The present invention relates to a heat pump hot water supply apparatus, and more particularly to a housing that houses a heat pump cycle circuit and a hot water storage tank.

従来、この種のヒートポンプ給湯装置として、圧縮機と、この圧縮機から吐出される冷媒と水とを熱交換する水冷媒熱交換器と、この水冷媒熱交換器からの冷媒を減圧する減圧装置と、この減圧装置と圧縮機の間に設けられた蒸発用熱交換器と、水冷媒熱交換器によって温められた給湯用水を貯める貯湯タンクと、この貯湯タンク内の給湯用水を水冷媒熱交換器を介してこの貯湯タンクに戻す水循環経路とを備えたヒートポンプ給湯機において、圧縮機、水冷媒熱交換器、蒸発用熱交換器、減圧装置および貯湯タンクを同じ筐体に収容することを特徴としている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
特開2003−279133号公報
Conventionally, as this type of heat pump hot water supply device, a compressor, a water refrigerant heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant discharged from the compressor and water, and a pressure reducing device that decompresses the refrigerant from the water refrigerant heat exchanger A heat exchanger for evaporation provided between the pressure reducing device and the compressor, a hot water storage tank for storing hot water heated by the water refrigerant heat exchanger, and water hot water in the hot water storage tank for water refrigerant heat exchange In the heat pump water heater having a water circulation path that returns to the hot water storage tank through a heater, the compressor, the water refrigerant heat exchanger, the heat exchanger for evaporation, the decompression device, and the hot water storage tank are housed in the same housing (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP 2003-279133 A

しかしながら、上記特許文献1では、ヒートポンプ回路を構成する蒸発用熱交換器の詳細な形状については記載されていないが、一般的には、図7に示すように、蒸発用熱交換器110の全体形状をL字状に形成して、その前方に送風機120とこれらの横方向に貯湯タンク130とを配置するように筐体100内に収容している。   However, in Patent Document 1, the detailed shape of the evaporation heat exchanger constituting the heat pump circuit is not described, but generally, as shown in FIG. 7, the entire evaporation heat exchanger 110 is shown. The shape is formed in an L shape, and the blower 120 and the hot water storage tank 130 are disposed in front of the fan 120 and are housed in the housing 100.

そして、その筐体100の背面側と側面側とには吸入口140が形成され、その吸入口140と対向する側に蒸発用熱交換器110で熱交換された空気を吹き出す吹出口150が形成されている。   A suction port 140 is formed on the back side and side surface side of the housing 100, and a blower port 150 for blowing out the air heat-exchanged by the evaporating heat exchanger 110 is formed on the side facing the suction port 140. Has been.

そして、このような構成による筐体100を家屋の軒下もしくはマンションのベランダなど狭隘地に設置した場合、吐出口150から吹き出された空気が壁などに当たり、筐体100の近傍に跳ね返り再び吸入口140より吸込まれてしまうショートサーキットが生ずる可能性がある。   When the casing 100 having such a configuration is installed in a confined area such as a house eaves or a condominium veranda, the air blown from the discharge port 150 hits a wall or the like, rebounds in the vicinity of the casing 100, and again the suction port 140. There is a possibility that a short circuit will be sucked in more.

また、貯湯タンク130と上記ヒートポンプ回路構成部品とを同じ筐体100内に収容すると、必要給湯量を貯える貯湯タンク130とその貯湯タンク130を包囲する断熱部材160を含めた大きさにより奥行方向が決定されるため、概して奥行方向の厚さが大きくなることで、狭隘地に設置する場合には設置の自由度が低下する問題がある。   In addition, when the hot water storage tank 130 and the heat pump circuit components are housed in the same casing 100, the depth direction depends on the size including the hot water storage tank 130 that stores the required hot water supply amount and the heat insulating member 160 that surrounds the hot water storage tank 130. Therefore, since the thickness in the depth direction is generally increased, there is a problem that the degree of freedom of installation is lowered when installing in a confined area.

そこで、本発明の目的は、上記点に鑑みたものであり、ショートサーキットを抑制することができるとともに設置の自由度が向上できるヒートポンプ給湯装置を提供することにある。   Then, the objective of this invention is in view of the said point, and is providing the heat pump hot-water supply apparatus which can suppress a short circuit and can improve the freedom degree of installation.

(第1実施形態)
以下、本発明の第1実施形態によるヒートポンプ給湯装置を図1ないし図3に基づいて説明する。図1は本発明のヒートポンプ給湯装置を適用した筐体20の設置形態を示す模式図である。図2は筐体20に収容する構成部品の配置形態を示す模式図であり、図3は本実施形態のヒートポンプ給湯装置の全体構成を示す模式図である。
(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a heat pump water heater according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an installation form of a casing 20 to which the heat pump hot water supply apparatus of the present invention is applied. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an arrangement form of components housed in the housing 20, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an overall configuration of the heat pump hot water supply apparatus of the present embodiment.

本実施形態のヒートポンプ給湯装置は、給湯用水を貯える貯湯タンク10と、その貯湯タンク10内の給湯用水を加熱する加熱手段26とが同じ筐体20に収容されている。加熱手段26は、図3に示すように、圧縮機21、水冷媒熱交換器22、減圧装置である膨張弁23、蒸発用熱交換器24およびアキュームレータ25を順に環状に冷媒配管で接続してなるヒートポンプサイクル回路で構成している。   In the heat pump hot water supply apparatus of the present embodiment, a hot water storage tank 10 for storing hot water supply water and a heating means 26 for heating the hot water supply water in the hot water storage tank 10 are accommodated in the same casing 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the heating means 26 includes a compressor 21, a water refrigerant heat exchanger 22, an expansion valve 23 that is a decompression device, an evaporating heat exchanger 24, and an accumulator 25 that are sequentially connected in an annular manner through a refrigerant pipe. It consists of a heat pump cycle circuit.

このヒートポンプサイクル回路は、冷媒として二酸化炭素(CO2)を用いた超臨界式ヒートポンプサイクルである。圧縮機21は、内蔵する電動モータ(図示せず)によって駆動され、アキュームレータ25より吸引した気相冷媒を臨界圧力以上まで圧縮して吐出する。なお、圧縮機21の駆動源は電動モータに限定されない。 This heat pump cycle circuit is a supercritical heat pump cycle using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a refrigerant. The compressor 21 is driven by a built-in electric motor (not shown), and compresses and discharges the gas-phase refrigerant sucked from the accumulator 25 to a critical pressure or higher. In addition, the drive source of the compressor 21 is not limited to an electric motor.

水冷媒熱交換器22は、圧縮機21により吐出された高温冷媒(ホットガス)と循環ポンプ29により貯湯タンク10内から吸入された水とを熱交換する熱交換器である。そして、冷媒が流れる冷媒通路22aと水が流れる水通路22bとを有し、冷媒通路22aを流れる冷媒の流れ方向と水通路22bを流れる水の流れ方向とが対向するように構成されている。   The water-refrigerant heat exchanger 22 is a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the high-temperature refrigerant (hot gas) discharged by the compressor 21 and the water drawn from the hot water storage tank 10 by the circulation pump 29. And it has the refrigerant path 22a through which a refrigerant | coolant flows, and the water path 22b through which water flows, and the flow direction of the refrigerant | coolant which flows through the refrigerant path 22a and the flow direction of the water which flows through the water path 22b oppose.

なお、水冷媒熱交換器22の冷媒通路22aを流れる冷媒は、圧縮機21で臨界圧力以上に加圧されているので、水冷媒熱交換器22の水通路22bを流通する水に放熱して温度低下しても凝縮することはない。   Since the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant passage 22a of the water refrigerant heat exchanger 22 is pressurized to a critical pressure or higher by the compressor 21, it dissipates heat to the water flowing through the water passage 22b of the water refrigerant heat exchanger 22. It does not condense even when the temperature drops.

膨張弁23は、水冷媒熱交換器22から流出す冷媒を弁開度に応じて減圧する減圧装置であり、制御装置(図示せず)により弁開度が制御される。蒸発用熱交換器24は、膨張弁23で減圧された冷媒と送風手段である送風機24aによって送風される空気とを熱交換させて空気から冷媒に熱を吸収させる蒸発器である。   The expansion valve 23 is a decompression device that decompresses the refrigerant flowing out of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 22 according to the valve opening degree, and the valve opening degree is controlled by a control device (not shown). The evaporating heat exchanger 24 is an evaporator that exchanges heat between the refrigerant decompressed by the expansion valve 23 and the air blown by the blower 24a that is a blowing means, and absorbs heat from the air to the refrigerant.

本実施形態の蒸発用熱交換器24は、チューブとプレートフィンとからなるプレートフィンアンドチューブ方式の熱交換器であって、全体形状がフラット状に形成されている。そして、アキュームレータ25は、蒸発用熱交換器24より流出する冷媒を気液分離して、気相冷媒のみを圧縮機21に吸引させるとともにサイクル中の余剰冷媒を貯える容器である。   The evaporation heat exchanger 24 of the present embodiment is a plate fin and tube type heat exchanger composed of a tube and a plate fin, and the entire shape is formed in a flat shape. The accumulator 25 is a container that gas-liquid separates the refrigerant flowing out from the evaporating heat exchanger 24 so that only the gas-phase refrigerant is sucked into the compressor 21 and stores excess refrigerant in the cycle.

貯湯タンク10は、耐食性に優れた金属製(例えば、ステンレス製)の略円筒状に形成された容器であって、その外周部は断熱部材13によって覆われており、貯湯タンク10内の高温の給湯用水を長時間に渡って保温することができる。   The hot water storage tank 10 is a container made of a metal (for example, made of stainless steel) having a substantially cylindrical shape and excellent in corrosion resistance, and its outer peripheral portion is covered with a heat insulating member 13. Hot water can be kept warm for a long time.

また、貯湯タンク10の下部には導水口10aが設けられ、この導水口10aには貯湯タンク10内に水道水を導入する給水用経路である給水用配管12が接続されている。その給水用配管12には、給水温度を検出する給水サーミスタ16aが設けられており、給水用配管12内の温度情報を図示しない制御装置に出力するようになっている。   Further, a water inlet 10 a is provided at the lower part of the hot water storage tank 10, and a water supply pipe 12 that is a water supply path for introducing tap water into the hot water storage tank 10 is connected to the water inlet 10 a.

また、給水用配管12には、導入口10aに導入される水道水の水圧を所定圧となるように調節するとともに、断水などにおける湯の逆流を防止する減圧逆止弁(図示せず)が設けられている。さらに、給水用配管12の下流端は、導入口10aの他に後述する給湯用混合弁18の一方の入口側に繋がれ、貯湯タンク10および給湯用混合弁18に水道水を導入するようにしている。   In addition, the water supply pipe 12 has a pressure reducing check valve (not shown) that adjusts the water pressure of the tap water introduced into the introduction port 10a to a predetermined pressure and prevents the back flow of hot water in the case of water interruption. Is provided. Furthermore, the downstream end of the water supply pipe 12 is connected to one inlet side of a hot water mixing valve 18 (to be described later) in addition to the introduction port 10a, so that tap water is introduced into the hot water storage tank 10 and the hot water mixing valve 18. ing.

貯湯タンク10の上部には導出口10bが設けられ、この導出口10bには貯湯タンク10内の高温の給湯用水を導出するための給湯用経路である導出管17が接続されている。この導出管17には、給水用配管12との合流点に給湯用混合弁18が配設されている。   A lead-out port 10b is provided in the upper part of the hot water storage tank 10, and a lead-out pipe 17 serving as a hot water supply path for leading out hot water for hot water in the hot water storage tank 10 is connected to the lead-out port 10b. The outlet pipe 17 is provided with a hot water supply mixing valve 18 at a junction with the water supply pipe 12.

この給湯用混合弁18は、開口面積比(導出管17に連通する給湯用水側の開度と水道水側の開度の比率)を調節することにより、下流端に配設される使用末端である給湯水栓、シャワー、風呂などに高温の給湯用水と水とを適宜に混合して給湯するようになっている。   The mixing valve 18 for hot water supply is used at the use end disposed at the downstream end by adjusting the opening area ratio (the ratio of the opening degree on the hot water supply side communicating with the outlet pipe 17 and the opening degree on the tap water side). Some hot water faucets, showers, baths, and the like mix hot water and water appropriately to supply hot water.

なお、この導出管17の経路途中には、空気逃がし弁(図示せず)が配設された排出配管(図示せず)を接続しており、貯湯タンク10内の圧力が所定圧以上に上昇した場合には、貯湯タンク10内の給湯用水を外部に排出して、貯湯タンク10等にダメージを与えないようになっている。   A discharge pipe (not shown) provided with an air relief valve (not shown) is connected midway along the route of the outlet pipe 17, and the pressure in the hot water storage tank 10 rises to a predetermined pressure or higher. In this case, the hot water supply water in the hot water storage tank 10 is discharged to the outside so as not to damage the hot water storage tank 10 and the like.

また、給湯用混合弁18の下流側には、導出管17内を導出する給湯用水の流量情報を検出する流量カウンタ19と、導出管17内を導出する給湯用水の湯温を検出する出湯サーミスタ16bが設けられ、出湯サーミスタ16b、および流量カウンタ19により検出された温度情報および流量情報を図示しない制御装置に出力するようになっている。   Further, on the downstream side of the hot water supply mixing valve 18, a flow rate counter 19 that detects flow rate information of hot water for the hot water led out in the outlet pipe 17, and a hot water thermistor that detects the hot water temperature of the hot water for the hot water led out in the outlet pipe 17. 16b is provided to output temperature information and flow rate information detected by the hot water thermistor 16b and the flow rate counter 19 to a control device (not shown).

また、この導出管17の下流端は台所、洗面、浴室などに配設された使用末端である給湯水栓、シャワー水栓などに通じており、それらの給湯水栓、シャワー水栓が開弁したときに、使用者が設定した設定温度に調節された給湯用水が出湯される。なお、流量カウンタ19が導出管17内の給湯用水の流れを検出したときは、給湯水栓、シャワー水栓等のいずれかで給湯用水が使用されていることである。   Further, the downstream end of the outlet pipe 17 leads to a hot water faucet, a shower faucet, etc., which are used terminals in a kitchen, a bathroom, a bathroom, etc., and the hot water faucet and the shower faucet are opened. The hot water supply water adjusted to the set temperature set by the user is discharged. When the flow counter 19 detects the flow of hot water in the outlet pipe 17, hot water is being used in either a hot water tap or a shower tap.

一方、貯湯タンク10の下部には貯湯タンク10内の水を吸入するための吸入口10cが設けられ、貯湯タンク10の上部には貯湯タンク10内に高温の給湯用水を吐出するための吐出口10dが設けられている。吸入口10cと吐出口10dとは水循環経路28で接続されており、この水循環経路28には、加熱手段26の水冷媒熱交換器22が設けられている。   On the other hand, a suction port 10 c for sucking water in the hot water storage tank 10 is provided at the lower part of the hot water storage tank 10, and a discharge port for discharging hot water for hot water into the hot water storage tank 10 at the upper part of the hot water storage tank 10. 10d is provided. The suction port 10 c and the discharge port 10 d are connected by a water circulation path 28, and a water refrigerant heat exchanger 22 for the heating means 26 is provided in the water circulation path 28.

そして、水循環経路28の水冷媒熱交換器22の水通路22bより下流側に循環ポンプ29を設けている。なお、この循環ポンプ29の配設は水冷媒熱交換器22よりも上流側に配設しても良い。なお、水冷媒熱交換器22の下流側には、水冷媒熱交換器22により加熱された湯温を検出する湯温センサ(図示せず)が設けられ、図示しない制御装置に貯湯タンク10内に戻る給湯用水の温度情報を出力するようにしている。 A circulation pump 29 is provided downstream of the water passage 22 b of the water refrigerant heat exchanger 22 in the water circulation path 28. The circulation pump 29 may be disposed upstream of the water / refrigerant heat exchanger 22. A hot water temperature sensor (not shown) for detecting the temperature of the hot water heated by the water refrigerant heat exchanger 22 is provided on the downstream side of the water refrigerant heat exchanger 22, and a control device (not shown) The temperature information of the hot water for returning to is output.

なお、貯湯タンク10の外壁面には、給湯用水の貯湯量、もしくは貯湯温度を検出するための水温センサである複数の貯湯サーミスタ(図示せず)が縦方向(タンクの高さ方向)にほぼ等間隔に配置され、貯湯タンク10内に満たされた給湯用水の各水位レベルでの温度情報を図示しない制御装置に出力するようにしている。   A plurality of hot water storage thermistors (not shown), which are water temperature sensors for detecting the amount of hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 10 or the temperature of the hot water storage, are arranged in the vertical direction (the height direction of the tank). Temperature information at each water level of hot water supply water that is arranged at equal intervals and filled in the hot water storage tank 10 is output to a control device (not shown).

これにより、複数の貯湯サーミスタ(図示せず)からの温度情報によって貯湯タンク10内の温度状態を検出できるとともに、沸き上げられた湯温と沸き上げられる前の低温の給湯用水との境界位置を検出することができる。   Thus, the temperature state in the hot water storage tank 10 can be detected based on temperature information from a plurality of hot water storage thermistors (not shown), and the boundary position between the heated hot water temperature and the low temperature hot water before being heated can be determined. Can be detected.

図示しない制御装置は、マイクロコンピュータを主体として構成され、内蔵のROM(図示せず)には、予め設定された制御プログラムが設けられており、給水出湯サーミスタ16a、16bを含め各サーミスタからの温度情報、流量カウンタ19からの流量情報および図示しない操作盤の操作スイッチからの操作信号等に基づいて、圧縮機21(実質的には駆動源である電動モータ)、膨張弁23、送風機24aおよび循環ポンプ29、給湯用混合弁18を通電制御するとともに、圧縮機21の作動状態や膨張弁23の開度などを監視している。   A control device (not shown) is mainly composed of a microcomputer, and a built-in ROM (not shown) is provided with a preset control program, and the temperature from each thermistor including the hot water and hot water thermistors 16a and 16b. Based on the information, the flow rate information from the flow rate counter 19 and the operation signal from the operation switch on the operation panel (not shown), the compressor 21 (substantially an electric motor as a drive source), the expansion valve 23, the blower 24a and the circulation While energizing and controlling the pump 29 and the hot water mixing valve 18, the operating state of the compressor 21 and the opening degree of the expansion valve 23 are monitored.

次に、加熱手段26、貯湯タンク10、および貯湯タンク10回りの配管経路28、12、17は、筐体20内に収容されており、例えば、家庭用空調装置の室外ユニットのように、家屋の軒下、もしくはマンションのベランダなどの室外に設置される。ところで、この種の筐体20を家屋の軒下もしくはマンションのベランダなど狭隘地に設置するためには、奥行方向が薄くなるような向きに配置される。   Next, the heating means 26, the hot water storage tank 10, and the piping paths 28, 12, and 17 around the hot water storage tank 10 are accommodated in the housing 20, for example, like an outdoor unit of a home air conditioner. It is installed outside the eaves of the house or on the veranda of the apartment. By the way, in order to install this type of casing 20 in a confined area such as a house eaves or an apartment veranda, the casing 20 is arranged in such a direction that the depth direction becomes thinner.

そこで、本発明では、奥行方向を薄くするように、加熱手段26、貯湯タンク10、および貯湯タンク10回りの配管経路28、12、17を収容させている。以下、筐体20内における各機器の収容位置について説明する。具体的には、図1および図2に示すように、蒸発用熱交換器24がその通風方向が奥行方向と同じ方向となるように配設されており、蒸発用熱交換器24の前方に送風機24aが配設される。   Therefore, in the present invention, the heating means 26, the hot water storage tank 10, and the piping paths 28, 12, and 17 around the hot water storage tank 10 are accommodated so as to make the depth direction thinner. Hereinafter, the accommodation position of each apparatus in the housing | casing 20 is demonstrated. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the evaporating heat exchanger 24 is disposed so that the ventilation direction is the same as the depth direction, and in front of the evaporating heat exchanger 24. A blower 24a is provided.

そして、蒸発用熱交換器24と対向する筐体20の壁面には、筐体20の外部から蒸発用熱交換器24へと空気を流入させる吸込口20bが形成されており、その吸込口20bが形成された筐体20の壁面と対向する壁面には、蒸発用熱交換器24を通過した空気を筐体20の外部へと吹き出す吹出口20aが形成されている。また、蒸発用熱交換器24の側方には貯湯タンク10が配設されている。   A suction port 20b through which air flows from the outside of the housing 20 to the evaporation heat exchanger 24 is formed on the wall surface of the housing 20 facing the evaporation heat exchanger 24, and the suction port 20b. On the wall surface facing the wall surface of the housing 20 in which is formed, an air outlet 20a for blowing the air that has passed through the evaporating heat exchanger 24 to the outside of the housing 20 is formed. A hot water storage tank 10 is disposed on the side of the evaporation heat exchanger 24.

蒸発用熱交換器24と送風機24aとが配される空間は、貯湯タンク10が配される空間よりも奥行方向(蒸発用熱交換器24の通風方向)の幅が小さく、筐体20の外形は、蒸発用熱交換器24および送風機24aが収容される部分が、貯湯タンク10が収容される部分よりも奥行方向において薄い形状を有している。   The space in which the evaporation heat exchanger 24 and the blower 24a are arranged has a smaller width in the depth direction (the ventilation direction of the evaporation heat exchanger 24) than the space in which the hot water storage tank 10 is arranged, and the outer shape of the housing 20 The part in which the heat exchanger 24 for evaporation and the air blower 24a are accommodated has a shape thinner in the depth direction than the part in which the hot water storage tank 10 is accommodated.

家屋の軒下もしくはマンションのベランダなど狭隘地に筐体20を設置する場合、図1に示すように、吸込口20bが形成された背面側に風通路(例えば、壁から10cm以上の空間)を設けて設置される。この筐体20の外形を蒸発用熱交換器24および送風機24aが収容される部分が、貯湯タンク10が収容される部分よりも奥行方向が薄くなるように形成することで、吹出口20aの前方側に空間が形成され、送風機24aで吹き出された風の通路を少しでも多く確保できる。   When the housing 20 is installed in a narrow space such as under a house eaves or on the veranda of an apartment, as shown in FIG. Installed. By forming the outer shape of the casing 20 so that the portion in which the evaporation heat exchanger 24 and the blower 24a are accommodated is thinner in the depth direction than the portion in which the hot water storage tank 10 is accommodated, the front of the outlet 20a. A space is formed on the side, and a large number of wind passages blown out by the blower 24a can be secured.

これによれば、貯湯タンク10側と、蒸発用熱交換器24および送風機24a側との奥行方向の厚さが異なることで、送風機24aで吹き出された風通路を形成することができる。従って、筐体20が狭隘地に設置された場合、吹き出された熱交換後の空気が蒸発用熱交換器24の吸込み側に回りこむシュートサーキットの防止が図れる。   According to this, since the thickness in the depth direction is different between the hot water storage tank 10 side and the evaporation heat exchanger 24 and the blower 24a side, an air passage blown out by the blower 24a can be formed. Therefore, when the casing 20 is installed in a confined area, it is possible to prevent a chute circuit in which the blown-out air after the heat exchange flows into the suction side of the evaporation heat exchanger 24.

また、吸込口20bを蒸発用熱交換器24と対向する筐体20の壁面のみに形成することで、図1に示すように、筐体20の側面側を壁に接近できるので、送風機24aで吹き出された空気が吸込口20bに回り込むことを抑制することができる。   Further, by forming the suction port 20b only on the wall surface of the housing 20 facing the evaporation heat exchanger 24, the side surface side of the housing 20 can be approached to the wall as shown in FIG. It is possible to suppress the blown air from flowing into the suction port 20b.

また、従来形成していた筐体20の側面側の吸入口をなくすことにより、筐体20の側面側を壁など接近させて設置させることも可能となる。筐体20の側面側を壁など接近させて設置することによって、吹出口20aから吹き出された空気が背面側の吸込口20bに回りこむショートサーキットをさらに抑制することができるとともに、より必要とされる設置スペースを小さくすることができ、設置の自由度が向上する。   In addition, by removing the suction port on the side surface of the housing 20 that has been conventionally formed, the side surface of the housing 20 can be installed close to a wall or the like. By installing the side surface side of the housing 20 close to a wall or the like, it is possible to further suppress the short circuit in which the air blown from the air outlet 20a wraps around the suction port 20b on the back side, and is more necessary. Installation space can be reduced, and the degree of freedom of installation is improved.

ところで、この種の貯湯タンク10側の奥行はタンクの貯湯量に応じて決定される。より具体的には、家庭用の給湯装置では、貯湯量として約100L〜180L程度の容量の貯湯タンク10を必要としている。これは、貯湯タンク10の高さを1.3m程度とすると直径が31〜42cm程度となり、この直径に断熱部材13の厚さを加算することで奥行方向の厚さが決定される。   By the way, the depth of this type of hot water storage tank 10 is determined according to the amount of hot water stored in the tank. More specifically, a domestic hot water supply apparatus requires a hot water storage tank 10 having a capacity of about 100 L to 180 L as a hot water storage amount. When the height of the hot water storage tank 10 is about 1.3 m, the diameter is about 31 to 42 cm, and the thickness in the depth direction is determined by adding the thickness of the heat insulating member 13 to this diameter.

ここで、断熱部材13として、ガラスウール、発砲ポリステレンなどの一般的な汎用断熱材を用いると、約2cm程度必要とするので奥行方向の厚さが35〜46cm程度となる。従って、蒸発用熱交換器24および送風機24a側を上述したよりも薄くするように形成することで、最大の風通路の形成ができる。   Here, when a general general-purpose heat insulating material such as glass wool or foamed polystyrene is used as the heat insulating member 13, about 2 cm is required, so that the thickness in the depth direction is about 35 to 46 cm. Therefore, the maximum air passage can be formed by forming the evaporation heat exchanger 24 and the blower 24a so as to be thinner than those described above.

また、図2に示すように、蒸発用熱交換器24および送風機24aが収容される部分と、貯湯タンク10が収容される部分とを接続する傾斜面部後方にフラット状を有する水冷媒熱交換器22を配してもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the water refrigerant heat exchanger having a flat shape behind the inclined surface portion connecting the portion in which the heat exchanger for evaporation 24 and the blower 24 a are accommodated and the portion in which the hot water storage tank 10 is accommodated. 22 may be arranged.

そして、圧縮機21は送風機24aの下方部に配し、図示していないが膨張弁23およびアキュームレータ25は、その圧縮機21の近傍に設置すると良い。また、水循環経路28は貯湯タンク10と水冷媒熱交換器22との近傍に配置し、給水用経路12および給湯用経路である導出管17は貯湯タンク10の近傍に配置すると良い。   The compressor 21 is disposed below the blower 24a, and although not shown, the expansion valve 23 and the accumulator 25 are preferably installed in the vicinity of the compressor 21. The water circulation path 28 may be disposed in the vicinity of the hot water storage tank 10 and the water refrigerant heat exchanger 22, and the water supply path 12 and the outlet pipe 17 serving as the hot water supply path may be disposed in the vicinity of the hot water storage tank 10.

なお、図2中に示す高さH、奥行D1、奥行D2および幅Wなどの筐体20の外形寸法は、貯湯量を約120L程度とすると、高さHが140cm、奥行D1が43cm、奥行D2が30cm、幅Wが90cmで形成できる。   The outer dimensions of the housing 20 such as the height H, the depth D1, the depth D2, and the width W shown in FIG. 2 are a height H of 140 cm, a depth D1 of 43 cm and a depth of about 120 L. It can be formed with D2 of 30 cm and a width W of 90 cm.

また、以上の構成による筐体20は、図1に示すように、吸込口20bが形成された背面側に風通路(例えば、壁から約10cm以上の空間)を設けて設置すれば良い。これにより、家屋の軒下もしくはマンションのベランダなど狭隘地に設置ができる。なお、筐体20の側面側は壁に接近させても良い。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the casing 20 having the above configuration may be installed with a wind passage (for example, a space of about 10 cm or more from the wall) provided on the back side where the suction port 20b is formed. This makes it possible to install in confined areas such as under the eaves of houses or on the veranda of apartments. In addition, you may make the side surface side of the housing | casing 20 approach a wall.

(第2実施形態)
以上の第1実施形態では、蒸発用熱交換器24と送風機24aとを前後方向に配置し、これらの横方向に貯湯タンク10を筐体20内に収容するように配置したが、これに限らず、蒸発用熱交換器24と送風機24aとを前後方向に配置し、これらの下方向に貯湯タンク10を筐体20内に収容するように配置しても良い。
(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, the evaporating heat exchanger 24 and the blower 24a are arranged in the front-rear direction, and the hot water storage tank 10 is arranged so as to be accommodated in the casing 20 in the lateral direction. Instead, the evaporating heat exchanger 24 and the blower 24a may be disposed in the front-rear direction, and the hot water storage tank 10 may be disposed in the casing 20 in the lower direction.

具体的には、図4に示すように、筐体20の下方部に貯湯タンク10を配置し、その上方に蒸発用熱交換器24と送風機24aとを配置している。ただし、筐体20の外形のうち、幅Wを第1実施形態と同じようにすると、奥行D1がやや増加するが吹出口20a前方の風通路を大きく確保することができる。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the hot water storage tank 10 is disposed in the lower part of the housing 20, and the evaporation heat exchanger 24 and the blower 24 a are disposed above the hot water storage tank 10. However, if the width W of the outer shape of the housing 20 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the depth D1 is slightly increased, but a large air passage in front of the air outlet 20a can be secured.

(第3実施形態)
以上の実施形態では、水循環経路28における貯湯タンク10への接続先である吸入口10cおよび給水用配管12の貯湯タンク10への接続先である導入口10aを貯湯タンク10の下部に形成したが、これに限らず、具体的には、図5に示すように、貯湯タンク10の上部に形成しても良い。
(Third embodiment)
In the above embodiment, the suction port 10 c that is the connection destination to the hot water storage tank 10 in the water circulation path 28 and the introduction port 10 a that is the connection destination of the water supply pipe 12 to the hot water storage tank 10 are formed in the lower part of the hot water storage tank 10. Not limited to this, specifically, as shown in FIG.

ただし、この場合には、水循環経路28の上流端が貯湯タンク10内の下部の水を吸入するように貯湯タンク10内に水循環経路28の上流端を吸入口10cよりも延ばしている。さらに、給水用配管12の下流端が貯湯タンク10内の下部に導入するように貯湯タンク10内に給水用配管12の下流端を導入口10aよりも延ばしている。   However, in this case, the upstream end of the water circulation path 28 is extended into the hot water storage tank 10 beyond the suction port 10c so that the upstream end of the water circulation path 28 sucks water in the lower part of the hot water storage tank 10. Further, the downstream end of the water supply pipe 12 is extended from the introduction port 10 a into the hot water storage tank 10 so that the downstream end of the water supply pipe 12 is introduced into the lower part of the hot water storage tank 10.

これによれば、水循環経路28、給水用配管12および導出管17は、貯湯タンク10との接続先が貯湯タンク10の上方に形成されていることで、貯湯タンク10の外郭が簡素となることで、貯湯タンク10の外周に設ける断熱部材13が簡素な形状で形成できる。これにより、奥行方向の厚さが最小寸法で形成できる。従って、筐体20の奥行方向を薄くすることができるとともに設置の自由度が向上する。   According to this, the water circulation path 28, the water supply pipe 12 and the outlet pipe 17 are connected to the hot water storage tank 10 above the hot water storage tank 10, thereby simplifying the outline of the hot water storage tank 10. Thus, the heat insulating member 13 provided on the outer periphery of the hot water storage tank 10 can be formed in a simple shape. Thereby, the thickness in the depth direction can be formed with the minimum dimension. Therefore, the depth direction of the housing 20 can be reduced, and the degree of freedom of installation is improved.

(第4実施形態)
以上の実施形態では、断熱部材13として、ガラスウール、発砲ポリステレンなどの一般的な汎用断熱材を用いたが、これに限らず、断熱特性の優れる高性能断熱材を用いて保温しても良い。ただし、この種の装置に用いられる断熱部材13は、概して筐体20容量の10〜15%程度を占めている。従って、全てを高性能断熱材で形成すれば、断熱部材13の厚さを半減できる効果があるが部品コストが大幅に上昇する問題がある。
(Fourth embodiment)
In the above embodiment, a general general-purpose heat insulating material such as glass wool or foamed polystyrene is used as the heat insulating member 13. However, the heat insulating member 13 is not limited to this, and may be kept warm using a high performance heat insulating material having excellent heat insulating properties. . However, the heat insulating member 13 used in this type of apparatus generally occupies about 10 to 15% of the capacity of the housing 20. Therefore, if all are formed of a high-performance heat insulating material, there is an effect that the thickness of the heat insulating member 13 can be halved, but there is a problem that the cost of the parts is significantly increased.

そこで、本実施形態では、断熱部材13を断熱特性の優れる高性能断熱材とその高性能断熱材よりも断熱特性がやや低下するが製造コストの安い汎用断熱材とから組み合わせて形成することで、奥行方向の厚さを薄くできる効果を有する。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, the heat insulating member 13 is formed by combining a high-performance heat insulating material having excellent heat insulating properties and a general-purpose heat insulating material that has a slightly lower heat insulating property than the high-performance heat insulating material, but has a low manufacturing cost. This has the effect of reducing the thickness in the depth direction.

具体的には、高性能断熱材によって貯湯タンク10の高温部(貯湯タンク10の中間部より上方の部位)外周と、その高温部外周以外のうち、奥行方向側の外周とを覆い、汎用断熱材によって、高温部外周および奥行方向側の外周を除く部位を覆う。つまり、奥行方向側に覆う断熱材として高性能断熱材を用いることで断熱材の厚さを薄くすることができる。従って、製造コストを大幅に上昇させることなく、断熱部材13で覆われた貯湯タンク10の奥行方向の幅を小さくすることができる。   Specifically, the high-performance heat insulating material covers the outer periphery of the hot water storage tank 10 (the portion above the intermediate portion of the hot water storage tank 10) and the outer periphery on the depth direction side other than the outer periphery of the hot water storage tank. The material covers the portion excluding the outer periphery of the high temperature portion and the outer periphery on the depth direction side. That is, the thickness of a heat insulating material can be made thin by using a high performance heat insulating material as a heat insulating material covering the depth direction side. Therefore, the width in the depth direction of the hot water storage tank 10 covered with the heat insulating member 13 can be reduced without significantly increasing the manufacturing cost.

なお、高性能断熱材としては、図6に示すイソシアネレートフォームを用いると良い。ここで、図6は断熱部材13における厚さと熱通過率との関係を示す特性図である。つまり、図中の破線で示すガラスウールと図中の一点鎖線で示す発泡ポリステレンとが部品コストの安い汎用断熱材であって、図中の太い実線で示すイソシアネレートフォームが高性能断熱材である。   In addition, it is good to use the isocyanate foam shown in FIG. 6 as a high performance heat insulating material. Here, FIG. 6 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the thickness of the heat insulating member 13 and the heat passage rate. In other words, the glass wool shown by the broken line in the figure and the foamed polysterene shown by the one-dot chain line in the figure are low-cost general-purpose insulation materials, and the isocyanate foam shown by the thick solid line in the figure is a high-performance insulation material. is there.

これによれば、ガラスウールを用いるよりもイソシアネレートフォームを用いると厚さを大幅に低減できる。これにより、筐体20の奥行方向を薄くすることができる。従って設置の自由度が向上する。なお、図中の細い実線で示す真空断熱は、魔法瓶構造のように真空断熱を施したときの特性である。   According to this, the thickness can be greatly reduced when the isocyanate foam is used rather than the glass wool. Thereby, the depth direction of the housing | casing 20 can be made thin. Accordingly, the degree of freedom of installation is improved. In addition, the vacuum heat insulation shown with the thin continuous line in a figure is a characteristic when vacuum heat insulation is given like a thermos structure.

(Other embodiments)
In the above embodiment, the water circulation path 28 is formed so that the hot water supply water heated by the water refrigerant heat exchanger 22 is discharged to the upper part of the hot water storage tank 10, but not limited to this, the water refrigerant heat exchanger 22 is heated. You may comprise so that the hot water supply water discharged may be discharged to the intermediate part of the hot water storage tank 10. FIG.

また、給湯用経路である導出管17を、貯湯タンク10の上部から高温の給湯用水を取り出すように構成したが、これに限らず、導出管17を貯湯タンク10の上部と中間部との両方から、それぞれ高温の給湯用水と中温水の給湯用水を取り出すように形成し、その中温水の給湯用水と高温の給湯用水とを混合するように構成しても良い。   Further, the outlet pipe 17 serving as the hot water supply path is configured to take out hot hot water supply water from the upper part of the hot water storage tank 10. Therefore, the hot water supply water and the hot water supply water may be formed so as to be taken out, respectively, and the hot water supply water and the hot water supply water may be mixed.

さらに、以上の実施形態では、給湯用経路である導出管17をひとつで構成したが、これに限らず、下流端が複数に分岐するように構成しても良い。   Furthermore, in the above embodiment, one outlet pipe 17 that is a hot water supply path is configured. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the downstream end may be branched into a plurality of branches.

また、以上の実施形態では貯湯タンク10を略円筒状に形成して筐体20内に収容したが、これに限らず、矩形状、多角形状などに形成しても良い。また、蒸発用熱交換器24をプレートフィンアンドチューブ方式の熱交換器で構成したが、これに限らず、扁平管を用いたコルゲートフィンタイプの熱交換器で形成しても良い。これによれば、単位能力あたりの容積効率が優れるので蒸発用熱交換器24の厚さを薄くすることができる。   Moreover, although the hot water storage tank 10 was formed in the substantially cylindrical shape and accommodated in the housing | casing 20 in the above embodiment, you may form not only in this but in rectangular shape, polygonal shape, etc. Moreover, although the heat exchanger 24 for evaporation was comprised with the plate fin and tube type heat exchanger, you may form not only this but the corrugated fin type heat exchanger using a flat tube. According to this, since the volumetric efficiency per unit capacity is excellent, the thickness of the evaporation heat exchanger 24 can be reduced.
