In the conventional heat pump water heater shown in FIG. 10, a capillary tube or a thermal expansion valve is used as the pressure reducing device 3. When a capillary tube is used as the pressure reducing device 3, the specifications of the capillary tube are generally designed on the basis of summer temperature conditions where the refrigerant circulation amount is large. Therefore, there has been a problem that the operation efficiency is deteriorated especially in winter when the hot water supply load is large other than in summer. Similarly, in the winter season when the outside air temperature is low other than the summer season, more refrigerant than necessary is circulated in the refrigerant circulation circuit, so that the liquid refrigerant is sucked into the compressor 1, and as a result, the liquid is compressed and the durability of the compressor is reduced. There was a problem of getting worse.

Design valve specifications. For this reason, there has been a problem that the discharge pressure increases when the temperature is higher than the designed outside air temperature, and the discharge temperature increases in winter when the outside air temperature is low, so that the durability of the compressor deteriorates. In addition, even when frost forms on the evaporator 4 in winter, the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporator 4 is controlled so that the degree of superheat can be obtained. I was

When the opening of the pressure reducing device 3 is changed from A to B, the discharge temperature becomes C
To D, and the discharge pressure decreases from E to F. After all, in the case of the outside air temperature shown in the figure, in order to set the discharge temperature to D (normal maximum discharge temperature), the discharge pressure should be set to F. The discharge pressure for the opening degree B of the pressure reducing device 3 is set as a target discharge pressure Z. Then, when this target discharge pressure Z is obtained for each outside air temperature, it becomes as shown by the solid line in FIG. The relationship between the target discharge pressure Z and the outside air temperature is stored in the second storage means 15 in advance. In the figure,
The dotted line indicates the case where the control based on the normal maximum discharge temperature is not performed. The outside air temperature at the intersection of the solid line and the dotted line is defined as the low-temperature-side limit outside air temperature Tl.
