The component devices 11 to 14 of the heat pump cycle 10 (component devices in the range surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 1) are accommodated in one housing or one frame structure, and the heat pump unit As a single unit.
次に、貯湯タンク20について説明する。貯湯タンク20は、耐食性に優れた金属(例えば、ステンレス)で形成される温水タンクである。貯湯タンク20は、外周を断熱材で覆われた断熱構造あるいは二重タンクによる真空断熱構造等を有し、高温の給湯水を長時間保温することができる。また、この貯湯タンク20も室外に配置されている。
Next, the hot water storage tank 20 will be described. The hot water storage tank 20 is a hot water tank formed of a metal (for example, stainless steel) having excellent corrosion resistance. The hot water storage tank 20 has a heat insulating structure whose outer periphery is covered with a heat insulating material, a vacuum heat insulating structure using a double tank, or the like, and can retain hot hot water for a long time. The hot water storage tank 20 is also arranged outside the room.
貯湯タンク20に貯留された給湯水は、貯湯タンク20の上部に設けられた出湯口から出湯され、図示しない温調弁において水道からの冷水と混合されて温度調節された後、室内(具体的には調理場や風呂等)に給湯される。また、貯湯タンク20の下部に設けられた給水口からは水道水が給水されて、給湯された分の給湯水が補充される。
Hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 20 is discharged from a hot water outlet provided in the upper part of the hot water storage tank 20, mixed with cold water from a water tap at a temperature control valve (not shown), and then adjusted in temperature (specifically Hot water is supplied to kitchens and baths. Further, tap water is supplied from a water supply port provided in the lower part of the hot water storage tank 20, and hot water for the amount of hot water supplied is replenished.
さらに、貯湯タンク20は、第1水循環回路21によってヒートポンプサイクル10の水-冷媒熱交換器12の水通路12bと接続されている。第1水循環回路21は、貯湯タンク20と水-冷媒熱交換器12との間で給湯水を循環させる水循環回路である。この第1水循環回路21には、給湯水を循環させる水圧送器としての第1水循環ポンプ22が配置されている。
Furthermore, the hot water storage tank 20 is connected to the water passage 12 b of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12 of the heat pump cycle 10 by the first water circulation circuit 21. The first water circulation circuit 21 is a water circulation circuit that circulates hot water between the hot water storage tank 20 and the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12. The first water circulation circuit 21 is provided with a first water circulation pump 22 as a water pressure feeder for circulating hot water.
第1水循環ポンプ22は、貯湯タンク20の下方側に設けられた給湯水出口から流出した給湯水を吸入して、水-冷媒熱交換器12の水通路12bへ給湯水を圧送する電動式の水ポンプである。さらに、この第1水循環ポンプ22は、制御装置から出力される制御信号によって、その作動(回転数)が制御される。
The first water circulation pump 22 sucks hot water flowing out from a hot water outlet provided at the lower side of the hot water storage tank 20 and pumps the hot water into the water passage 12 b of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12. It is a water pump. Further, the operation (rotation speed) of the first water circulation pump 22 is controlled by a control signal output from the control device.
従って、第1水循環ポンプ22を作動させると、給湯水は、貯湯タンク20の下方側に設けられた給湯水出口→第1水循環ポンプ22→水-冷媒熱交換器12の水通路12b→貯湯タンク20の上方側に設けられた給湯水入口の順に循環する。これにより、水-冷媒熱交換器12にて加熱された給湯水は貯湯タンク20の上方側に流出し、貯湯タンク20内では上方側から下方側へ向かって給湯水の温度が低くなる温度分布が生じる。
Therefore, when the first water circulation pump 22 is operated, hot water is supplied from the hot water outlet provided at the lower side of the hot water storage tank 20 → the first water circulation pump 22 → the water passage 12b of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12 → the hot water storage tank. It circulates in order of the hot water supply inlet provided on the upper side of 20. Accordingly, the hot water heated by the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12 flows out to the upper side of the hot water storage tank 20, and the temperature distribution in which the temperature of the hot water is decreased from the upper side to the lower side in the hot water storage tank 20. Occurs.
さらに、本実施形態では、水-冷媒熱交換器12として対向流型の熱交換器を採用している。従って、貯湯タンク20の下方側に設けられた給湯水出口から流出した給湯水は、水-冷媒熱交換器12の冷媒通路12aのうち冷媒流れ下流側を流通する比較的エンタルピの低い冷媒と熱交換することになる。つまり、貯湯タンク20の下方側の低温の給湯水は、水-冷媒熱交換器12にて、冷媒通路12a下流側の電気式膨張弁13へ流入する冷媒と直接的に熱交換する熱媒体となる。
Furthermore, in this embodiment, a counter-flow type heat exchanger is adopted as the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12. Accordingly, the hot water flowing out from the hot water outlet provided on the lower side of the hot water storage tank 20 has a relatively low enthalpy refrigerant and heat circulating in the refrigerant flow downstream of the refrigerant passage 12a of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12. Will be replaced. That is, the low-temperature hot-water supply on the lower side of the hot water storage tank 20 is exchanged by the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12 with a heat medium that directly exchanges heat with the refrigerant flowing into the electric expansion valve 13 on the downstream side of the refrigerant passage 12a. Become.
一方、水-冷媒熱交換器12の水通路12bから流出する給湯水は、水-冷媒熱交換器12の冷媒通路12aのうち冷媒流れ上流側を流通する比較的エンタルピの高い冷媒と熱交換して加熱される。つまり、貯湯タンク20の上方側の高温の給湯水は、水-冷媒熱交換器12にて、ヒートポンプサイクル10の圧縮機11から吐出された高温高圧冷媒によって直接的に加熱された熱媒体となる。
On the other hand, hot water flowing out of the water passage 12b of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12 exchanges heat with a refrigerant having a relatively high enthalpy flowing through the refrigerant flow upstream side of the refrigerant passage 12a of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12. Heated. That is, the hot hot water on the upper side of the hot water storage tank 20 becomes a heat medium directly heated by the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 11 of the heat pump cycle 10 in the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12. .
給気加熱ユニット30は、室内の換気を行う際に、室内から室外へ排出される排気が流通する排気通風路32および室外から室内へ取り入れられる給気が流通する給気通風路33が形成されたケーシング31を有する。このケーシング31内に、排気送風ファン32a、給気送風ファン33a、換気熱交換器34、給気を加熱する高温側ヒータコア35および低温側ヒータコア36が収容される。
When the air supply heating unit 30 ventilates the room, an air exhaust passage 32 through which exhaust air exhausted from the room to the outside flows and an air supply air passage 33 through which air supplied from the outside to the room flows are formed. A casing 31 is provided. The casing 31 accommodates an exhaust fan 32a, an air supply fan 33a, a ventilation heat exchanger 34, a high temperature side heater core 35 and a low temperature side heater core 36 for heating the supply air.

The exhaust blower fan 32a is an electric blower that blows exhaust air from the room to the outside, and is disposed on the most upstream side of the exhaust air flow path 32. The supply air blower fan 33 a is an electric blower that blows supply air from the outside to the inside of the room, and is disposed on the most upstream side of the supply air flow path 33. Further, both the exhaust blower fan 32a and the supply air blower fan 33a are controlled in operating rate, that is, the rotation speed (the amount of air to be blown) by the control voltage output from the control device.
換気熱交換器34は、室内の換気を行う際に、排気と給気とを熱交換させるものである。従って、換気熱交換器34は、例えば、室内の暖房時には、高温の排気と低温の給気とを熱交換させて、給気を加熱することができる。つまり、換気熱交換器34は、暖房時に排気とともに室外へ排出されてしまう熱エネルギを回収して給気を加熱することによって、換気による室内の温度低下を抑制する機能を果たす。
The ventilation heat exchanger 34 exchanges heat between the exhaust and the air supply when the room is ventilated. Therefore, the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can heat the supply air by, for example, exchanging heat between the high-temperature exhaust and the low-temperature supply air during indoor heating. That is, the ventilation heat exchanger 34 functions to suppress the temperature drop in the room due to ventilation by recovering the heat energy that is exhausted to the outside of the room together with the exhaust during heating, and heating the supply air.
このような換気熱交換器34としては、伝熱性に優れる複数の金属板(例えば、アルミニウム板や銅板)の板面同士を互いに平行に積層配置し、隣り合う金属板間に排気通路と吸気通路とを交互に形成し、それぞれの排気通路および給気通路の内部に排気と給気との熱交換を促進するインナーフィンを配置することによって構成された熱交換器等を採用することができる。なお、換気熱交換器34は、例えば、室内の冷房時には、高温の給気と低温の排気とを熱交換させて、給気を冷却することもできる。

Are alternately formed, and heat exchangers configured by disposing inner fins for promoting heat exchange between the exhaust and the supply air inside the respective exhaust passages and the supply passages can be employed. Note that the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can cool the supply air by, for example, exchanging heat between the high-temperature air supply and the low-temperature exhaust during indoor cooling.
高温側ヒータコア35は、内部に温水を流通させ、この温水を熱源として換気熱交換器34から流出する給気(換気熱交換器34下流側の給気)を加熱する高温側の加熱用熱交換器である。低温側ヒータコア36は、内部に高温側ヒータコア35から流出して温度低下した温水を流通させて、この温水を熱源として換気熱交換器34へ流入する給気(換気熱交換器34上流側の給気)を加熱する低温側の加熱用熱交換器である。
The high temperature side heater core 35 circulates hot water therein, and heat supply for heating on the high temperature side that heats the supply air flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 (supply air downstream of the ventilation heat exchanger 34) using this warm water as a heat source. It is a vessel. The low-temperature side heater core 36 circulates hot water that has flowed out of the high-temperature side heater core 35 and reduced in temperature therein, and uses this hot water as a heat source to flow into the ventilation heat exchanger 34 (the supply air upstream of the ventilation heat exchanger 34). This is a heat exchanger for heating on the low temperature side for heating the gas.
高温側ヒータコア35および低温側ヒータコア36は、温水を循環させる第2水循環回路37に配置されており、貯湯タンク20内に配置された温水通路38に接続されている。第2水循環回路37は、温水通路38、高温側ヒータコア35および低温側ヒータコア36の間で温水を循環させる水循環回路である。

The second water circulation circuit 37 includes three types of flow rate adjusting valves 39 for adjusting the flow rate ratio between the flow rate of hot water flowing into the high temperature side heater core 35 and the flow rate of low temperature hot water flowing into the low temperature side heater core 36. A second water circulation pump 40 or the like as a water pressure feeder for circulating hot water is disposed. Further, the second water circulation circuit 37 is provided with a bypass passage 41 that flows the hot water that has flowed out of the high-temperature side heater core 35 and decreased in temperature to bypass the low-temperature side heater core 36 to the inlet side of the second water circulation pump 40.
また、第2水循環回路37を循環する温水は、貯湯タンク20内に貯留された給湯水の有する熱を給気へ移動させる熱媒体であって、給湯水と同じ水道水あるいはエチレングリコール水溶液等を採用することができる。つまり、暖房システム1では、給湯水と温水との2種類の熱媒体を介して、ヒートポンプサイクル10にて発生した熱を吸気へ移動させる。
The hot water circulating in the second water circulation circuit 37 is a heat medium that moves the heat of hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 20 to the supply air, and uses the same tap water or ethylene glycol aqueous solution as the hot water. Can be adopted. That is, in the heating system 1, the heat generated in the heat pump cycle 10 is moved to the intake air via two types of heat media, hot water and hot water.
温水通路38は、貯湯タンク20内を蛇行しながら上下方向に伸びるように配置されている。従って、温水を温水通路38に流通させることで、貯湯タンク20内に貯湯された給湯水を熱源として温水を加熱することができる。
The hot water passage 38 is arranged to extend in the vertical direction while meandering in the hot water storage tank 20. Therefore, by circulating the hot water through the hot water passage 38, the hot water can be heated using hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 20 as a heat source.
さらに、温水通路38の温水入口は貯湯タンク20の下方側に設けられ、温水通路38の温水出口は貯湯タンク20の上方側に設けられている。前述の如く、貯湯タンク20内の給湯水には下方側から上方側へ向かって温度が高くなる温度分布が生じているので、温水通路38を流通する温水についても下方側(温水入口側)から上方側(温水出口側)へ向かって温度が上昇することになる。
Furthermore, the hot water inlet of the hot water passage 38 is provided below the hot water storage tank 20, and the hot water outlet of the hot water passage 38 is provided above the hot water storage tank 20. As described above, the hot water supply in the hot water storage tank 20 has a temperature distribution in which the temperature increases from the lower side to the upper side, so that the hot water flowing through the hot water passage 38 is also from the lower side (hot water inlet side). The temperature increases toward the upper side (warm water outlet side).
流量調整弁39は、低温側ヒータコア36の温水流れ上流側に配置されて、高温側ヒータコア35から流出して温度低下した低温側の温水のうち、低温側ヒータコア36へ流入させる温水の流量とバイパス通路41へ流入させる温水の流量とのバイパス流量比を変化させる電動式の流量調整弁である。さらに、この流量調整弁39は、制御装置から出力される制御信号によって、その作動が制御される。
The flow rate adjusting valve 39 is disposed upstream of the hot water flow of the low temperature side heater core 36, and bypasses and bypasses the flow rate of hot water that flows into the low temperature side heater core 36 out of the low temperature side hot water that has flowed out of the high temperature side heater core 35 and lowered in temperature. This is an electric flow rate adjustment valve that changes the bypass flow rate ratio with the flow rate of hot water flowing into the passage 41. Further, the operation of the flow rate adjusting valve 39 is controlled by a control signal output from the control device.
つまり、流量調整弁39は、バイパス流量比を変化させて低温側ヒータコア36へ流入する低温側の温水の流量を調整することによって、高温側ヒータコア35へ流入する高温側の温水(高温側の熱媒体)の流量と低温側ヒータコア36へ流入する低温側の温水(低温側の熱媒体)の流量との流量比(熱媒体流量比)を調整する熱媒体流量調整部を構成している。
That is, the flow rate adjusting valve 39 adjusts the flow rate of the low temperature side hot water flowing into the low temperature side heater core 36 by changing the bypass flow rate ratio, so that the high temperature side hot water flowing into the high temperature side heater core 35 (the high temperature side heat flow). The heat medium flow rate adjustment unit is configured to adjust the flow rate ratio (heat medium flow rate ratio) between the flow rate of the medium) and the flow rate of the low temperature side hot water (low temperature side heat medium) flowing into the low temperature side heater core 36.
第2水循環ポンプ40は、低温側ヒータコア36から流出した温水を吸入して、温水通路38の温水入口側へ圧送する電動式の水ポンプである。この第2水循環ポンプ40は、制御装置から出力される制御信号によってその作動(回転数)が制御される。
The second water circulation pump 40 is an electric water pump that sucks the hot water flowing out from the low-temperature side heater core 36 and pumps it to the hot water inlet side of the hot water passage 38. The operation (rotation speed) of the second water circulation pump 40 is controlled by a control signal output from the control device.

Therefore, when the second water circulation pump 40 is operated, the hot water is arranged at the second water circulation pump 40 → the hot water inlet of the hot water passage 38 arranged on the lower side of the hot water storage tank → the hot water passage 38 → the upper side of the hot water storage tank. It circulates in order of the hot water outlet of the hot water passage 38 → the high temperature side heater core 35 → the flow rate adjustment valve 39 → the low temperature side heater core 36 → the second water circulation pump 40 and the flow rate adjustment valve 39 → the bypass passage 41 → the second water circulation pump 40.

また、第2水循環回路37の第2水循環ポンプ40へ出力される制御電圧については、フィードバック制御手法等を用いて、温水通路38から流出する温水の出口温度Tout(高温側ヒータコア35へ流入する温水温度)が予め定めた基準温度(本実施形態では、40℃~50℃)となるように決定される。この基準温度は、高温側ヒータコア35にて温水通路38から流出した温水と熱交換した給気が、室内の暖房を適切に実現可能な温度(例えば、30℃~40℃)となるように定められた値である。
Moreover, about the control voltage output to the 2nd water circulation pump 40 of the 2nd water circulation circuit 37, using the feedback control method etc., the exit temperature Tout of the warm water which flows out from the warm water path 38 (the warm water which flows into the high temperature side heater core 35) Temperature) is determined to be a predetermined reference temperature (in this embodiment, 40 ° C. to 50 ° C.). This reference temperature is determined so that the supply air heat-exchanged with the hot water flowing out from the hot water passage 38 in the high-temperature side heater core 35 becomes a temperature (for example, 30 ° C. to 40 ° C.) at which the indoor heating can be appropriately realized. Value.
また、流量調整弁39へ出力される制御信号については、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度が、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の露点温度Tdpより高い値となるように決定される。
The control signal output to the flow rate adjustment valve 39 is determined so that the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is higher than the dew point temperature Tdp of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34. The
ここで、暖房時の換気熱交換器34では、給気と排気とを熱交換させることによって、排気とともに室外へ排出されてしまう熱エネルギを回収している。従って、図2に示すように、室内の温度(すなわち、入口側排気温度Texi)および外気温Tamが一定である場合には、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度が低くなるに伴って、熱エネルギの回収量も増加することになる。
Here, in the ventilation heat exchanger 34 at the time of heating, the heat energy that is discharged to the outside together with the exhaust is recovered by exchanging heat between the supply air and the exhaust. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the indoor temperature (that is, the inlet side exhaust temperature Texi) and the outside air temperature Tam are constant, the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 decreases. The amount of recovered heat energy will also increase.
ところが、熱エネルギの回収量を増加させるために、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度を露点温度Tdp以下となるまで低下させてしまうと、換気熱交換器34の排気通路の出口側に結露が生じてしまう。このような結露は、換気熱交換器34内の排気通路を凍結させて閉塞させてしまったり、家屋の壁面等に流れ出てカビ等を発生させてしまったりする原因となる。
However, if the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is lowered to the dew point temperature Tdp or less in order to increase the amount of recovered heat energy, the exhaust heat exchanger 34 will be moved to the outlet side of the exhaust passage. Condensation will occur. Such condensation may cause the exhaust passage in the ventilation heat exchanger 34 to be frozen and blocked, or flow out to the wall surface of the house and generate mold or the like.
これに対して、換気熱交換器34では給気と排気とを熱交換させるので、図2に示すように、換気熱交換器34へ流入する給気の温度を調整することで、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度を調整することができる。
On the other hand, the ventilation heat exchanger 34 exchanges heat between the supply air and the exhaust gas. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, by adjusting the temperature of the supply air flowing into the ventilation heat exchanger 34, the ventilation heat exchange is performed. The temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the vessel 34 can be adjusted.
そこで、本実施形態では、制御装置が流量調整弁39の作動を制御し、低温側ヒータコア36へ流入させる温水流量を調整することによって、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度が露点温度Tdpよりも予め定めた基準値α(本実施形態では、1℃)だけ高い温度に近づくようにしている。
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the control device controls the operation of the flow rate adjustment valve 39 to adjust the flow rate of hot water flowing into the low-temperature side heater core 36, whereby the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is changed to the dew point temperature Tdp. The temperature is made to approach a temperature that is higher by a reference value α (1 ° C. in the present embodiment) that is set in advance.
なお、この基準値αは、各検出器の検出誤差や流量調整弁39の作動遅れ等によって、換気熱交換器34の排気通路の出口側に結露が生じてしまうことがないように決定された値である。
The reference value α is determined so that condensation does not occur on the outlet side of the exhaust passage of the ventilation heat exchanger 34 due to detection error of each detector, operation delay of the flow rate adjustment valve 39, and the like. Value.
具体的には、流量調整弁39に出力される制御信号については、図3のフローチャートに示すように決定される。なお、図3のフローチャートは、メインルーチンのサブルーチンとして実行される制御フローである。
Specifically, the control signal output to the flow rate adjustment valve 39 is determined as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is a control flow executed as a subroutine of the main routine.
S1では、メインルーチンで読み込んだ、外気温Tam、入口側排気温度Texiおよび入口側排気湿度Hexi等に基づいて、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の露点温度Tdpを算出する。
In S1, the dew point temperature Tdp of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is calculated based on the outside temperature Tam, the inlet side exhaust temperature Texi, the inlet side exhaust humidity Hexi, etc. read in the main routine.
なお、露点温度Tdpは、外気温Tam、入口側排気温度Texiおよび入口側排気湿度Hexiのうち、少なくとも2つの検出値を用いることによって算出あるいは推定することができる。本実施形態では、3つの検出値を用いることによって、露点温度Tdpの算出精度を向上させている。
Note that the dew point temperature Tdp can be calculated or estimated by using at least two detection values of the outside air temperature Tam, the inlet side exhaust temperature Texi, and the inlet side exhaust humidity Hexi. In the present embodiment, the calculation accuracy of the dew point temperature Tdp is improved by using three detection values.
続く、S2では、S1にて算出された露点温度Tdpに予め定めた基準値α(例えば、1℃)を加算した値(Tdp+α)と、メインルーチンで読み込んだ、出口側排気温度Texoとを比較する。
Subsequently, in S2, a value (Tdp + α) obtained by adding a predetermined reference value α (for example, 1 ° C.) to the dew point temperature Tdp calculated in S1 is compared with the outlet side exhaust temperature Texo read in the main routine. To do.
S2にて、Tdp+α<Texoになっていると判定された場合は、出口側排気温度Texoが、露点温度Tdpに基準値αを加算した値よりも高くなっているので、換気熱交換器34の排気通路の出口側に結露が生じてしまうおそれはない。
If it is determined in S2 that Tdp + α <Texo, the outlet side exhaust temperature Texo is higher than the value obtained by adding the reference value α to the dew point temperature Tdp. There is no risk of condensation on the outlet side of the exhaust passage.
そこで、S3へ進み、低温側ヒータコア36へ流入させる温水の流量を、予め定めた所定量分減少させるように、流量調整弁39へ出力される制御信号を決定して、メインルーチンへ戻る。これにより、換気熱交換器34へ流入する給気の温度を低下させて、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度を低下させることができるので、換気熱交換器34における熱エネルギの回収量を増加させることができる。
Therefore, the process proceeds to S3, in which a control signal output to the flow rate adjusting valve 39 is determined so as to decrease the flow rate of the hot water flowing into the low temperature side heater core 36 by a predetermined amount, and the process returns to the main routine. Thereby, the temperature of the supply air flowing into the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can be lowered, and the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can be lowered. Therefore, the amount of recovered heat energy in the ventilation heat exchanger 34 Can be increased.
S2にて、Tdp+α=Texoになっていると判定された場合は、出口側排気温度Texoが露点温度Tdpよりも基準値αだけ高くなっているので、流量調整弁39へ出力される制御信号を変更することなくメインルーチンへ戻る。
If it is determined in S2 that Tdp + α = Texo, the outlet side exhaust temperature Texo is higher than the dew point temperature Tdp by the reference value α, so that the control signal output to the flow rate adjustment valve 39 is Return to the main routine without change.
S2にて、Tdp+α>Texoになっていると判定された場合は、出口側排気温度Texoが、露点温度Tdpに基準体αを加算した値よりも低くなっているので、換気熱交換器34の排気通路の出口側に結露が生じてしまうおそれがある。
If it is determined in S2 that Tdp + α> Texo, the outlet side exhaust temperature Texo is lower than the value obtained by adding the reference body α to the dew point temperature Tdp. Condensation may occur on the outlet side of the exhaust passage.
そこで、S4へ進み、低温側ヒータコア36へ流入させる温水の流量を、予め定めた所定量分増加させるように、流量調整弁39へ出力される制御信号を決定して、メインルーチンへ戻る。これにより、換気熱交換器34へ流入する給気の温度を上昇させて、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度を上昇させることができるので、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度を露点温度Tdpより高い値とすることができる。
Therefore, the process proceeds to S4, the control signal output to the flow rate adjusting valve 39 is determined so that the flow rate of the hot water flowing into the low temperature side heater core 36 is increased by a predetermined amount, and the process returns to the main routine. As a result, the temperature of the supply air flowing into the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can be raised and the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can be raised, so the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can be increased. Can be made higher than the dew point temperature Tdp.
さらに、制御装置が実行する制御処理では、上記の如く決定した制御信号および制御電圧を各種制御対象機器へ出力する。そして、貯湯タンク20内に貯湯された給湯水の温度Ttが、温度設定スイッチによって設定された目標加熱温度に近づくように、ヒートポンプサイクル10を作動させる。
Further, in the control process executed by the control device, the control signal and the control voltage determined as described above are output to various control target devices. Then, the heat pump cycle 10 is operated so that the temperature Tt of the hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 20 approaches the target heating temperature set by the temperature setting switch.
その後、制御装置は、操作パネルの作動スイッチがOFFされて暖房システム1の作動停止が要求されるまで、所定の制御周期毎に、上述の検出信号および操作信号の読み込み→各種制御対象機器の制御状態の決定→各種制御対象機器への制御電圧および制御信号の出力といった制御ルーチンを繰り返す。
After that, the control device reads the detection signal and the operation signal at a predetermined control cycle until the operation switch of the operation panel is turned off and the operation stop of the heating system 1 is requested. Control routines such as state determination → output of control voltages and control signals to various devices to be controlled are repeated.
従って、暖房システム1を作動させると、ヒートポンプサイクル10では、圧縮機11から吐出された高温高圧冷媒が、水-冷媒熱交換器12の冷媒通路12aへ流入し、水通路12bを流通する給湯水へ放熱する。これにより、水通路12bを流通する給湯水が加熱される。
Therefore, when the heating system 1 is operated, in the heat pump cycle 10, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 11 flows into the refrigerant passage 12a of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12 and flows through the water passage 12b. To dissipate heat. Thereby, the hot water supplied through the water passage 12b is heated.
冷媒通路12aから流出した高圧冷媒は、電気式膨張弁13へ流入して低圧冷媒となるまで減圧される。電気式膨張弁13にて減圧された低圧冷媒は、蒸発器14へ流入し、給気加熱ユニット30の排気通風路32から流出した排気から吸熱して蒸発する。蒸発器14から流出した冷媒は、圧縮機11へ吸入されて再び圧縮される。
The high-pressure refrigerant that has flowed out of the refrigerant passage 12a flows into the electric expansion valve 13 and is decompressed until it becomes a low-pressure refrigerant. The low-pressure refrigerant decompressed by the electric expansion valve 13 flows into the evaporator 14, absorbs heat from the exhaust gas flowing out from the exhaust ventilation path 32 of the supply air heating unit 30, and evaporates. The refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator 14 is sucked into the compressor 11 and compressed again.
また、第1水循環回路21では、第1水循環ポンプ22から圧送された貯湯タンク20の下方側の比較的低温の給湯水が、水-冷媒熱交換器12の水通路12bを流通する際に加熱される。水-冷媒熱交換器12にて加熱されて高温となった給湯水は、貯湯タンク20の上方側へ貯留される。
In the first water circulation circuit 21, the relatively low temperature hot water supplied from the first water circulation pump 22 on the lower side of the hot water storage tank 20 is heated when it flows through the water passage 12 b of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12. Is done. Hot water that has been heated by the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12 to a high temperature is stored above the hot water storage tank 20.
また、第2水循環回路37では、第2水循環ポンプ40が作動しているので、温水通路38の上方側の温水出口から温水が流出する。この際、温水通路38の温水出口から流出する温水は、貯湯タンク20の上方側の比較的高い温度の給湯水によって加熱され、基準温度となるまで温度上昇する。
In the second water circulation circuit 37, since the second water circulation pump 40 is operating, the warm water flows out from the warm water outlet on the upper side of the warm water passage 38. At this time, the hot water flowing out from the hot water outlet of the hot water passage 38 is heated by the hot water supply at a relatively high temperature above the hot water storage tank 20 and rises in temperature until it reaches the reference temperature.
そして、基準温度となるまで温度上昇した温水(高温側の熱媒体)は、高温側ヒータコア35へ流入して、換気熱交換器34から流出した給気と熱交換して放熱する。これにより、換気熱交換器34から流出した給気が室内の暖房を適切に実現可能な温度となるまで加熱される。
And the hot water (high temperature side heat medium) whose temperature has been increased to the reference temperature flows into the high temperature side heater core 35 and exchanges heat with the supply air flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 to dissipate heat. Thereby, the supply air flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is heated until it reaches a temperature at which the room can be appropriately heated.
つまり、高温側ヒータコア35では、ヒートポンプサイクル10の圧縮機11から吐出された高温高圧冷媒によって給湯水を介して間接的に加熱された温水(高温側の熱媒体)を熱源として、換気熱交換器34から流出した給気を加熱している。
That is, in the high temperature side heater core 35, the ventilation heat exchanger uses hot water (high temperature side heat medium) heated indirectly through hot water by the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 11 of the heat pump cycle 10 as a heat source. The supply air flowing out from 34 is heated.
さらに、高温側ヒータコア35にて給気に放熱して温度低下した温水(低温側の熱媒体)は、流量調整弁39へ流入して、低温側ヒータコア36およびバイパス通路41へ分配される。この際、低温側ヒータコア36へ流入する温水流量は、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度が露点温度Tdpに基準値αを加えた値(Tdp+α)に近づくように調整される。
Furthermore, the hot water (low temperature side heat medium) whose temperature has been reduced by releasing heat to the supply air at the high temperature side heater core 35 flows into the flow rate adjustment valve 39 and is distributed to the low temperature side heater core 36 and the bypass passage 41. At this time, the flow rate of hot water flowing into the low-temperature side heater core 36 is adjusted so that the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 approaches a value (Tdp + α) obtained by adding the reference value α to the dew point temperature Tdp.
流量調整弁39から低温側ヒータコア36へ流入した温水は、給気送風ファン33aから送風されて換気熱交換器34へ流入する給気と熱交換して放熱する。これにより、換気熱交換器34へ流入する給気が加熱される。低温側ヒータコア36から流出した温水は、バイパス通路41から流出した温水と合流して第2水循環ポンプ40に吸入され、貯湯タンク20の下方側に配置された温水通路38の温水入口へ圧送される。
The hot water that has flowed into the low-temperature side heater core 36 from the flow rate adjustment valve 39 exchanges heat with the supply air that is blown from the supply air blowing fan 33a and flows into the ventilation heat exchanger 34, and dissipates heat. Thereby, the supply air flowing into the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is heated. The hot water flowing out from the low-temperature side heater core 36 joins the hot water flowing out from the bypass passage 41 and is sucked into the second water circulation pump 40 and is pumped to the hot water inlet of the hot water passage 38 disposed on the lower side of the hot water storage tank 20. .
ここで、温水通路38を流通する温水のうち温水流れ上流側(温水入口側)の温水と熱交換する貯湯タンク20の下方側の給湯水は、第1水循環ポンプ22から水-冷媒熱交換器12の水通路12bへ圧送されて、水-冷媒熱交換器12の冷媒通路12a出口側の電気式膨張弁13へ流入する冷媒と熱交換する。
Here, hot water supplied to the lower side of the hot water storage tank 20 that exchanges heat with the hot water on the upstream side (the hot water inlet side) of the hot water flowing through the hot water passage 38 is supplied from the first water circulation pump 22 to the water-refrigerant heat exchanger. The heat is exchanged with the refrigerant that is pumped to the 12 water passages 12 b and flows into the electric expansion valve 13 on the outlet side of the refrigerant passage 12 a of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 12.
従って、ヒートポンプサイクル10では、低温側ヒータコア36から流出した温水(低温側の熱媒体)によって、電気式膨張弁13へ流入する冷媒の温度を給湯水を介して低下させている。
Therefore, in the heat pump cycle 10, the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the electric expansion valve 13 is lowered through the hot water by the hot water (low temperature side heat medium) flowing out from the low temperature side heater core 36.
また、給気加熱ユニット30では、給気送風ファン33aから送風された給気(外気)が低温側ヒータコア36にて加熱され、換気熱交換器34の給気通路へ流入する。換気熱交換器34の給気通路へ流入した給気は、排気送風ファン32aから送風されて換気熱交換器34の排気通路を流通する排気(内気)と熱交換する。これにより、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度が露点温度Tdpに基準値αを加えた値(Tdp+α)に近づくように調整される。
In the supply air heating unit 30, the supply air (outside air) blown from the supply air blowing fan 33a is heated by the low-temperature side heater core 36 and flows into the supply passage of the ventilation heat exchanger 34. The supply air that has flowed into the supply passage of the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is exchanged with the exhaust (inside air) that is blown from the exhaust blower fan 32 a and flows through the exhaust passage of the ventilation heat exchanger 34. Thereby, the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is adjusted so as to approach a value (Tdp + α) obtained by adding the reference value α to the dew point temperature Tdp.
換気熱交換器34から流出した給気は、高温側ヒータコア35にてさらに加熱されて、図示しないダクトを介して暖房対象空間である各室内へ送風される、一方、換気熱交換器34から流出した排気は、排気通風路32および図示しないダクトを介してヒートポンプサイクル10の蒸発器14側へ送風される。
The supply air that has flowed out of the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is further heated by the high-temperature heater core 35 and blown into each room that is a space to be heated through a duct (not shown), while it flows out of the ventilation heat exchanger 34. The exhausted air is blown to the evaporator 14 side of the heat pump cycle 10 through the exhaust ventilation path 32 and a duct (not shown).
以上の如く、暖房システム1では、ヒートポンプサイクル10の水-冷媒熱交換器2にて加熱された給湯水を貯湯タンク20に貯留することができる。さらに、高温側ヒータコア35にて加熱された給気を、暖房対象空間である各室内へ送風することによって、各室内の暖房を実現することができる。
As described above, in the heating system 1, hot water heated by the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 2 of the heat pump cycle 10 can be stored in the hot water storage tank 20. Furthermore, heating of each room | chamber interior is realizable by ventilating the air supply heated with the high temperature side heater core 35 to each room | chamber interior which is heating object space.
この際、高温側ヒータコア35では、ヒートポンプサイクル10にて発生した熱によって給湯水を介して間接的に加熱された熱媒体を熱源として、暖房対象空間へ取り入れられる給気を加熱しているので、給気を暖房対象空間の暖房に必要な程度の温度まで充分かつ容易に昇温させることができる。
At this time, in the high temperature side heater core 35, the heat medium heated indirectly through the hot water by the heat generated in the heat pump cycle 10 is used as a heat source to heat the supply air taken into the space to be heated. The supply air can be sufficiently and easily raised to a temperature required for heating the space to be heated.
さらに、低温側ヒータコア36にて、温水と換気熱交換器34へ流入する給気とを熱交換させることによって、電気式膨張弁13へ流入する冷媒と熱交換する給湯水の温度を低下させるので、電気式膨張弁13へ流入する冷媒のエンタルピを低下させて、ヒートポンプサイクルの成績係数(COP)を向上させることができる。
Furthermore, the temperature of the hot water that exchanges heat with the refrigerant that flows into the electric expansion valve 13 is lowered by exchanging heat between the hot water and the supply air that flows into the ventilation heat exchanger 34 in the low-temperature side heater core 36. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump cycle can be improved by lowering the enthalpy of the refrigerant flowing into the electric expansion valve 13.
つまり、暖房システム1によれば、高温側ヒータコア35および低温側ヒータコア36の2つの加熱用熱交換器を備えていることによって、ヒートポンプサイクル10のCOPの低下を招くことなく、室外から暖房対象空間へ取り入れられる給気を充分に加熱することができる。
That is, according to the heating system 1, since the two heat exchangers for heating, that is, the high temperature side heater core 35 and the low temperature side heater core 36, are provided, the space to be heated from the outside without causing a decrease in COP of the heat pump cycle 10. It is possible to sufficiently heat the air supplied to the air.
また、暖房システム1によれば、熱媒体流量調整部である流量調整弁39を備えているので、低温側ヒータコア36の加熱能力を調整して、換気熱交換器34へ流入する給気の温度、すなわち、換気熱交換器34にて排気と熱交換する給気の温度を調整することができる。従って、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度を調整することができ、換気熱交換器34の排気出口側の結露を抑制することができる。
In addition, according to the heating system 1, the flow rate adjustment valve 39 that is a heat medium flow rate adjustment unit is provided, so that the heating capacity of the low-temperature side heater core 36 is adjusted and the temperature of the supply air flowing into the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is adjusted. That is, the temperature of the supply air that exchanges heat with the exhaust can be adjusted by the ventilation heat exchanger 34. Therefore, the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can be adjusted, and condensation on the exhaust outlet side of the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can be suppressed.
さらに、本実施形態では、具体的に、換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の温度が換気熱交換器34から流出する排気の露点温度Tdpに基準値αを加算した値となるように、流量調整弁39の作動を制御するので、換気熱交換器34の排気出口側の結露を確実に抑制することができるとともに、排気からの熱エネルギの回収量が低下してしまうことを抑制できる。
Further, in the present embodiment, specifically, the flow rate is set so that the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 becomes a value obtained by adding the reference value α to the dew point temperature Tdp of the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34. Since the operation of the regulating valve 39 is controlled, dew condensation on the exhaust outlet side of the ventilation heat exchanger 34 can be reliably suppressed, and a reduction in the amount of recovered heat energy from the exhaust can be suppressed.
また、本実施形態では、第2水循環回路37にバイパス通路41を設け、熱媒体流量調整部として、低温側ヒータコア36およびバイパス通路41の温水流れ上流側に配置された流量調整弁39を採用している。従って、熱媒体流量調整部が、熱媒体流量比を変化させる際に、暖房対象空間へ送風させる給気の温度を変化させてしまうことを抑制できる。
In the present embodiment, the second water circulation circuit 37 is provided with a bypass passage 41, and a low-temperature heater core 36 and a flow rate adjustment valve 39 disposed on the upstream side of the hot water flow of the bypass passage 41 are employed as the heat medium flow rate adjustment unit. ing. Therefore, when the heat medium flow rate adjustment unit changes the heat medium flow rate ratio, it can be suppressed that the temperature of the supply air to be blown into the space to be heated is changed.
その理由は、流量調整弁39が低温側ヒータコア36へ流入する温水(低温側の熱媒体)の流量を変化させても、高温側ヒータコア35へ流入する温水(高温側の熱媒体)の流量が変化しないからである。
The reason for this is that even if the flow rate adjusting valve 39 changes the flow rate of the hot water (low temperature side heat medium) flowing into the low temperature side heater core 36, the flow rate of the hot water (high temperature side heat medium) flowing into the high temperature side heater core 35 is maintained. This is because it does not change.
また、暖房システム1の高温側ヒータコア35では、給湯水によって加熱された温水を熱源として、換気熱交換器34から流出した給気を加熱している。このような構成では、貯湯タンク20内の給湯水の最高温度と、高温側ヒータコア35へ流入する温水の最高温度とを異なる値とすることができる。
Moreover, in the high temperature side heater core 35 of the heating system 1, the supply air flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 is heated using the hot water heated by the hot water supply as a heat source. In such a configuration, the maximum temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank 20 and the maximum temperature of the hot water flowing into the high temperature side heater core 35 can be set to different values.
従って、高温側ヒータコア35にて加熱された給気の温度を、不必要に上昇させてしまうことなく、室内の暖房を適切に実現可能な温度に容易に調整することができる。さらに、貯湯タンク20内に貯留された給湯水を、高温側ヒータコア35あるいは低温側ヒータコア36とは異なる温度帯の熱源を必要とする暖房用機器(あるいは加熱用機器)の熱源として用いることもできる。
Therefore, it is possible to easily adjust the temperature of the supply air heated by the high-temperature side heater core 35 to a temperature at which room heating can be appropriately realized without unnecessarily increasing the temperature. Furthermore, the hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 20 can also be used as a heat source for a heating device (or a heating device) that requires a heat source in a temperature range different from that of the high temperature side heater core 35 or the low temperature side heater core 36. .
また、暖房システム1では、蒸発器14にて冷媒と換気熱交換器34から流出した排気とを熱交換させるので、排気の有する熱を冷媒に吸熱させて給湯水を加熱するために有効に活用することができる。延いては、排気の有する熱エネルギが室外に放出されてしまうことを抑制し、排気の有する熱エネルギを室内の暖房を行うために有効に活用することができる。
Moreover, in the heating system 1, since the refrigerant and the exhaust gas flowing out from the ventilation heat exchanger 34 are heat-exchanged in the evaporator 14, the heat of the exhaust gas is absorbed by the refrigerant and effectively used to heat the hot water supply water. can do. As a result, the thermal energy of the exhaust can be prevented from being released to the outside, and the thermal energy of the exhaust can be effectively used for heating the room.
なお、上述の説明では、室内の暖房を行う際の暖房システム1の作動について説明したが、もちろん、室内の暖房を行うことなく給湯水を加熱するように作動させてもよい。この場合は、排気送風ファン32a、給気送風ファン33bおよび第2水循環ポンプ40の作動を停止させ、蒸発器14では冷媒が外気から吸熱して蒸発するように作動させればよい。
In the above description, the operation of the heating system 1 when heating the room has been described. Of course, the hot water supply water may be operated without heating the room. In this case, the operations of the exhaust air blowing fan 32a, the supply air blowing fan 33b, and the second water circulation pump 40 may be stopped, and the evaporator 14 may be operated so that the refrigerant absorbs heat from the outside air and evaporates.
