプ給湯装置100の動作について説明する。ここでは、通常給湯モードの冷媒及び水の流れと、夜間給湯モードの動作について説明する。
まず、通常給湯モードの冷媒及び水の流れについて説明する。冷媒回路110を流れる冷媒は、圧縮機11によって圧縮されて吐出される。圧縮機11から吐出された冷媒は、水熱交換器12の第1流路12aに流入する。水熱交換器12の第1流路12aに流入した冷媒は、水回路120の第2流路12bを流れる水と熱交換して放熱しながら凝縮することによって水を加熱し、水熱交換器12から流出する。
図3は、実施の形態1に係るヒートポンプ給湯装置100の、夜間給湯モードの開始に至るまでのフローチャートを示している。図4は、実施の形態1に係るヒートポンプ給湯装置100の、夜間給湯モードの制御フローチャートを示している。夜間給湯モードは、夜間に行われるヒートポンプ給湯装置100の動作である。夜間給湯モードは、夜間に、水熱交換器12における水と冷媒との熱交換によって水を加熱し、貯湯タンク21に湯を貯めるモードである。図3及び図4を用いてヒートポンプ給湯装置100の夜間給湯モードの動作について説明する。
制御装置30は、夜間給湯モードにおいて、送水ポンプ22を予め設定された最低周波数で稼働させ、圧縮機11を予め設定された最低周波数で稼働させ、空気熱交換器14において空気と冷媒との熱交換を促進する送風機15を停止し回転させない。一般的に、空気熱交換器に隣接して配置された送風機の回転により生じる騒音が、冷媒回路110から生じる騒音の大半を占めている。ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、夜間給湯モードにおいて、制御装置30が送風機15を停止しており、夜間においてヒートポンプ給湯装置100の運転により発生する騒音を低減することができる。
図5は、実施の形態2に係るヒートポンプ給湯装置100の構成の一例を示す概略図である。実施の形態1に係るヒートポンプ給湯装置100と同一の機能及び作用を有する構成要素については、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。以下、実施の形態2が実施の形態1と異なる点を中心に説明し、実施の形態2で説明しない構成は実施の形態1と同様である。
冷媒回路110は、水熱交換器12と第1減圧装置13との間の冷媒配管10と、空気熱交換器14と圧縮機11との間の冷媒配管10とを接続する流路を形成する第2バイパス回路113を更に有する。ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、第2バイパス回路113を有することによって、水熱交換器12から流出した液冷媒、ガス冷媒、あるいは、気液二相冷媒を、第2バイパス回路113を経由させて圧縮機11の吸入冷媒側の配管にバイパスさせることができる。そのため、ヒートポンプ給湯装置100は、圧縮機11に吸入される冷媒に第1バイパス回路112を経由した高温高圧のガス冷媒と、第2バイパス回路113を経由した冷媒とを混合させることにより圧縮機11の液冷媒戻りを抑制できる。
