第 1 1発明の熱回収路付き給湯装置は、 第 1乃至第 1 0発明のいずれ かにおいて、 前記加熱装置が二酸化炭素冷媒を圧縮機で圧縮する冷凍装 置の二酸化炭素冷媒ガスを冷却する冷媒ガス熱交換器で構成され、 前記 冷却加熱ユニットの冷媒が H F C等の凝縮性冷媒で構成され、 前記冷媒 ガス熱交換器には前記給湯タンクの底部の低温水が流入し前記二酸化炭 素冷媒ガスによって加熱された高温水 (湯) が前記給湯タンクの上部へ 戻る高温水 (湯) 形成路が設けられたことを特徴とする。  A hot water supply apparatus with a heat recovery path according to a first aspect of the present invention is the refrigerant according to any one of the first to the tenth aspects, wherein the heating device cools the carbon dioxide refrigerant gas of a refrigeration apparatus in which the carbon dioxide refrigerant is compressed by a compressor. The refrigerant of the cooling and heating unit is composed of a condensable refrigerant such as HFC, and low-temperature water at the bottom of the hot water supply tank flows into the refrigerant gas heat exchanger, and the carbon dioxide refrigerant gas A high-temperature water (hot water) formation path is provided in which the high-temperature water (hot water) heated by the water returns to the upper part of the hot water supply tank.
第 1発明では、 給湯タンクは、 上水道が減圧弁を介して底部に供給さ れて、 内部が所定の圧力状態に維持される密閉式であるため、 給湯タン ク内の下部から上水道 (例えば 1 5 °C程度の水) がそのまま流入する。 このため、 下部の温度は低く、 上部の温度が高い状態になる。 この上部 の温度が高い湯が洗面台の蛇口や風呂等の利用場所へ供給されて使用さ れ、 使用された湯 (水) の不足分が減圧弁を介して上水道が底部から補 給されることとなる。 この給湯タンク内へその下部から補給された水の 温度も高い温度 (例えば 8 0 °C〜9 0 °C) に上昇させるためには、 加熱 装置を運転する必要があるが、 いずれも加熱装置の運転コス卜がアップ する。 そこで、 本発明の熱回収路内に給湯タンクの下部の低温水を循環 して加熱 (例えば 5 0で程度に加熱) することにより、 冷却加熱ュニッ 卜の放熱器で放熱される熱の有効利用によって、 給湯タンクに溜めた水 の加熱促進効果を図ることができるものとなる。 In the first invention, the hot water supply tank is a sealed type in which the water supply is supplied to the bottom via the pressure reducing valve and the inside is maintained at a predetermined pressure state. Water of about 5 ° C flows in as it is. For this reason, the lower temperature is low and the upper temperature is high. The hot water at the top is supplied to the washbasin faucet, bath, etc., and used, and the shortage of used water (water) is supplied from the bottom through the pressure reducing valve. It will be. The water supplied from the bottom into this hot water tank In order to raise the temperature to a high temperature (for example, 80 ° C. to 90 ° C.), it is necessary to operate the heating device, but both increase the operating cost of the heating device. Therefore, the low-temperature water in the lower part of the hot water tank is circulated in the heat recovery path of the present invention and heated (for example, heated to about 50), thereby effectively using the heat radiated by the radiator of the cooling / heating unit. As a result, the effect of promoting the heating of the water stored in the hot water tank can be achieved.
第 2発明も第 1の発明の効果と同様に、 空気調和装置の放熱器で放熱 される熱の有効利用によって、 給湯タンクの下部に溜めた水を加熱して、 給湯夕ンクの中温の水領域に戻すことにより、 この中温領域とその下方 領域の水の加熱促進効果を図ることができるため、 温度の低い下部領域 の水温上昇に寄与して、 上部の水温低下を起こさせず、 給湯タンクから 所定の高温水を洗面台の蛇口や風呂等の利用場所へ供給できる好ましい ものとなる。  Similarly to the effect of the first invention, the second invention also heats the water stored in the lower part of the hot water tank by the effective use of the heat radiated by the radiator of the air conditioner, so that the medium temperature water of the hot water tank is heated. By returning to the area, it is possible to promote the heating of the water in the intermediate temperature area and the area below it. This contributes to an increase in the water temperature in the lower temperature area, and does not cause a decrease in the upper water temperature. From the above, it is preferable that predetermined high-temperature water can be supplied to a use place such as a faucet of a wash basin or a bath.
第 3発明では、 第 1発明または第 2発明の効果に加えて、 熱回収路で 加熱された温水を給湯タンクの中間入口管へ戻す流出配管を備え、 この 流出配管を通る温水を給湯タンクの上部に設けた上部入口管または中間 入口管のいずれかに供給するように制御する制御弁を設けているため、 給湯タンク内の上部の水温が低い場合は、 熱回収路で加熱された温水を 上部入口管から給湯タンク内へ戻し、 給湯タンク内の上部の水温が高い 場合は、 熱回収路で加熱された温水を中間入口管から給湯タンク内へ戻 すように制御できる。 このため、 給湯タンク内の上部の温度が所定の温 度、 例えば 5 0でよりも低い場合は、 熱回収路で加熱された中温度 (例 えば 5 5 °C程度) の水 (湯) の供給によって、 給湯タンク内の上部の温 度上昇を促進して、 速く給湯タンク内の上部の温度を上昇させることに 寄与できるものとなる。 また、 給湯タンク内の上部の温度が所定の温度 (例えば 9 0 °C ) 以上になっている場合は、 給湯タンク内の上部の高温 が低下しないように、 中間入口管から給湯タンク内へ戻すように制御で きるため、 給湯タンク内の下側の水温上昇に寄与し、 中温の湯の要求に 対しては、 上部の高温の湯を残したままで対応することができるもので ある。 In the third invention, in addition to the effects of the first invention or the second invention, an outflow pipe for returning the hot water heated in the heat recovery path to the intermediate inlet pipe of the hot water tank is provided, and the hot water passing through the outflow pipe is supplied to the hot water tank. Since a control valve is provided to control the supply to either the upper inlet pipe or the intermediate inlet pipe provided in the upper part, if the water temperature in the upper part of the hot water supply tank is low, the hot water heated in the heat recovery path is used. When the water temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank is high, the hot water heated in the heat recovery path can be controlled to return from the intermediate inlet pipe to the hot water tank. For this reason, when the temperature in the upper part of the hot water supply tank is lower than a predetermined temperature, for example, 50, water (hot water) of medium temperature (for example, about 55 ° C) heated in the heat recovery path. By supplying, the temperature rise in the upper part of the hot water tank can be promoted, and the temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank can be quickly increased. In addition, the temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank (For example, 90 ° C) If the temperature is higher than the upper temperature in the hot water tank, it can be controlled to return from the intermediate inlet pipe to the hot water tank so that the upper temperature does not decrease. Therefore, it is possible to respond to the demand for medium-temperature hot water while leaving the hot water at the top.
第 4発明では、 第 1発明または第 2発明の効果に加えて、 給湯タンク 内の水温を検出する水温検出部の検出に基づき、 制御弁を制御して熱回 収路で加熱された温水の流れを、 上部入口管または中間入口管のいずれ かへ切り替え制御する。 このため、 給湯タンク内の上部の水温が所定の 温度、 例えば 5 0 °Cよりも低い場合は、 熱回収路で加熱された温水を上 部入口管から給湯タンク内へ戻して、 給湯タンク内の上部の温度上昇を 促進して、 速く給湯タンク内の上部の温度を上昇させることに寄与でき るものとなる。 また、 給湯タンク内の上部の水温が高い場合は、 例えば 所定の温度 (例えば 9 0 °C) 以上のときは、 熱回収路で加熱された温水 を中間入口管から給湯タンク内へ戻すようにして、 給湯タンク内の上部 の高温が低下しないようにし、 給湯タンク内の下部の水温上昇に寄与す る。 このように、 給湯タンク内の水温に応じて、 熱回収路で加熱された 温水を給湯タンクの上部に戻すか中間部に戻すかのきめ細かい制御を行 えるため、 温度が高い湯の確保ができるものである。  In the fourth invention, in addition to the effects of the first invention or the second invention, the hot water heated in the heat collection path by controlling the control valve based on the detection of the water temperature detecting section for detecting the water temperature in the hot water tank. Switch the flow to either the upper inlet pipe or the intermediate inlet pipe. For this reason, when the temperature of the upper water in the hot water tank is lower than a predetermined temperature, for example, 50 ° C, the hot water heated in the heat recovery path is returned to the hot water tank from the upper inlet pipe, The temperature rise of the upper part of the hot water can be promoted, and the temperature of the upper part of the hot water tank can be increased quickly. If the water temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank is high, for example, if the temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 90 ° C), the hot water heated in the heat recovery path is returned from the intermediate inlet pipe to the hot water tank. Therefore, the high temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank is not lowered, which contributes to an increase in the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank. In this way, according to the water temperature in the hot water supply tank, it is possible to finely control whether the hot water heated in the heat recovery path is returned to the upper part of the hot water supply tank or returned to the intermediate part, so hot water with a high temperature can be secured. Is.
第 5発明では、 第 1発明または第 2発明の効果に加えて、 給湯タンク 内の上部、 中間部及び下部の水温を検出する水温検出部の検出に基づき、 制御弁を制御して熱回収路で加熱された温水の流れを、 上部入口管また は中間入口管のいずれかへ切り替え制御する。 このため、 給湯タンク内 の上部の水温が所定の温度、 例えば 5 0 °Cよりも低い場合は、 熱回収路 で加熱された温水を上部入口管から給湯タンク内へ戻して、 給湯タンク 内の上部の温度上昇を促進して、 速く給湯タンク内の上部の温度を上昇 させることに寄与できるものとなる。 また、 給湯タンク内の上部の水温 が高い場合は、 例えば所定の温度 (例えば 9 0 °C) 以上のときは、 熱回 収路で加熱された温水を中間入口管から給湯タンク内へ戻すようにして、 給湯タンク内の上部の高温が低下しないようにし、 給湯タンク内の下部 の水温上昇に寄与する。 更に、 給湯タンク内の下部の水温が所定温度 (例えば 5 5 °C) 以上に上昇している場合は、 熱回収路で加熱された温 水の給湯タンクへの供給停止とするように制御できるものである。 この ように、 給湯タンク内の上部の水温のみならず、 給湯タンク内の中間部 及び下部の水温に応じて、 熱回収路で加熱された温水を給湯タンクの上 部に戻すか中間部に戻すかの制御と、 熱回収路で加熱された温水の給湯 タンクへの供給停止制御を行えるため、 温度が高い湯を給湯タンク内に 溜めることができるものとなる。 また、 給湯タンクの下部の水温が所定 温度より高いときは、 この高い温度の湯が放熱器へ循環することによる 放熱器の放熱効果の低下を防止すると共に、 第 2放熱器要素によって放 熱器による冷媒の熱の放熱効果を促進して、 冷却加熱ユニットによる冷 却効果を良好な状態に維持できるものとなる。 In the fifth invention, in addition to the effects of the first invention or the second invention, the heat recovery path is controlled by controlling the control valve based on the detection of the water temperature detection unit for detecting the water temperature of the upper, middle and lower parts in the hot water tank. The flow of hot water heated in step 1 is switched to either the upper inlet pipe or the intermediate inlet pipe. For this reason, when the water temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank is lower than a predetermined temperature, for example, 50 ° C, the hot water heated in the heat recovery path is returned from the upper inlet pipe to the hot water tank. The temperature rise in the upper part of the inside can be promoted, and the temperature of the upper part in the hot water tank can be increased quickly. If the water temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank is high, for example, if the temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature (eg 90 ° C), the hot water heated in the heat collection path is returned from the intermediate inlet pipe to the hot water tank. Thus, the high temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank is not lowered, and the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank is increased. Furthermore, when the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank rises above a predetermined temperature (for example, 55 ° C), it can be controlled to stop supplying hot water heated in the heat recovery path to the hot water tank. Is. In this way, the hot water heated in the heat recovery path is returned to the upper part of the hot water supply tank or returned to the intermediate part depending on not only the upper water temperature in the hot water supply tank but also the intermediate and lower water temperatures in the hot water supply tank. And control of stopping the supply of hot water heated in the heat recovery path to the hot water supply tank, hot water having a high temperature can be stored in the hot water supply tank. When the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank is higher than the specified temperature, this high temperature hot water is circulated to the radiator to prevent the heat dissipation effect of the radiator from deteriorating, and the heat radiator The heat radiation effect of the refrigerant due to the heat is promoted, and the cooling effect by the cooling and heating unit can be maintained in a good state.
第 6発明では、 第 1乃至第 5発明の効果に加えて、 加熱装置が稼動状 態のときは熱回収路を水が循環しないようにするため、 加熱装置による 加熱を優先して、 給湯タンクの上部に温度の高い湯を速く貯蔵すること ができるようになる。  In the sixth invention, in addition to the effects of the first to fifth inventions, in order to prevent water from circulating through the heat recovery path when the heating device is in operation, priority is given to heating by the heating device, and the hot water tank It will be possible to quickly store hot water at the top of the hot spring.
第 7発明では、 第 4発明または第 5発明の効果に加えて、 水温検出部 の検出に基づき、 給湯タンクの下部の水温が所定温度より低い低温度状 態では、 熱回収路の開閉弁を開いて給湯タンクの下部の水温上昇を行な い、 所定温度状態になれば、 この開閉弁を閉じることにより、 給湯タン クの下部の水温を所定温度以上の状態に保つことができ、 給湯タンク内 の湯温維持に適したものとなる。 In the seventh invention, in addition to the effects of the fourth or fifth invention, on the basis of the detection by the water temperature detection unit, the open / close valve of the heat recovery path is opened in a low temperature state where the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank is lower than a predetermined temperature. Open and raise the water temperature at the bottom of the hot water tank. When the temperature reaches the specified temperature, close the on-off valve to close the hot water tank. The water temperature at the bottom of the tank can be kept above the predetermined temperature, making it suitable for maintaining the hot water temperature in the hot water tank.

第 9発明では、 第 1発明または第 2発明の効果に加えて、 給湯タンク から供給される水 (湯) の熱を第 3熱交換器が組み上げることによって、 暖房運転開始時から第 2熱交換器の温度を高い状態にすることができる ため、 暖房運転開始時の前記所定の室内の温度の立ち上がりを速めるこ とができる。 また、 給湯タンクから供給される水 (湯) の温度が、 この 上水道の温度よりも高い温度に加熱された状態であれば、 この温水が第 3熱交換器へ流れることとなり、 第 3熱交換器がこの熱を組み上げるこ とによって、 ヒートポンプ式冷却加熱ユニットの運転効率が、 より一層 向上するものとなる。 このため、 暖房運転開始時から第 2熱交換器の温 度を高い状態にすることができるため、 暖房運転開始時の前記所定の室 内の温度の立ち上がりを速めることができる。 また、 いつまでも第 3熱 交換器において給湯タンクから供給される水 (又は湯) と熱交換させれ ば、 給湯タンク 2内の湯温の低下を招くこととなるが、 給湯タンク 2か ら第 3熱交換器への水 (湯) の供給時間は制限されるため、 このような 懸念はない。  In the ninth invention, in addition to the effects of the first invention or the second invention, the third heat exchanger assembles the heat of the water (hot water) supplied from the hot water tank, so that the second heat exchange is started from the start of the heating operation. Since the temperature of the heater can be raised, the rise of the predetermined indoor temperature at the start of the heating operation can be accelerated. If the temperature of the water (hot water) supplied from the hot water tank is heated to a temperature higher than the temperature of the water supply, this hot water will flow to the third heat exchanger, and the third heat exchange As a result of the assembly of this heat, the operating efficiency of the heat pump type cooling / heating unit is further improved. For this reason, since the temperature of the second heat exchanger can be raised from the start of the heating operation, the temperature rise in the predetermined room at the start of the heating operation can be accelerated. In addition, if heat is exchanged with the water (or hot water) supplied from the hot water tank in the third heat exchanger indefinitely, the hot water temperature in the hot water tank 2 will be lowered.

The third heat exchanger assembles the heat of the Since the temperature of the second heat exchanger can be raised from the start of the cell operation, the temperature rise of the predetermined room at the start of the heating operation can be accelerated. And then, since it returns to the normal heating cycle, it will be in the state which can prevent the fall of the hot water temperature in a hot water supply tank.

本発明に係る熱回収路付き給湯装置 1は、 上記の他に、 空気調和機能 等を有する冷却加熱ュニッ卜 2 0を備えている。 冷却加熱ュニッ卜 2 0 は、 圧縮機 2 1で圧縮した冷媒の熱を放熱器 2 2 (第 1熱交換器とい う) で放熱し膨張弁 2 3を通って蒸発器 2 4 (第 2熱交換器という) で 蒸発させて再び圧縮機 2 1へ帰還する冷凍サイクルを構成している。 そ して、 放熱器 2 2には、 水 (又は湯) が通る熱回収路 2 2 Aと冷媒の通 る冷媒管 2 2 Bを備え、 放熱器 2 2を通る冷媒の熱を熱回収路 2 2 Aの 水が奪う作用部である。 給湯タンク 2の底部の低温水が入出水管 6 Aか ら出て、 流入配管 2 5 Aから熱回収路 2 2 Aへ流入し、 熱回収路 2 2 A で加熱された温水が流出配管 2 5 Bから給湯タンク 2の中間入口管 6 D へ戻るように、 ポンプ 2 6を備えた循環水路 2 5を構成している。 中間 入口管 6 Dは、 給湯タンク 2の上部入口管 6 Bと給湯タンク 2の底部と の間に位置する。  The hot water supply apparatus 1 with a heat recovery path according to the present invention includes a cooling and heating unit 20 having an air conditioning function and the like in addition to the above. The cooling and heating unit 20 radiates the heat of the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 21 with a radiator 2 2 (referred to as a first heat exchanger) and passes through an expansion valve 23 with an evaporator 2 4 (second heat). This is a refrigeration cycle that evaporates with a exchanger and returns to the compressor 21 again. The radiator 2 2 includes a heat recovery path 2 2 A through which water (or hot water) passes and a refrigerant pipe 2 2 B through which the refrigerant passes, and the heat of the refrigerant passing through the radiator 2 2 is transferred to the heat recovery path. 2 2 A The action part that water of A takes away. Low temperature water at the bottom of the hot water tank 2 exits from the inlet / outlet pipe 6A, flows into the heat recovery path 2 2A from the inflow pipe 2 5A, and warm water heated in the heat recovery path 2 2A flows out to the pipe 2 5 A circulating water channel 25 having a pump 26 is configured so as to return from B to the intermediate inlet pipe 6 D of the hot water tank 2. The intermediate inlet pipe 6 D is located between the upper inlet pipe 6 B of the hot water tank 2 and the bottom of the hot water tank 2.
放熱器 2 2に設けた熱回収路 2 2 Aの管と冷媒管 2 2 Bは、 内側管を 冷媒管 2 2 Bとし、 外側管を熱回収路 2 2 Aとする二重管構造でもよく、 または、 多数の伝熱フィンを熱回収路 2 2 Aの管と冷媒管 2 2 Bが並列 状態で貫通配置した熱交器構造であってもよく、 また、 プレート型やマ イク口チューブ型等の熱交器であってもよい。  The heat recovery path 2 2 A pipe and the refrigerant pipe 2 2 B provided in the radiator 2 2 may have a double pipe structure in which the inner pipe is the refrigerant pipe 2 2 B and the outer pipe is the heat recovery path 2 2 A. Alternatively, a heat exchanger structure in which a large number of heat transfer fins are arranged through the heat recovery path 2 2 A and the refrigerant pipe 2 2 B in parallel may be used, or a plate type or a microphone tube type A heat exchanger such as
加熱装置 3は、 上記のように二酸化炭素冷媒を用いた冷凍装置 1 5の 二酸化炭素冷媒ガスを冷却する冷媒ガス熱交換器で構成されるが、 冷却 加熱ユニット 2 0の冷媒は、 H F C等の凝縮性冷媒で構成される。 これ によって、 空気調和機能を有する冷却加熱ユニット 2 0は、 二酸化炭素 冷媒を用いた冷凍装置よりも安価な冷凍システムで間に合うこととなり、 冷房と暖房兼用の空気調和機でなく、 冷房専用の空気調和機であっても 差し支えない。 冷却加熱ユニット 2 0力 H F C等の凝縮性冷媒を使用 する冷凍装置で構成される場合には、 放熱器 2 2の熱回収路 2 2 Aで加 熱された温水の温度は、 略 5 5 °C程度である。 The heating device 3 is composed of a refrigerant gas heat exchanger that cools the carbon dioxide refrigerant gas of the refrigeration device 15 using the carbon dioxide refrigerant as described above, but the refrigerant of the cooling heating unit 20 is an HFC or the like. Consists of condensable refrigerant. As a result, the cooling and heating unit 20 having an air conditioning function can be used in a refrigeration system that is cheaper than a refrigeration system using carbon dioxide refrigerant, and is not an air conditioner for both cooling and heating. Even if the machine There is no problem. Cooling and heating unit 20 When configured with a refrigeration system that uses condensable refrigerant such as HFC, the temperature of the hot water heated in the heat recovery path 2 2 A of the radiator 2 2 is approximately 55 °. About C.
熱回収路 2 2 Aで加熱された温水が通る流出配管 2 5 B内の温水を上 部入口管 6 Bまたは中間入口管 6 Dのいずれかに供給するように制御す る制御弁 2 7を設けている。 給湯タンク 2には、 その中の水温を検知す るために、 上部、 中間部及び下部の水温を検出する複数の検出部 2 8 A 〜2 8 Eからなる水温検出部 2 8を設けている。 水温検出部 2 8の検出 に基づき、 制御弁 2 7を制御して流出配管 2 5 Bを通る温水の流れを上 部入口管 6 Bまたは中間入口管 6 Dのいずれかへ切り替え制御する制御 要素 3 O Aを備えたコントローラ 3 0を備えている。  Heat recovery path 2 2 Outflow pipe through which hot water heated in 2A passes 2 5 Control valve 2 7 is controlled to supply hot water in B to either upper inlet pipe 6 B or intermediate inlet pipe 6 D Provided. The hot water supply tank 2 is provided with a water temperature detection unit 28 comprising a plurality of detection units 28 A to 28 E for detecting the water temperature of the upper, middle and lower parts in order to detect the water temperature therein. . Control element that controls the control valve 2 7 based on the detection of the water temperature detector 2 8 to switch the flow of hot water passing through the outflow pipe 2 5 B to either the upper inlet pipe 6 B or the intermediate inlet pipe 6 D 3 It has a controller 30 with OA.
このため、 給湯タンク 2内の上部の水温が所定の温度、 例えば 5 0で よりも低い場合には、 所定の運転モード (夏場の高温の湯の追い焚きを 必要としないモード等) であれば、 熱回収路 2 2 Aで加熱された温水を 上部入口管 6 Bから給湯タンク 2内へ戻して、 給湯タンク 2内の上部の 温度上昇を促進して、 速く給湯タンク 2内の上部の温度を上昇させるこ とに寄与できるものとなる。 また、 給湯タンク 2内の上部の水温が高い 場合は、 例えば所定の温度 (例えば 7 0 °C) 以上のときは、 熱回収路 2 2 Aで加熱された温水を中間入口管 6 Dから給湯タンク 2内へ戻すよう にして、 給湯タンク 2内の上部の高温が低下しないようにし、 給湯タン ク 2内の下部の水温上昇に寄与する。  For this reason, if the water temperature in the upper part of the hot water supply tank 2 is lower than a predetermined temperature, for example, 50, if it is in a predetermined operation mode (such as a mode that does not require reheating of hot water in summer) Heat recovery path 2 2 Return the hot water heated in A to the hot water tank 2 from the upper inlet pipe 6 B, and promote the temperature rise in the upper part of the hot water tank 2 to quickly increase the temperature of the upper part of the hot water tank 2 It can contribute to raising If the water temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank 2 is high, for example, if the temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 70 ° C.), hot water heated in the heat recovery path 2 2 A is supplied from the intermediate inlet pipe 6 D. By returning to the inside of the tank 2, the high temperature in the upper part of the hot water tank 2 is not lowered, and the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank 2 is increased.
また、 水温検出部 2 8の検出に基づき、 循環水路 2 5を水が循環する 状態と、 循環しない状態とに制御する制御要素 3 0 Bをコントローラ 3 0に備えている。 循環水路 2 5を水が循環する状態と、 循環しない状態 とに制御するために、 循環水路 2 5を開閉する電磁式開閉弁 2 9を設け ている。 これによつて、 給湯タンク 2内の下部の水温が所定温度 (例え ば、 放熱器 2 2で加熱された温水の温度 5 5 °C) よりも低い場合は、 熱 回収路 2 2 Aで加熱された温水を中間入口管 6 Dから給湯タンク 2へ供 給するように、 制御弁 2 7を制御し、 開閉弁 2 9を開くと共に、 ポンプ 2 6を運転する制御を行う。 また、 給湯タンク 2内の下部の水温が所定 温度 (例えば、 放熱器 2 2で加熱された温水の温度 5 5 °C) 以上に上昇 している場合は、 熱回収路 2 2 Aで加熱された温水の給湯タンク 2への 供給停止とするように開閉弁 2 9を閉じると共に、 ポンプ 2 6を停止す る制御を行う。 これによつて、 給湯タンク 2内の下部の水温が所定温度 状態に高いときは、 無駄にポンプ 2 6を運転せず、 省エネ効果を図るこ とができる。 In addition, the controller 30 is provided with a control element 30 B that controls whether the water circulates in the circulating water channel 25 and does not circulate based on the detection of the water temperature detector 28. An electromagnetic on-off valve 29 that opens and closes the circulating water channel 25 is provided to control the circulating water channel 25 in a state where water circulates and a state in which it does not circulate. ing. As a result, if the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank 2 is lower than the predetermined temperature (for example, the temperature of the hot water heated by the radiator 22 2 is 55 ° C), it is heated by the heat recovery path 2 2 A. The control valve 27 is controlled so that the heated hot water is supplied from the intermediate inlet pipe 6 D to the hot water supply tank 2, the on-off valve 29 is opened, and the pump 26 is operated. If the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water supply tank 2 rises above a predetermined temperature (for example, the temperature of the hot water heated by the radiator 22 is 55 ° C), it is heated by the heat recovery path 22 A. The on-off valve 29 is closed and the pump 26 is stopped so that the supply of hot water to the hot water supply tank 2 is stopped. As a result, when the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water supply tank 2 is high to a predetermined temperature state, the pump 26 is not operated unnecessarily, and an energy saving effect can be achieved.
また、 制御要素 3 0 Bは、 冷却加熱ユニット 2 0の運転中 (圧縮機 2 1の運転中) において、 水温検出部 2 8の検出に基づき、 循環水路 2 5 を水が循環する状態と、 循環しない状態とに制御するように、 上記同様 に、 制御弁 2 7の制御と開閉弁 2 9の開閉とポンプ 2 6の運転、 停止を 制御する。  In addition, the control element 30 B has a state in which water circulates in the circulation channel 25 based on the detection of the water temperature detection unit 28 during the operation of the cooling / heating unit 20 (during operation of the compressor 21). In the same manner as described above, the control of the control valve 27, the opening and closing of the on-off valve 29, and the operation and stop of the pump 26 are controlled so as to control the non-circulating state.
また、 上記のように、 給湯タンク 2内の下部の水温が所定温度 (例え ば、 放熱器 2 2で加熱された温水の温度 5 5 ) 以上に上昇している場 合には、 循環水路 2 5を水が循環しない状態に制御するため、 冷却加熱 ュニット 2 0の放熱器 2 2に温度の高い水が流れることによって生じる 放熱器 2 2の放熱効果の低下を防止でき、 冷却加熱ュニット 2 0の運転 効率の低下を抑制できるものとなる。  In addition, as described above, when the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank 2 rises above a predetermined temperature (for example, the temperature of hot water heated by the radiator 22), the circulation channel 2 Since 5 is controlled so that water does not circulate, it is possible to prevent the heat dissipation effect of radiator 2 2 from being reduced by the flow of high-temperature water to radiator 2 2 of cooling heating unit 20. Cooling heating unit 2 0 It is possible to suppress a decrease in the operation efficiency.
このように、 給湯タンク 2内の上部の水温のみならず、 給湯タンク 2 内の中間部及び下部の水温に応じて、 熱回収路 2 2 Aで加熱された温水 を給湯タンク 2の上部に戻すか中間部に戻すかの制御と、 熱回収路 2 2 Aで加熱された温水の給湯タンク 2への供給停止制御を行えるため、 温 度が高い湯を給湯タンク 2内に溜めることができるものとなる。 In this way, the hot water heated in the heat recovery path 2 2 A is returned to the upper part of the hot water tank 2 in accordance with not only the upper water temperature in the hot water tank 2 but also the intermediate and lower water temperatures in the hot water tank 2. Or return to the middle part and heat recovery path 2 2 Since the supply stop control to the hot water supply tank 2 heated by A can be performed, hot water having a high temperature can be stored in the hot water supply tank 2.
給湯タンク 2は、 例えば 4 6 0リツトルの湯が貯蔵できる容量とした 場合、 水温検出部 2 8で検出する 8 0 °Cの湯が 1 0 0リツトルに減少し たことがコントローラ 3 0によって判別されれば、 加熱装置 3を構成す る冷凍装置 1 5の圧縮機 1 3が稼動する構成である。 通常、 加熱装置 3 の冷凍装置 1 5は、 深夜電力で圧縮機 1 3が稼動するようにしているが、 コントローラ 3 0は学習機能を備えているため、 コントローラ 3 0が日 常の湯の使用状況を把握して、 給湯タンク 2内の上部に溜める湯温は 何でが適切かを自動設定して、 冷凍装置 1 5の圧縮機 1 3の稼動を制御 している。  For example, if the hot water tank 2 has a capacity capable of storing 46 60 liters of hot water, the controller 30 determines that the 80 ° C hot water detected by the water temperature detector 28 has decreased to 100 liters. If so, the compressor 13 of the refrigeration apparatus 15 constituting the heating apparatus 3 operates. Normally, the refrigeration unit 1 5 of the heating unit 3 is operated by the compressor 1 3 at midnight power, but the controller 3 0 has a learning function, so the controller 3 0 uses daily hot water. By grasping the situation, the hot water temperature stored in the upper part of the hot water tank 2 is automatically set to determine what is appropriate, and the operation of the compressor 1 3 of the refrigeration unit 15 is controlled.
また、 コントローラ 3 0には、 加熱装置 3が稼動状態のとき (圧縮機 1 3が運転状態の冷凍装置 1 5 ) は、 熱回収路 2 2 Aを水が循環しない ように開閉弁 2 9を閉じ、 ポンプ 2 6を停止すると共に、 制御弁 2 7を 制御する制御要素 3 0 Cを設け、 加熱装置 3による加熱を優先して、 給 湯タンク 2の上部に温度の高い湯を速く貯蔵することができるようにな つている。  When the heating device 3 is in operation (the refrigeration device 15 with the compressor 13 in operation), the controller 30 is provided with an on-off valve 29 so that water does not circulate through the heat recovery path 2 2 A. Close and stop pump 2 6 and provide control element 30 0 C to control control valve 2 7 and preferentially heat by heating device 3 to store hot hot water in the upper part of hot water tank 2 quickly I am able to do that.
また、 本発明では、 上記の構成に付加する構成として、 熱回収路 2 2 Aに並列に、 流入配管 2 5 Aと流出配管 2 5 Bに接続された第 2放熱器 要素としての副熱交換器 3 1を設けている。 そして、 副熱交換器 3 1へ の水の循環を制御するために、 電磁式開閉弁 3 2を設けている。 この場 合、 副熱交換器 3 1には、 熱交換促進用としてファン 3 1 Aが設けられ ている。 給湯タンク 2の下部の水温が所定温度 (例えば、 放熱器 2 2で 加熱された温水の温度 5 5 °C) より低い低温度状態では、 ファン 3 1 A は O F F状態であり、 開閉弁 3 2を閉じて副熱交換器 3 1への水の循環 を止めている。 また、 給湯タンク 2の下部の水温が所定温度 (例えば、 放熱器 2 2で加熱された温水の温度 5 5 °C) 以上に高いときは、 開閉弁 2 9を閉じると共に開閉弁 3 2を開き、 ポンプ 2 6を運転状態とし、 フ アン 3 1 Aを O N状態とする。 Further, in the present invention, as a configuration added to the above configuration, the auxiliary heat exchange as the second radiator element connected to the inflow pipe 25A and the outflow pipe 25B in parallel with the heat recovery path 22A. 3 1 is provided. In order to control the circulation of water to the auxiliary heat exchanger 31, an electromagnetic on-off valve 32 is provided. In this case, the auxiliary heat exchanger 31 is provided with a fan 31 A for promoting heat exchange. In the low temperature state where the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank 2 is lower than a predetermined temperature (for example, the temperature of hot water heated by the radiator 2 2 55 ° C), the fan 3 1 A is in the OFF state, and the on-off valve 3 2 Close the secondary heat exchanger 3 1 to circulate the water Has stopped. When the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank 2 is higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, the temperature of hot water heated by the radiator 2 2 is 55 ° C), the on-off valve 2 9 is closed and the on-off valve 3 2 is opened. Pump 2 6 is in operation and fan 3 1 A is in ON state.
これによつて、 給湯タンク 2の下部の水温が所定温度より低い低温度 状態では、 開閉弁 3 2を閉じることによって、 放熱器 2 2における放熱 効果に寄与すると共に熱回収路 2 2 A内の水が加熱され、 給湯タンク 2 の下部の水温上昇を行なうことができる。 また、 給湯タンク 2の下部の 水温が所定温度より高いときは、 この高い温度の湯が放熱器 2 2へ循環 すれば、 冷却加熱ュニット 2 0の放熱器 2 2の放熱効果の低下が生じる が、 開閉弁 2 9を閉じることにより、 それを防止している。 また、 水の 閉回路によって放熱器 2 2と副熱交換器 3 1を水が循環するため、 放熱 器 2 2による冷媒の熱の放熱効果を促進して、 冷却加熱ュニット 2 0に よる冷却効果を良好な状態に維持できるものとなる。  As a result, in the low temperature state where the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water supply tank 2 is lower than the predetermined temperature, closing the on-off valve 3 2 contributes to the heat dissipation effect in the radiator 2 2 and at the same time in the heat recovery path 2 2 A. The water is heated and the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank 2 can be raised. In addition, when the water temperature in the lower part of the hot water tank 2 is higher than the predetermined temperature, if this hot water circulates to the radiator 22, the heat dissipation effect of the radiator 22 of the cooling / heating unit 20 may be reduced. This is prevented by closing the on-off valve 29. Also, since water circulates in the radiator 2 2 and the auxiliary heat exchanger 3 1 due to the closed circuit of water, the heat radiation effect of the refrigerant heat by the radiator 2 2 is promoted, and the cooling effect by the cooling / heating unit 20 Can be maintained in a good state.
上記において、 圧縮機 1 3を出た冷媒の温度、 又は加熱装置 3を構成 する冷媒ガス熱交換器 3を出た冷媒の温度を温度センサ 1 8で検出し、 コントローラ 3 0によって、 冷凍装置 1 5の運転制御を行う。 この運転 制御は、 温度センサ 1 8力検出する温度が所定の温度となるように、 コ ントローラ 3 0によって、 圧縮機 1 3の回転数をインバー夕制御する。 また、 循環ポンプ 7の吐出量は、 給湯タンク 2に供給される湯温が設定 値 (9 2 °C、 8 2 ^等) になるように制御される。 このように、 冷凍装 置 1 5の運転によって、 給湯タンク 2内に高温水 (湯) を貯蔵できるこ ととなる。  In the above, the temperature of the refrigerant exiting the compressor 13 or the temperature of the refrigerant exiting the refrigerant gas heat exchanger 3 constituting the heating device 3 is detected by the temperature sensor 18, and the refrigeration device 1 is detected by the controller 30. Perform 5 operation control. In this operation control, the rotational speed of the compressor 13 is inversely controlled by the controller 30 so that the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 18 becomes a predetermined temperature. The discharge amount of the circulation pump 7 is controlled so that the hot water temperature supplied to the hot water supply tank 2 becomes a set value (92 ° C, 82 ^, etc.). As described above, the operation of the refrigeration apparatus 15 can store the hot water (hot water) in the hot water supply tank 2.

That is, cooling by cooling evaporator 20 20 The supplied air is supplied to a predetermined room in the house, or brine (water, a specific liquid) is circulated to the heat exchange unit 35 and the air cooled in the heat exchange unit 35 is supplied to the predetermined room in the house. This predetermined room is cooled by supplying to In this case, a temperature detection sensor that substantially detects the temperature of the predetermined room (the temperature of the predetermined room, the temperature of the evaporator 24 so as to detect the temperature of the predetermined room to be substantially cooled, Or a temperature detection sensor for detecting the temperature of the heat exchanging portion 35, etc.) is provided, and the operation of the compressor 21 of the cooling / heating unit 20 is controlled by the controller 33.

Low temperature water at the bottom of the hot water tank 2 exits from the inlet / outlet pipe 6 A, flows into the inlet pipe 2 5 A from the inlet pipe 2 2 OA, and water cooled by the OA pipe 2 2 OA flows out from the outlet pipe 2 5 B A circulation channel 25 with a pump 26 is configured to return to the intermediate inlet pipe 6 D of the tank 2.
水路管 2 2 O Aと冷媒管 2 2 0 Bは、 内側管を冷媒管 2 2 0 Bとし、 外側管を水路管 2 2 O Aとする二重管構造でもよく、 または、 多数の伝 熱フィンを水路管 2 2 O Aと冷媒管 2 2 0 Bが並列状態で貫通配置した 熱交器構造であってもよい。 第 1熱交換器 2 2 0 (図 1の放熱器 2 2に 相当) における給湯タンク 2からの水 (又は湯) との熱交換は、 実施例 1で説明したことと同様である。 The water pipe 2 2 OA and the refrigerant pipe 2 2 0 B may have a double pipe structure in which the inner pipe is the refrigerant pipe 2 2 0 B and the outer pipe is the water pipe 2 2 OA, or a large number of heat transfer fins are used. A heat exchanger structure in which the water pipe 2 2 OA and the refrigerant pipe 2 2 0 B are arranged in parallel may be used. Heat exchange with the water (or hot water) from the hot water tank 2 in the first heat exchanger 2 2 0 (corresponding to the radiator 2 2 in Fig. 1) This is the same as described in 1.
先ず、 ヒートポンプ式冷却加熱ユニット 2 0によって、 前記所定の室 内を冷房運転する場合について説明する。 圧縮機 2 1で圧縮した冷媒が 四方弁 4 0を通り、 開いている電磁式開閉弁 4 3を通って熱交換器 4 4 でファン 4 2の運転によって放熱し、 膨張装置としての膨張弁 2 3を通 つて熱交換器 2 4 0 (図 1の蒸発器 2 4に相当) で蒸発して、 再び四方 弁 4 0を通って圧縮機 2 1へ帰還する冷凍サイクルを構成する。  First, a description will be given of a case where the predetermined room is cooled by the heat pump cooling / heating unit 20. The refrigerant compressed by the compressor 2 1 passes through the four-way valve 4 0, passes through the open electromagnetic on-off valve 4 3, dissipates heat by the operation of the fan 4 2 in the heat exchanger 4 4, and the expansion valve 2 as an expansion device 2 A refrigeration cycle that evaporates through the heat exchanger 2 40 through 3 (equivalent to the evaporator 2 4 in Fig. 1) and returns to the compressor 21 through the four-way valve 40 again is formed.
この冷房運転において、 電磁式開閉弁 4 1が開いておれば、 冷媒が第 3熱交換器 2 2 0の冷媒管 2 2 0 Bを流れて、 実施例 1の放熱器 2 2と 同様に、 給湯タンク 2の底部の低温水が入出水管 6 Aから出て、 流入配 管 2 5 Aから水路管 2 2 O Aへ流入し、 水路管 2 2 O Aで冷却された水 が流出配管 2 5 Bから給湯タンク 2の中間入口管 6 Dへ戻るように、 ポ ンプ 2 6が作動する。 この場合、 第 3熱交換器 2 2 0の機能は、 実施例 1の放熱器 2 2と同様であるため、 実施例 1で記載した事項を援用する ものとする。  In this cooling operation, if the electromagnetic on-off valve 4 1 is open, the refrigerant flows through the refrigerant pipe 2 2 0 B of the third heat exchanger 2 2 0 and, similarly to the radiator 2 2 of the first embodiment, Low temperature water at the bottom of hot water tank 2 exits from the inlet / outlet pipe 6 A, flows into the inlet pipe 2 5 A from the inlet pipe 2 2 OA, and the water cooled by the OA pipe 2 2 OA from the outlet pipe 2 5 B Pump 2 6 operates to return to intermediate inlet pipe 6 D of hot water tank 2. In this case, since the function of the third heat exchanger 2 20 is the same as that of the radiator 2 2 of the first embodiment, the matters described in the first embodiment are used.
給湯タンク 2の水の加熱を向上させるためには、 冷房運転においては、 電磁式開閉弁 4 3を閉じて、 空冷式熱交換器 4 4への冷媒の流れを阻止 し、 四方弁 4 0を出た冷媒が全て第 3熱交換器 2 2 0の冷媒管 2 2 0 B を流れるようにすることができる。  In order to improve the heating of the water in the hot water tank 2, in the cooling operation, the electromagnetic on-off valve 4 3 is closed to prevent the flow of refrigerant to the air-cooled heat exchanger 4 4 and the four-way valve 4 0 All of the refrigerant that has exited can flow through the refrigerant pipe 2 2 0 B of the third heat exchanger 2 2 0.
熱交換器 2 4 0でブライン (水、 特定な液体) を冷却し、 この冷却し たブライン (水、 特定な液体) をポンプ 3 4の運転によって、 所定の室 内の天井部に設置した熱交換部 3 5や、 所定の室内の床下面部に設置し た熱交換部 3 5へ供給し、 冷温水槽 3 6から再び第 2熱交換器である熱 交換器 2 4 0へ帰還するサイクルで循環させる方式である。 熱交換部 3 5が所定の室内の天井部に設置した熱交換部 3 5である場合は、 ファン によって熱交換部 3 5に所定の室内の空気が循環して、 熱交換部 3 5に よって所定の室内の空気が冷却されるものである。 The brine (water, specific liquid) is cooled by the heat exchanger 2 40, and the cooled brine (water, specific liquid) is cooled by the operation of the pump 3 4 and installed in the ceiling of the specified room. Supplied to the heat exchanger 35 and the heat exchanger 35 installed on the lower surface of the floor in a given room, and circulated in a cycle returning from the cold / hot water tank 36 to the heat exchanger 2 40 as the second heat exchanger again It is a method to make it. If the heat exchanger 3 5 is a heat exchanger 3 5 installed on the ceiling in a given room, As a result, the air in the predetermined room circulates in the heat exchanging section 35, and the air in the predetermined room is cooled by the heat exchanging section 35.
次に、 ヒー卜ポンプ式冷却加熱ユニット 2 0によって、 前記所定の室 内を暖房運転する場合について説明する。 暖房運転では、 電磁式開閉弁 4 3が開き、 四方弁 4 0が切り替わって、 圧縮機 2 1で圧縮した冷媒が 四方弁 4 0を通って第 2熱交換器 2 4 0で凝縮し放熱し、 膨張弁 2 3を 通って熱交換器 4 4へ入り蒸発する。 ファン 4 2の運転によって熱交換 器 4 4の熱交換が促進され、 熱交換器 4 4を出た冷媒は、 電磁式開閉弁 4 3と四方弁 4 0を通って圧縮機 2 1へ帰還する冷凍サイクルを構成す る。 また、 後述のように、 暖房運転開始初期のみ電磁式開閉弁 4 1が開 いて、 熱交換器 4 4と熱交換器 2 2 0にも冷媒が流れるが、 その後は電 磁式開閉弁 4 1が閉じて、 熱交換器 2 2 0への冷媒の流れを遮断する。  Next, the case where the predetermined room is heated by the heat pump cooling / heating unit 20 will be described. In heating operation, the electromagnetic on-off valve 4 3 opens, the four-way valve 40 switches, and the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 21 passes through the four-way valve 40 and condenses in the second heat exchanger 24 0 to dissipate heat. Evaporates through the expansion valve 2 3 and enters the heat exchanger 4 4. The heat exchange of the heat exchanger 4 4 is promoted by the operation of the fan 4 2, and the refrigerant leaving the heat exchanger 4 4 returns to the compressor 2 1 through the electromagnetic on-off valve 4 3 and the four-way valve 4 0. Configure the refrigeration cycle. In addition, as described later, the electromagnetic on-off valve 41 opens only at the beginning of the heating operation, and the refrigerant also flows through the heat exchanger 44 and the heat exchanger 220, but thereafter, the electromagnetic on-off valve 4 1 Closes and blocks the flow of refrigerant to the heat exchanger 2 20.
ヒートポンプ式冷却加熱ュニット 2 0の暖房運転において、 電磁式開 閉弁 4 3は開いており、 膨張弁 2 3を通った冷媒は熱交換器 4 4に流れ、 熱交換器 4 4においてファン 4 2の運転によって周囲空気から吸熱する。 前記所定の室内を暖房運転する場合は、 通常、 冬季等の低外気状況であ る力^ 外気温が低くなればなるほど、 熱交換器 4 4がこの低外気 (周囲 空気) と熱交換してこの外気 (周囲空気) から熱を汲み上げるヒートポ ンプ効果は低下する。 しかし、 膨張弁 2 3を通った冷媒は第 3熱交換器 2 2 0にも流れるようにすれば、 水路管 2 2 O Aを通る温水から冷媒管 2 2 0 Bを通る冷媒が熱を汲み上げることにより、 膨張弁 2 3を通った 冷媒が熱を汲み上げる効果が向上する。 即ち、 膨張弁 2 3を通った冷媒 の熱交換部からの熱の汲み上げ効果が向上することとなり、 ヒートボン プ式冷却加熱ュニッ卜 2 0の運転効率が向上して、 第 2熱交換器 2 4 0 の温度を速く高い状態にすることができる。 このように、 ヒートポンプ式冷却加熱ュニット 2 0の暖房運転によつ て生じる第 2熱交換器 2 4 0の加熱に基づき、 第 2熱交換器 2 4 0でブ ライン (水、 特定な液体) を加熱し、 この加熱したブライン (水、 特定 な液体) をポンプ 3 4の運転によって、 所定の室内の天井部に設置した 熱交換部 3 5や、 所定の室内の床下面部に設置した熱交換部 3 5へ供給 し、 冷水 ·温水槽 3 6から再び第 2熱交換器 2 4 0へ帰還するサイクル で循環させる方式である。 熱交換部 3 5が所定の室内の天井部に設置し た熱交換部 3 5である場合は、 ファンによって熱交換部 3 5に所定の室 内の空気が循環して、 熱交換部 3 5によって所定の室内の空気を暖める ことができるものである。 In the heating operation of the heat pump cooling / heating unit 2 0, the electromagnetic open / close valve 4 3 is open, the refrigerant that has passed through the expansion valve 2 3 flows to the heat exchanger 4 4, and the fan 4 2 in the heat exchanger 4 4 It absorbs heat from the surrounding air by driving. When heating the predetermined room, normally, the power of low outside air conditions such as winter season ^ The lower the outside air temperature, the more the heat exchanger 4 4 exchanges heat with this low outside air (ambient air). The heat pump effect that pumps heat from the outside air (ambient air) is reduced. However, if the refrigerant passing through the expansion valve 2 3 also flows to the third heat exchanger 2 2 0, the refrigerant passing through the refrigerant pipe 2 2 0 B will pump up heat from the hot water passing through the water pipe 2 2 OA. This improves the effect of the refrigerant that has passed through the expansion valve 2 3 pumping up heat. That is, the effect of pumping the heat from the heat exchange section of the refrigerant that has passed through the expansion valve 23 is improved, and the operation efficiency of the heat pump cooling / heating unit 20 is improved, so that the second heat exchanger 2 4 The temperature of 0 can be quickly brought to a high state. In this way, based on the heating of the second heat exchanger 24 0 generated by the heating operation of the heat pump type cooling heating unit 20, the second heat exchanger 2 40 0 is blown (water, specific liquid). The heated brine (water, specific liquid) is heated by the operation of the pump 3 4 and the heat exchange unit 3 5 installed on the ceiling part of the predetermined room or the heat exchange unit installed on the lower surface of the floor of the predetermined room. This is a system in which it is circulated in a cycle in which it is supplied to section 35 and returned from the cold water / hot water tank 36 to the second heat exchanger 240. If the heat exchange unit 35 is a heat exchange unit 35 installed on the ceiling of a predetermined room, the air in the predetermined room is circulated to the heat exchange unit 35 by the fan, and the heat exchange unit 3 5 Can heat the air in a given room.
本発明では、 ヒートポンプ式冷却加熱ュニット 2 0の暖房運転を開始 する場合、 暖房運転開始から所定時間、 例えば 2分〜 5分程度の間、 電 磁式開閉弁 4 1を開いて膨張弁 2 3を通った冷媒が、 第 1熱交換器 4 4 と第 3熱交換器 2 2 0の両方に流れるようにする。 また、 このとき、 電 磁式開閉弁 2 9を開きポンプ 2 6を運転して、 第 3熱交換器 2 2 0に給 湯タンク 2の水 (又は湯) が流れる状態とする。 前記所定時間到達又は 経過後は、 電磁式開閉弁 4 1を閉じ、 第 1熱交換器 4 4のみに冷媒が流 れる通常のヒートポンプ暖房運転サイクルに切り替え、 電磁式開閉弁 2 9を閉じ、 ポンプ 2 6の運転を停止する。  In the present invention, when the heating operation of the heat pump type cooling / heating unit 20 is started, the expansion valve 2 3 is opened by opening the electromagnetic on-off valve 41 for a predetermined time, for example, about 2 minutes to 5 minutes from the start of the heating operation. The refrigerant that has passed through is allowed to flow to both the first heat exchanger 4 4 and the third heat exchanger 2 20. At this time, the electromagnetic on-off valve 29 is opened and the pump 26 is operated so that the water (or hot water) in the hot water tank 2 flows into the third heat exchanger 2 20. After reaching or elapses of the predetermined time, the electromagnetic on-off valve 41 is closed, switching to a normal heat pump heating operation cycle in which refrigerant flows only in the first heat exchanger 44, the electromagnetic on-off valve 29 is closed, and the pump 2 6 Stop operation.
冬季等の低外気状況においても、 上水道 4の温度は、 0 °Cよりも十分 高い温度、 例えば 1 5 °C程度の温度を保っているため、 外気が数。 C以下 の低温状況において、 給湯タンク 2から供給される水の温度がこの上水 道 4の温度であっても、 第 3熱交換器 2 2 0がこの熱を組み上げること によって、 ヒートポンプ式冷却加熱ュニット 2 0の運転効率が向上する こととなる。 まして、 給湯タンク 2から供給される水の温度が、 この上 水道 4の温度よりも高い温度に加熱された状態であれば、 この温水が第 3熱交換器 2 2 0へ流れることとなり、 第 3熱交換器 2 2 0がこの熱を 組み上げることによって、 ヒートポンプ式冷却加熱ュニット 2 0の運転 効率が、 より一層向上するものとなる。 このため、 暖房運転開始時から 第 2熱交換器 2 4 0の温度を速く高い状態にすることができるため、 暖 房運転開始時の前記所定の室内の温度の立ち上がりを速めることができ る。 Even in low outdoor conditions such as winter, the temperature of water supply 4 is sufficiently higher than 0 ° C, for example, about 15 ° C, so there are several outside air. Even if the temperature of the water supplied from the hot water tank 2 is the temperature of the upper water channel 4 in a low temperature condition of C or less, the third heat exchanger 2 20 0 builds up this heat, so that the heat pump cooling heating The operating efficiency of the unit 20 will be improved. Furthermore, the temperature of the water supplied from the hot water tank 2 If the water is heated to a temperature higher than the temperature of the water supply 4, this hot water will flow to the third heat exchanger 2 20 and the third heat exchanger 2 2 0 will build up this heat, so that the heat pump The operating efficiency of the cooling and heating unit 20 will be further improved. For this reason, since the temperature of the second heat exchanger 240 can be quickly increased from the start of the heating operation, the rise of the predetermined indoor temperature at the start of the heating operation can be accelerated.
なお、 上記のように、 第 3熱交換器 2 2 0に冷媒が流れる時間を、 暖 房運転開始から所定時間、 例えば 5分〜 1 0分程度に制限するのは、 い つまでも第 3熱交換器 2 2 0において給湯タンク 2から供給される水 (又は湯) と熱交換させれば、 給湯タンク 2内の湯温の低下を招くこと となるので、 これを制限するためである。 この暖房運転開始からの所定 時間は、 例えば 2分〜 5分程度の予め設定した一定時間にタイマ手段に よって規制してもよいが、 暖房される所定の室内の温度が所定温度に上 昇したとき (実質的に暖房される所定の室内の温度が所定温度に上昇し たことを検出するように、 この所定の室内の温度の温度検知センサを設 けるか、 熱交換部 3 5の温度検知センサを設けるか、 第 2熱交換器 2 4 0の温度を検出する温度検知センサを設ける等の手段がある) 、 コント ローラ 3 3によって電磁式開閉弁 2 9及び 4 1を閉じ、 ポンプ 2 6を停 止するように制御することもできる。  As described above, the time for which the refrigerant flows into the third heat exchanger 2 20 is limited to a predetermined time from the start of the heating operation, for example, about 5 minutes to 10 minutes. This is to limit the heat exchange with the water (or hot water) supplied from the hot water supply tank 2 in the exchanger 2 20, which causes a drop in the hot water temperature in the hot water supply tank 2. The predetermined time from the start of the heating operation may be regulated by a timer means for a predetermined time period of, for example, about 2 to 5 minutes, but the temperature of the predetermined room to be heated has risen to the predetermined temperature. (Temperature detection sensor for this predetermined room temperature is installed so as to detect that the temperature of the predetermined room to be heated substantially has risen to the predetermined temperature, or the temperature detection of the heat exchange unit 35 is performed. There is a means of providing a sensor or a temperature detection sensor for detecting the temperature of the second heat exchanger 2 40, etc.), and the electromagnetic on-off valves 2 9 and 4 1 are closed by the controller 3 3, and the pump 2 6 It can also be controlled to stop.
上記では、 暖房運転開始から所定時間、 熱交換器 4 4と熱交換器 2 2 0の両方に冷媒が流れるが、 これに替わって、 暖房運転開始から所定時 間、 熱交換器 4 4には冷媒が流れないように電磁式開閉弁 4 3を閉じ、 第 3熱交換器 2 2 0のみに冷媒が流れるように電磁式開閉弁 4 1を開く ように構成し、 その後、 その後、 開閉弁 4 3を開くと共に、 開閉弁 4 1 を閉じることによって、 第 1熱交換器 4 4のみに冷媒が流れる通常のヒ ートポンプ暖房運転サイクルに切り替え、 電磁式開閉弁 2 9を閉じ、 ポ ンプ 2 6の運転を停止する。 このため、 給湯タンク 2内の湯温の低下を 防止できる状態となる。 いずれの場合も、 暖房運転開始時から第 2熱交 換器 2 4 0の温度を速く高い状態に速くすることができるため、 暖房運 転開始時の前記所定の室内の温度の立ち上がりを速めることができる。 また、 熱交換器 2 2 0とポンプ 2 6の直列配管水路に並列に、 電磁式 開閉弁 4 5を備えた配管水路を形成した構成とする。 そして、 暖房運転 開始時に水温検出部 2 8の下部の検出部 2 8 Dと 2 8 E、 又は 2 8 Eの 検出温度が所定温度よりも低い場合 (例えば、 外気温度に近い場合) 、 または、 検出部 2 8 Aと 2 8 B、 又は 2 8 Aの検出温度が所定温度より も低い場合 (例えば、 5 0 °Cよりも低い場合) には、 電磁式開閉弁 2 9 を閉じ、 電磁式開閉弁 4 5を開いた状態でポンプ 2 6を運転して、 ボン プ 2 6から出て、 熱交換器 2 2 0の水路管 2 2 O Aと電磁式開閉弁 4 5 を通りポンプ 2 6に帰還する水のサイクル路を形成する。 In the above, the refrigerant flows through both the heat exchanger 4 4 and the heat exchanger 2 2 0 for a predetermined time from the start of the heating operation. Instead, the heat exchanger 4 4 has a predetermined time after the start of the heating operation. The electromagnetic on-off valve 4 3 is closed so that the refrigerant does not flow, and the electromagnetic on-off valve 4 1 is opened so that the refrigerant flows only to the third heat exchanger 2 20, and then the on-off valve 4 Open 3 and open / close valve 4 1 Is closed to switch to a normal heat pump heating operation cycle in which refrigerant flows only in the first heat exchanger 44, the electromagnetic on-off valve 29 is closed, and the operation of the pump 26 is stopped. For this reason, it becomes a state which can prevent the fall of the hot water temperature in the hot water supply tank 2. In either case, since the temperature of the second heat exchanger 240 can be quickly increased to a high state from the start of heating operation, the rise of the predetermined indoor temperature at the start of heating operation can be accelerated. Can do. In addition, a pipe water passage provided with an electromagnetic on-off valve 45 is formed in parallel with the serial pipe water passage of the heat exchanger 2 20 and the pump 26. And, at the start of heating operation, when the detection temperature of the detection units 2 8 D and 2 8 E below the water temperature detection unit 2 8 is lower than a predetermined temperature (for example, close to the outside air temperature), or When the detection temperature of detectors 2 8 A and 2 8 B or 2 8 A is lower than the specified temperature (for example, lower than 50 ° C), close solenoid valve 2 9, Operate pump 2 6 with open / close valve 4 5 open, exit pump 2 6, pass through heat exchanger 2 2 0 water channel 2 2 OA and electromagnetic open / close valve 4 5 to pump 2 6 Form a cycle path for returning water.
これによつて、 給湯タンク 2の底部の水温が低い場合は、 この低温水 が熱交換器 2 2 0の水路管 2 2 O Aに流れないようにして、 熱交換器 2 2 0の熱交換の低下を抑制する。 また、 給湯タンク 2の上部の水温が低 い場合は、 給湯タンク 2の上部の水温上昇が損なわれないように、 給湯 タンク 2の水 (又は湯) が熱交換器 2 2 0の水路管 2 2 O Aに流れない ようにして、 給湯タンク 2の上部の水温が加熱装置 3によって速く上昇 するようにする。  As a result, when the water temperature at the bottom of the hot water tank 2 is low, this low-temperature water should not flow into the water pipe 2 2 OA of the heat exchanger 2 2 0 and the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 2 2 0 Suppresses the decline. Also, if the water temperature at the top of the hot water tank 2 is low, the water (or hot water) in the hot water tank 2 is used as the heat exchanger 2 2 0 water pipe 2 so that the rise in the water temperature at the top of the hot water tank 2 is not impaired. 2 Prevent the water from flowing into the OA so that the water temperature at the top of the hot water tank 2 rises quickly with the heating device 3.
実施例 2のヒートポンプ式冷却加熱ユニット 2 0は、 圧縮機 2 1、 四 方弁 4 0、 熱交換器 2 4 0、 膨張弁 2 3、 空冷式熱交換器 4 4、 ファン 4 2を既存のヒートポンプ式冷凍システムとし、 これに電磁式開閉弁 4 1、 電磁式開閉弁 4 3、 熱交換器 2 2 0 (図 1の放熱器 2 2に相当) を 付加する構成とすることによって、 既存のヒートポンプ式冷凍システム の利用ができるものとなり、 システムの構築費用を低く抑えることがで きるようになる。 産業上の利用可能性 The heat pump type cooling / heating unit 20 of Example 2 includes a compressor 2 1, a four-way valve 4 0, a heat exchanger 2 40, an expansion valve 2 3, an air-cooled heat exchanger 4 4, and a fan 4 2. This is a heat pump refrigeration system. 1. By adding a solenoid on / off valve 4 3 and a heat exchanger 2 2 0 (corresponding to the radiator 2 2 in Fig. 1), the existing heat pump refrigeration system can be used. Construction costs can be kept low. Industrial applicability
