Description

本発明は、給湯を行うと共に冷暖房も行うヒートポンプシステムに関する。   The present invention relates to a heat pump system that supplies hot water and also performs cooling and heating.

近年では、ヒートポンプシステムの冷媒として環境への影響が少ない自然冷媒を用いる例が増加している。その自然冷媒の中でも二酸化炭素はオゾン層に影響を与えることがなく、毒性や可燃性もないため、近年では多く用いられるようになっている。   In recent years, an example of using a natural refrigerant that has little influence on the environment as the refrigerant of the heat pump system is increasing. Among these natural refrigerants, carbon dioxide has not been affected by the ozone layer and is not toxic or flammable.

ところが、冷媒として二酸化炭素を用いたヒートポンプは、サイクルの高圧側で冷媒が超臨界状態となり、気相から液相への相変化を生じない超臨界サイクルとなる。このため、低温の水を高温に加熱するような給湯を行う際には成績係数(COP)が優れているが、空調として使用する場合には熱交換を行う対象の温度差が小さくなるため成績係数が低下するという特性がある(下記特許文献1参照)。   However, a heat pump using carbon dioxide as a refrigerant has a supercritical cycle in which the refrigerant is in a supercritical state on the high pressure side of the cycle and does not cause a phase change from the gas phase to the liquid phase. For this reason, the coefficient of performance (COP) is excellent when performing hot water supply that heats low-temperature water to a high temperature. There is a characteristic that the coefficient decreases (see Patent Document 1 below).

従って、従来、二酸化炭素冷媒を用いたヒートポンプシステムは、給湯に多く使われており、空調用としてはあまり用いられていない。このため、各家庭やオフィス等の設置場所においては、二酸化炭素冷媒のヒートポンプシステムを給湯用として設置し、別個に一般の冷媒を用いたヒートポンプ式の空調機を設置することが行われていた。   Therefore, conventionally, a heat pump system using a carbon dioxide refrigerant is often used for hot water supply, and is not often used for air conditioning. For this reason, in installation places such as homes and offices, a carbon dioxide refrigerant heat pump system has been installed for hot water supply, and a heat pump type air conditioner using a general refrigerant has been separately installed.

このように、従来は2つのヒートポンプシステムが並設されたものであり、ぞれぞれ放熱及び採熱を行っていたため、設備全体からみると成績係数はさほど高くはなかった。
特開2004−108597号公報(明細書0019、図2)
As described above, conventionally, two heat pump systems are arranged side by side, and each of them performs heat dissipation and heat collection, so that the coefficient of performance is not so high when viewed from the whole equipment.
JP 2004-108597 A (Description 0019, FIG. 2)

本発明は、ヒートポンプシステムの改良を目的とし、さらに詳しくは、二酸化炭素冷媒等のサイクルの高圧側で超臨界圧状態となる冷媒を利用したヒートポンプシステムと、サイクルの高圧側で相変化を生じる一般の冷媒を用いたヒートポンプシステムとのそれぞれの特性を相互に利用し、単にこれらが並設されたものに比べて成績係数が高いヒートポンプシステムを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention aims to improve a heat pump system, and more specifically, a heat pump system using a refrigerant that is in a supercritical pressure state on the high pressure side of a cycle, such as carbon dioxide refrigerant, and a phase change that occurs on the high pressure side of the cycle in general. The object is to provide a heat pump system having a high coefficient of performance as compared with a system in which these characteristics are mutually utilized by mutually utilizing the characteristics of the heat pump system using the refrigerant.

前記目的を達成するために、本発明のヒートポンプシステムは、圧縮機と、第1熱交換器と、膨張弁と、第2熱交換器とが介設され、該圧縮機から該膨張弁に至る高圧側で超臨界状態となる冷媒を循環させる給湯用冷媒回路と、圧縮機と、第3熱交換器と、膨張弁と、第4熱交換器とが介設され、該圧縮機から該膨張弁に至る高圧側で気相から液相に相変化する冷媒を循環させる空調用冷媒回路とを備えている。また、前記第1熱交換器により加熱された温水を貯湯タンクの上層に送る第1温水往路と、前記貯湯タンクの下層から前記第1熱交換器に温水を送る第1温水復路と、前記第2熱交換器により熱交換が行われた温水を給湯用採熱手段に送る第2温水往路と、前記給湯用採熱手段から前記第2熱交換器に温水を送る第2温水復路と、前記第3熱交換器で熱交換が行われた温水を熱負荷に送る第3温水往路と、前記熱負荷から前記第3熱交換器に温水を送る第3温水復路と、前記第4熱交換器で熱交換が行われた温水を空調用採熱手段に送る第4温水往路と、前記空調用採熱手段から前記第4熱交換器に温水を送る第4温水復路とを備えている。   In order to achieve the above object, a heat pump system according to the present invention includes a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and a second heat exchanger, and extends from the compressor to the expansion valve. A hot water supply refrigerant circuit for circulating a supercritical refrigerant on the high-pressure side, a compressor, a third heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and a fourth heat exchanger are interposed, and the expansion is performed from the compressor. And an air conditioning refrigerant circuit that circulates a refrigerant that changes in phase from a gas phase to a liquid phase on the high pressure side leading to the valve. A first warm water forward path for sending warm water heated by the first heat exchanger to an upper layer of the hot water storage tank; a first hot water return path for sending warm water from the lower layer of the hot water storage tank to the first heat exchanger; A second hot water outgoing path for sending hot water having been subjected to heat exchange by the two heat exchangers to the hot water collecting means, a second hot water return path for sending hot water from the hot water collecting means to the second heat exchanger, A third warm water forward path for sending the hot water heat-exchanged by the third heat exchanger to the heat load, a third hot water return path for sending the warm water from the heat load to the third heat exchanger, and the fourth heat exchanger. And a fourth hot water return path for sending warm water from the air conditioning heat collecting means to the fourth heat exchanger.

また、前記第1温水復路と並列に設けられ前記貯湯タンクの下層からの温水を前記第4温水復路と熱交換を行う第5熱交換器を介して前記第1熱交換器に送る第5温水回路と、前記第1温水往路と前記第1温水復路との間で温水を循環させるか、又は前記第1温水往路と前記第5温水回路との間で温水を循環させるかを切り替える切替手段と、前記貯湯タンクの下層の温度が所定の閾値以下のときは前記第1温水往路と前記第1温水復路との間で温水を循環させ、前記貯湯タンクの下層の温度が前記閾値を越えたときは前記第1温水往路と前記第5温水回路との間で温水を循環させるように前記切替手段を切り替える制御手段とを備えていることを特徴とする。   Moreover, the 5th hot water which is provided in parallel with the said 1st hot water return path and sends the warm water from the lower layer of the said hot water storage tank to the said 1st heat exchanger via the 5th heat exchanger which heat-exchanges with the said 4th hot water return path. Switching means for switching between circulating a hot water between the circuit and the first warm water outbound path and the first warm water returning path, or circulating the warm water between the first warm water outbound path and the fifth warm water circuit; When the temperature of the lower layer of the hot water storage tank is below a predetermined threshold, hot water is circulated between the first hot water forward path and the first hot water return path, and the temperature of the lower layer of the hot water storage tank exceeds the threshold value. Comprises control means for switching the switching means so as to circulate hot water between the first warm water forward path and the fifth warm water circuit.

本発明のヒートポンプシステムにおいては、前記貯湯タンクの下層の温度が所定の閾値を越えたときは、前記切替手段を切り替えて前記第1温水往路と前記第5温水回路との間で温水を循環させる。これにより、前記第1熱交換器に送られる温水が前記第5温水回路の第5熱交換器で冷却される。このため、単に前記第1温水復路から温水が供給される場合に比べて給湯用冷媒回路の成績係数を上昇させることができる。また、前記空調用冷媒回路において暖房運転が行われているときは、前記第4温水復路の温水の温度は高いほど成績係数がよい。本発明では、前記第5熱交換器によって前記第4温水復路の温水の温度が上昇されるので、前記空調用冷媒回路における成績係数も上昇させることができる。このように、本発明では、前記給湯用冷媒回路と前記空調用冷媒回路の夫々の特性を生かしてシステム全体として成績係数を上昇させることができる。   In the heat pump system of the present invention, when the temperature of the lower layer of the hot water storage tank exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the switching means is switched to circulate hot water between the first hot water forward path and the fifth hot water circuit. . Thereby, the warm water sent to the first heat exchanger is cooled by the fifth heat exchanger of the fifth warm water circuit. For this reason, the coefficient of performance of the hot water supply refrigerant circuit can be increased as compared with the case where hot water is simply supplied from the first hot water return path. When the heating operation is performed in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, the higher the temperature of the hot water in the fourth hot water return path, the better the coefficient of performance. In the present invention, since the temperature of the hot water in the fourth hot water return path is increased by the fifth heat exchanger, the coefficient of performance in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit can also be increased. Thus, in the present invention, the coefficient of performance of the entire system can be increased by taking advantage of the characteristics of the hot water supply refrigerant circuit and the air conditioning refrigerant circuit.

また、本発明のヒートポンプシステムにおいては、前記貯湯タンクの上層からの温水を前記第3温水往路と熱交換を行う第6熱交換器を介して前記貯湯タンクの下層に送る第6温水回路をさらに備え、前記制御手段は、前記熱負荷で要求される温水の温度が所定の第2閾値を越えているときは前記第6温水回路に温水を循環させ、前記熱負荷で要求される温水の温度が前記第2閾値以下の時は前記第6温水回路の温水の循環を停止させるものであることが好ましい。   The heat pump system of the present invention further includes a sixth hot water circuit for sending hot water from an upper layer of the hot water storage tank to a lower layer of the hot water storage tank via a sixth heat exchanger for exchanging heat with the third hot water outgoing path. And when the temperature of the hot water required by the thermal load exceeds a predetermined second threshold, the control means circulates the hot water in the sixth hot water circuit, and the temperature of the hot water required by the thermal load. When the value is less than or equal to the second threshold value, it is preferable that the circulation of the hot water in the sixth hot water circuit is stopped.

これによれば、前記熱負荷で要求される温水の温度が前記第2閾値を越えているとき、即ち前記熱負荷で高い温度の温水が要求されているときは、前記制御手段は前記貯湯タンクの上層から前記第6温水回路に高温の温水を供給する。これにより、前記第6熱交換器及び前記第3温水往路を介して前記熱負荷に高温の温水を供給できるため、前記空調用冷媒回路単体の能力以上の暖房を行うことができる。   According to this, when the temperature of the hot water required by the thermal load exceeds the second threshold value, that is, when the hot water at the high temperature is required by the thermal load, the control means is the hot water storage tank. Hot hot water is supplied from the upper layer to the sixth hot water circuit. Thereby, since hot water of high temperature can be supplied to the heat load via the sixth heat exchanger and the third hot water outbound route, heating exceeding the capacity of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit alone can be performed.

また、本発明のヒートポンプシステムにおいては、前記給湯用採熱手段は地熱を採熱する第1地中熱採熱管を有し、前記空調用採熱手段は地熱を採熱する第2地中熱採熱管を有し、前記第1地中熱採熱管と前記第2地中熱採熱管とは地中において近接して配設されていることが好ましい。   In the heat pump system of the present invention, the hot water collecting means has a first ground heat collecting pipe for collecting geothermal heat, and the air conditioning heat collecting means has a second ground heat for collecting geothermal heat. It is preferable to have a heat collection pipe, and the first underground heat collection pipe and the second underground heat collection pipe are arranged close to each other in the ground.

前記給湯用冷媒回路において給湯運転を行っているときは、前記第1地中熱採熱管には低温の温水が供給され、地中から地熱を採熱して昇温させている。一方、前記空調用冷媒回路において冷房運転を行っているときは、前記第2地中熱採熱管には高温の温水が供給され、地中から低温の地熱を採熱して温度を低下させている。即ち、前記第2地中熱採熱管では冷房の際に発生する排熱が地中内に排出される。本発明では、前記第1地中熱採熱管と前記第2地中熱採熱管とは地中において近接して配設されているため、前記給湯用冷媒回路で給湯を行う際に前記空調用冷媒回路の冷房排熱を採熱して利用することができるので、給湯用冷媒回路の成績係数を高めることができる。また、空調用冷媒回路においては、冷房の排熱を地中内に排出しても前記第1地中熱採熱管で採熱が行われるため、地中内が過熱状態となることがないので安定した冷房能力を保つことができる。   When the hot water supply operation is performed in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit, low-temperature hot water is supplied to the first geothermal heat collection pipe, and the temperature is raised by collecting geothermal heat from the ground. On the other hand, when the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit is performing a cooling operation, high-temperature hot water is supplied to the second geothermal heat collection pipe, and low-temperature geothermal heat is collected from the ground to lower the temperature. . That is, in the second underground heat collection pipe, exhaust heat generated during cooling is discharged into the ground. In the present invention, since the first geothermal heat collecting pipe and the second geothermal heat collecting pipe are disposed close to each other in the ground, the hot water supply refrigerant circuit is used for the air conditioning. Since the cooling exhaust heat of the refrigerant circuit can be collected and used, the coefficient of performance of the hot water supply refrigerant circuit can be increased. Further, in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, even if the exhaust heat of the cooling is discharged into the ground, the ground is not overheated because the heat is collected by the first ground heat collecting pipe. Stable cooling capacity can be maintained.

The controller 47 receives a detection value from the third temperature sensor T3 as a device related to the air conditioning heat pump 3, and controls the indoor radiator 31, the ventilation air conditioning unit 32, and the fifth circulation pump 33.

また、コントローラ47は、第2温度センサT2の検出値の閾値として40℃という値を記憶している。そして、給湯用ヒートポンプ2によって給湯運転を行うと共に空調用ヒートポンプ3によって暖房運転を行っている際に、貯湯タンク4の下層4bの温度が閾値である40℃以下であるときは第1三方弁11によって第1温水往路10と第1温水復路13とを接続し、第5温水回路42は閉じた状態とする(図3参照)。一方、貯湯タンク4の下層4bの温度が閾値である40℃を越えているときは、第1三方弁11によって第1温水往路10と第5温水回路42とを接続し、第1温水復路13は閉じた状態とするように制御する(図4参照)。   In addition, the controller 47 stores a value of 40 ° C. as a threshold value of the detection value of the second temperature sensor T2. When the hot water supply operation is performed by the hot water supply heat pump 2 and the heating operation is performed by the air conditioning heat pump 3, the first three-way valve 11 is used when the temperature of the lower layer 4b of the hot water storage tank 4 is 40 ° C. or less which is a threshold value. Thus, the first warm water forward path 10 and the first warm water return path 13 are connected, and the fifth warm water circuit 42 is closed (see FIG. 3). On the other hand, when the temperature of the lower layer 4b of the hot water storage tank 4 exceeds the threshold value of 40 ° C., the first three-way valve 11 connects the first warm water forward path 10 and the fifth warm water circuit 42 to the first warm water return path 13. Is controlled to be in a closed state (see FIG. 4).

また、コントローラ47は、第3温度センサT3の検出値の閾値として75℃という値を記憶している。そして、空調用ヒートポンプ3によって暖房運転を行っている際に、貯湯タンク4の上層4aの温度がこの75℃を越えており、且つ、室内用放熱器31によって要求されている温水の温度が閾値である75℃を越えているときは、第6循環ポンプ44を作動させて貯湯タンク4の上層4aから第6温水回路45を介して第6熱交換器43に温水を送り、この第6熱交換器43で室内用放熱器31に送られる温水を加熱するように制御する(図5参照)。一方、貯湯タンク4の上層4aの温度が75℃以下のとき、又は室内用放熱器31によって要求されている温水の温度が閾値である75℃以下のときは、コントローラ47は第6循環ポンプ44の作動を停止させ、第6温水回路45内の温水の循環を停止させるように制御する。   The controller 47 stores a value of 75 ° C. as a threshold value of the detection value of the third temperature sensor T3. When the heating operation is performed by the air conditioning heat pump 3, the temperature of the upper layer 4a of the hot water storage tank 4 exceeds 75 ° C., and the temperature of the hot water required by the indoor radiator 31 is the threshold value. When the temperature exceeds 75 ° C., the sixth circulation pump 44 is operated to send hot water from the upper layer 4a of the hot water storage tank 4 to the sixth heat exchanger 43 via the sixth hot water circuit 45. The exchanger 43 is controlled to heat the hot water sent to the indoor radiator 31 (see FIG. 5). On the other hand, when the temperature of the upper layer 4a of the hot water storage tank 4 is 75 ° C. or lower, or when the temperature of the hot water requested by the indoor radiator 31 is 75 ° C. or lower, which is the threshold value, the controller 47 controls the sixth circulation pump 44. Is controlled to stop the circulation of the hot water in the sixth hot water circuit 45.

次に、本実施形態のヒートポンプシステム1の作動について、図3乃至図6を参照して説明する。尚、図3乃至図6において、実線で表している回路は作動中のものを示し、点線で表している回路は閉じられている回路を示す。   Next, the operation of the heat pump system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. 3 to 6, a circuit indicated by a solid line indicates an active circuit, and a circuit indicated by a dotted line indicates a closed circuit.

まず、図3及び図4を参照して、冬季において、給湯用ヒートポンプ2で給湯運転を行い、空調用ヒートポンプ3で暖房運転を行う場合について説明する。給湯用ヒートポンプ2で給湯運転うときは、コントローラ47は圧縮機6を作動させて冷媒である二酸化炭素を圧縮し給湯用冷媒回路5内を循環させる。また、第1循環ポンプ12及び第2循環ポンプ21を作動させる。ここで、第2温度センサT2により検出される貯湯タンク4の下層4bの温度が閾値である40℃以下であるときは、第1三方弁11によって第1温水往路10と第1温水復路13とを接続する。また、室内用放熱器31に設けられた第3温度センサT3で要求される温水の温度が75℃以下であるときは、第6循環ポンプ44は作動させないため、第6温水回路45内には温水は流れない。また、外気温センサToの検出値が5℃を越えているときは、第2三方弁19及び第3三方弁20によって第1地中熱採熱管16を介さずに室外ファンユニット17及び太陽熱集熱器18によって採熱を行う。さらに、外気温センサToの検出値が5℃を越えている状態では、第5循環ポンプ33は作動させないようにしており、融雪回路36には温水は循環していない。   First, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the case where the hot water supply operation is performed by the hot water supply heat pump 2 and the heating operation is performed by the air conditioning heat pump 3 in winter will be described. When a hot water supply operation is performed by the hot water supply heat pump 2, the controller 47 operates the compressor 6 to compress carbon dioxide as a refrigerant and circulate the refrigerant in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 5. Further, the first circulation pump 12 and the second circulation pump 21 are operated. Here, when the temperature of the lower layer 4b of the hot water storage tank 4 detected by the second temperature sensor T2 is equal to or lower than 40 ° C. which is a threshold value, the first three-way valve 11 causes the first warm water forward path 10 and the first warm water return path 13 to Connect. Further, when the temperature of the hot water required by the third temperature sensor T3 provided in the indoor radiator 31 is 75 ° C. or less, the sixth circulation pump 44 is not operated, Hot water does not flow. Further, when the detected value of the outside air temperature sensor To exceeds 5 ° C., the outdoor fan unit 17 and the solar heat collection are not caused by the second three-way valve 19 and the third three-way valve 20 without passing through the first underground heat collection pipe 16. Heat is collected by the heater 18. Further, in a state where the detected value of the outside air temperature sensor To exceeds 5 ° C., the fifth circulation pump 33 is not operated, and hot water is not circulated in the snow melting circuit 36.

給湯用冷媒回路5において、圧縮機6によって圧縮された冷媒は、凝縮器である第1熱交換器7で放熱がおこなわれ、膨張弁8で減圧された後、蒸発器である第2熱交換器9で採熱が行われ、圧縮機6の入口まで戻される。また、第1循環ポンプ12により送られる温水は、第1熱交換器7で熱交換を行って加熱され、第1温水往路10を介して貯湯タンク4の上層4aに送られる。本実施形態では、この第1熱交換器7によって温水が90℃まで加熱されるようになっている。また、貯湯タンク4の下層4bからの温水は第1温水復路13を介して第1熱交換器7に戻される。また、第2循環ポンプ21により送られる温水は、第2熱交換器9で熱交換を行って冷却され、第2三方弁19を介して室外ファンユニット17及び太陽熱集熱器18に送られて採熱が行われ、第3三方弁20を介して第2循環ポンプ21に戻される。   In the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 5, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 6 is radiated by the first heat exchanger 7 that is a condenser, depressurized by the expansion valve 8, and then the second heat exchange that is an evaporator. Heat is collected in the vessel 9 and returned to the inlet of the compressor 6. The hot water sent by the first circulation pump 12 is heated by exchanging heat in the first heat exchanger 7 and sent to the upper layer 4 a of the hot water storage tank 4 through the first hot water outgoing path 10. In the present embodiment, the hot water is heated to 90 ° C. by the first heat exchanger 7. Further, the hot water from the lower layer 4 b of the hot water storage tank 4 is returned to the first heat exchanger 7 through the first hot water return path 13. The hot water sent by the second circulation pump 21 is cooled by exchanging heat in the second heat exchanger 9 and sent to the outdoor fan unit 17 and the solar heat collector 18 via the second three-way valve 19. Heat is collected and returned to the second circulation pump 21 via the third three-way valve 20.

一方、空調用冷媒回路22においては、圧縮機23によって圧縮された冷媒は、四方弁24を通過して凝縮器である第3熱交換器25で放熱が行われ、膨張弁26で減圧された後、蒸発器である第4熱交換器27で採熱が行われ、四方弁24を介して圧縮機23の入口まで戻される。また、第3循環ポンプ29により送られる温水は、第3熱交換器25、第6熱交換器43、室内用放熱器31、換気用空調ユニット32、及び融雪用熱交換器35を通過して第3循環ポンプ29に戻される。このとき、第6温水回路45内の温水は循環されていないため、第6熱交換器43では熱交換は行われない。また、第5循環ポンプ33も作動していないため、融雪用熱交換器35においても熱交換は行われない。また、第4循環ポンプ40により送られる温水は、第4熱交換器27、第2地中熱採熱管39及び第5熱交換器41を通過して第4循環ポンプ40に戻される。このとき、第5温水回路42内の温水は循環されていないため、第5熱交換器41においては熱交換は行われない。   On the other hand, in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 22, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 23 passes through the four-way valve 24, dissipates heat in the third heat exchanger 25 that is a condenser, and is decompressed by the expansion valve 26. Thereafter, heat is collected by the fourth heat exchanger 27 that is an evaporator, and returned to the inlet of the compressor 23 through the four-way valve 24. The warm water sent by the third circulation pump 29 passes through the third heat exchanger 25, the sixth heat exchanger 43, the indoor radiator 31, the ventilation air conditioning unit 32, and the snow melting heat exchanger 35. Returned to the third circulation pump 29. At this time, since the hot water in the sixth hot water circuit 45 is not circulated, the sixth heat exchanger 43 does not perform heat exchange. In addition, since the fifth circulation pump 33 is not operated, heat exchange is not performed in the snow melting heat exchanger 35. Further, the hot water sent by the fourth circulation pump 40 passes through the fourth heat exchanger 27, the second underground heat collection pipe 39 and the fifth heat exchanger 41 and is returned to the fourth circulation pump 40. At this time, since the hot water in the fifth hot water circuit 42 is not circulated, heat exchange is not performed in the fifth heat exchanger 41.

以上の状態で、ヒートポンプシステム1の運転が行われると、貯湯タンク4内の温水の温度が上昇し、各熱負荷において暖房が行われる。そして、第2温度センサT2によって検知される温水の温度、即ち貯湯タンク4の下層4bにおける温水の温度が上昇して閾値である40℃を越えたときは、コントローラ47は、第1三方弁11の切替を行う。具体的には、図4に示すように、第1循環ポンプ12に戻される温水の経路を、第1温水復路13から第5温水回路42に切り替える。すると、第1循環ポンプ12により送られる温水は、第1熱交換器7、貯湯タンク4の上層4aから下層4bを経て、第5温水回路42内を通って第5熱交換器41により熱交換を行った後、第1三方弁11を介して第1循環ポンプ12に戻されることになる。   When the operation of the heat pump system 1 is performed in the above state, the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank 4 rises and heating is performed at each heat load. When the temperature of the hot water detected by the second temperature sensor T2, that is, the temperature of the hot water in the lower layer 4b of the hot water storage tank 4 rises and exceeds the threshold value of 40 ° C., the controller 47 sets the first three-way valve 11 Is switched. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the path of the hot water returned to the first circulation pump 12 is switched from the first hot water return path 13 to the fifth hot water circuit 42. Then, the hot water sent by the first circulation pump 12 passes through the fifth hot water circuit 42 through the first heat exchanger 7 and the upper layer 4a to the lower layer 4b of the hot water storage tank 4, and is exchanged by the fifth heat exchanger 41. Is performed, the first three-way valve 11 is returned to the first circulation pump 12.

第5熱交換器41においては、第5温水回路42内の温水の温度(40℃を越える温度)が第4温水復路38内の温水温度(約30℃)よりも高いため、第5温水回路42内の温水は冷却され、第4温水復路38内の温水は加熱される。二酸化炭素冷媒を用いた給湯用冷媒回路5では、第1熱交換器7の入口温度と出口温度との差が大きい方が給湯用冷媒回路5の成績係数がよい。従って、本実施形態のように第1熱交換器7に供給される温水が冷却されたときは、貯湯タンク4の下層4bの温水をそのまま第1熱交換器7に送る場合に比べて給湯用冷媒回路5の成績係数がよくなる。一方、空調用冷媒回路22においては、暖房時に第4熱交換器27に供給される温水の温度が高い方が成績係数が向上する。従って、本実施形態のように第4熱交換器27に送られる温水が第5熱交換器41によって加熱されたときは、第2地中熱採熱管39からの温水をそのまま送る場合に比べて空調用冷媒回路22の成績係数が向上する。   In the fifth heat exchanger 41, the temperature of the hot water in the fifth hot water circuit 42 (temperature exceeding 40 ° C.) is higher than the temperature of the hot water in the fourth hot water return path 38 (about 30 ° C.). The warm water in 42 is cooled, and the warm water in the fourth warm water return path 38 is heated. In the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 5 using carbon dioxide refrigerant, the coefficient of performance of the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 5 is better when the difference between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the first heat exchanger 7 is larger. Accordingly, when the hot water supplied to the first heat exchanger 7 is cooled as in the present embodiment, the hot water in the lower layer 4b of the hot water storage tank 4 is used for hot water supply compared to the case where the hot water is sent to the first heat exchanger 7 as it is. The coefficient of performance of the refrigerant circuit 5 is improved. On the other hand, in the refrigerant circuit 22 for air conditioning, the coefficient of performance improves when the temperature of the hot water supplied to the fourth heat exchanger 27 during heating is higher. Therefore, when the hot water sent to the 4th heat exchanger 27 is heated by the 5th heat exchanger 41 like this embodiment, compared with the case where the warm water from the 2nd underground heat collection pipe 39 is sent as it is. The coefficient of performance of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 22 is improved.

次に、図5を参照して、暖房用の熱負荷において高い能力が求められている場合のヒートポンプシステム1の作動について説明する。室内用放熱器31において急速暖房運転や高負荷運転を必要とする場合、第3温水往路28に供給される温水の温度を高くする必要がある。本実施形態では、第3温度センサT3の検出値の閾値である75℃を越える場合が当該高負荷運転に相当する。このように、室内用放熱器31の操作パネル(図示せず)等によって高負荷運転の指示がなされ、室内用放熱器31によって要求される温水の温度が閾値である75℃を越えたときは、コントローラ47は以下のようにヒートポンプシステム1の制御を行う。尚、以下の例では融雪回路36の作動も同時に行う場合について説明する。   Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the operation of the heat pump system 1 when a high capacity is required in the heat load for heating will be described. When the indoor radiator 31 requires rapid heating operation or high load operation, the temperature of the hot water supplied to the third hot water outgoing path 28 needs to be increased. In the present embodiment, the case where the temperature exceeds 75 ° C. which is the threshold value of the detection value of the third temperature sensor T3 corresponds to the high load operation. As described above, when an instruction for high load operation is given by an operation panel (not shown) or the like of the indoor radiator 31 and the temperature of the hot water required by the indoor radiator 31 exceeds the threshold of 75 ° C. The controller 47 controls the heat pump system 1 as follows. In the following example, the case where the operation of the snow melting circuit 36 is also performed will be described.

室内用放熱器31によって要求される温水の温度が閾値である75℃を越えたときは、コントローラ47は、第6循環ポンプ44を作動させて第6温水回路45内に温水を循環させる。この第6温水回路45には貯湯タンク4の上層4aから温水が供給されるため、第6温水回路45内を循環する温水は高温となっている。このように、第6温水回路45内を高温の温水が循環すると、第6熱交換器43において第3温水往路28内を流れる温水が加熱される。本実施形態においては、室内用放熱器31に供給される温水の温度が75℃以上になるように設定されている。   When the temperature of the hot water required by the indoor radiator 31 exceeds the threshold value of 75 ° C., the controller 47 operates the sixth circulation pump 44 to circulate the hot water in the sixth hot water circuit 45. Since the hot water is supplied to the sixth hot water circuit 45 from the upper layer 4a of the hot water storage tank 4, the hot water circulating in the sixth hot water circuit 45 is at a high temperature. As described above, when high-temperature hot water circulates in the sixth hot water circuit 45, the hot water flowing in the third hot water outgoing path 28 is heated in the sixth heat exchanger 43. In the present embodiment, the temperature of the hot water supplied to the indoor radiator 31 is set to 75 ° C. or higher.

このとき、室内用放熱器31に供給される高温の温水は、換気用空調ユニット32及び融雪用熱交換器35を介して第3循環ポンプ29に戻される。このとき、第5循環ポンプ33が作動され、融雪回路36内に温水が循環しているため、融雪回路36内の温水は融雪用熱交換器35によって加熱され、この加熱された温水が融雪路盤34に送られて融雪が行われる。   At this time, the hot water supplied to the indoor radiator 31 is returned to the third circulation pump 29 via the ventilation air conditioning unit 32 and the snow melting heat exchanger 35. At this time, since the fifth circulation pump 33 is operated and the hot water is circulating in the snow melting circuit 36, the hot water in the snow melting circuit 36 is heated by the snow melting heat exchanger 35, and the heated hot water is heated to the snow melting roadbed. 34 is sent to snowmelt.

このように、本実施形態においては、熱負荷において高い能力が求められている場合であっても、求められた高い能力に対応することができる。具体的には、通常のR410A冷媒を用いたヒートポンプでは得ることができない高い温度の温水を各熱負荷に供給することができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, even when a high capability is required in the heat load, the required high capability can be handled. Specifically, high-temperature hot water that cannot be obtained by a heat pump using a normal R410A refrigerant can be supplied to each heat load.

次に、図6を参照して、夏季において空調用ヒートポンプ3で冷房運転が行われ、同時に給湯用ヒートポンプ2で給湯運転が行われている際の作動について説明する。空調用ヒートポンプ3で冷房運転が行われているときは、空調用冷媒回路22において、圧縮機23により圧縮された冷媒が四方弁24を介して第4熱交換器27に送られ、膨張弁26を介して第3熱交換器25に送られ、さらに四方弁24を介して圧縮機23に戻される。このとき、第4熱交換器27が凝縮器となり、第3熱交換器25が蒸発器となっている。   Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the operation when the cooling operation is performed by the air conditioning heat pump 3 and the hot water supply operation is performed by the hot water supply heat pump 2 in the summer will be described. When the air conditioning heat pump 3 is performing a cooling operation, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 23 in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 22 is sent to the fourth heat exchanger 27 via the four-way valve 24, and the expansion valve 26. To the third heat exchanger 25, and then returned to the compressor 23 via the four-way valve 24. At this time, the fourth heat exchanger 27 is a condenser, and the third heat exchanger 25 is an evaporator.

また、冷房運転が行われているときは、熱負荷に供給される温水が第3熱交換器25によって冷却されるため、第3温水往路28及び第3温水復路30内には低温の冷水が循環している。一方、第4熱交換器27においては、第4循環ポンプ40により送られた温水が加熱され、第4温水往路37を介して第2地中熱採熱管39に温水が送られ、この第2地中熱採熱管39において地中に冷房時の排熱が排出され、第4温水復路38を介して第4循環ポンプ40に温水が戻される。   Further, when the cooling operation is performed, since the hot water supplied to the heat load is cooled by the third heat exchanger 25, low-temperature cold water is contained in the third hot water forward path 28 and the third hot water return path 30. It is circulating. On the other hand, in the 4th heat exchanger 27, the warm water sent by the 4th circulation pump 40 is heated, and warm water is sent to the 2nd underground heat collection pipe 39 via the 4th warm water going way 37, and this 2nd In the underground heat collecting pipe 39, the exhaust heat at the time of cooling is discharged into the ground, and the warm water is returned to the fourth circulation pump 40 via the fourth warm water return path 38.

このとき、給湯用ヒートポンプ2においては、給湯用冷媒回路5が運転され、第2循環ポンプ21により送られた温水は、第2熱交換器9によって熱交換が行われて冷却され、第1温水往路10、第2三方弁19を介して第1地中熱採熱管16に送られる。そして、この第1地中熱採熱管16内で地中熱の採熱を行って温水を加熱し、加熱された温水を第1温水復路13、第3三方弁20を介して第2循環ポンプ21に戻している。   At this time, in the hot water supply heat pump 2, the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 5 is operated, and the hot water sent by the second circulation pump 21 is cooled by the heat exchange performed by the second heat exchanger 9. It is sent to the first underground heat collecting pipe 16 through the forward path 10 and the second three-way valve 19. Then, geothermal heat is collected in the first geothermal heat collecting pipe 16 to heat the hot water, and the heated hot water is supplied to the second circulation pump via the first hot water return path 13 and the third three-way valve 20. Return to 21.

このように、本実施形態においては、空調用ヒートポンプ3において冷房運転が行われ、同時に給湯用ヒートポンプ2において給湯運転が行われているときは、冷房によって生じる空調用ヒートポンプ3の冷房排熱が第2地中熱採熱管39を介して地中に設置された地中管46内に排出され、同時に第1地中熱採熱管16によって地中管46内の熱を採熱している。したがって、空調用ヒートポンプ3によって生じた冷房排熱を給湯用ヒートポンプ2における給湯運転に利用することができるため、ヒートポンプシステム1全体の成績係数を上昇させることができる。   Thus, in the present embodiment, when the cooling operation is performed in the air conditioning heat pump 3, and at the same time the hot water supply operation is performed in the hot water supply heat pump 2, the cooling exhaust heat of the air conditioning heat pump 3 generated by the cooling is first. 2 It is discharged into the underground pipe 46 installed underground through the underground heat collecting pipe 39, and at the same time, the heat in the underground pipe 46 is collected by the first underground heat collecting pipe 16. Therefore, since the cooling exhaust heat generated by the air conditioning heat pump 3 can be used for the hot water supply operation in the hot water supply heat pump 2, the coefficient of performance of the entire heat pump system 1 can be increased.

尚、上記実施形態においては、第2温度センサT2の検出値の閾値として40℃という値を用いているが、これに限らずヒートポンプシステム1の設置された環境に応じて適宜定めることができる。同様に、熱負荷によって要求される高負荷運転時の温水の温度についても、上記実施形態のように75℃ではなく、他の値にすることができる。また、給湯用冷媒回路5においては、二酸化炭素を冷媒として用いているが、これに限らず、サイクルの高圧側が超臨界状態となる冷媒であれば、他の冷媒を用いてもよい。また、空調用冷媒回路22における冷媒もR410A以外の冷媒を用いてもよい。   In the above embodiment, a value of 40 ° C. is used as the threshold value of the detection value of the second temperature sensor T2, but the value is not limited to this and can be determined as appropriate according to the environment in which the heat pump system 1 is installed. Similarly, the temperature of the hot water at the time of high load operation required by the heat load can be set to other values instead of 75 ° C. as in the above embodiment. Further, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 5, carbon dioxide is used as a refrigerant. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other refrigerants may be used as long as the high pressure side of the cycle is in a supercritical state. Further, a refrigerant other than R410A may be used as the refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 22.
