Abstract (en)

In a heat pump water heater, a water-cooling heat exchanger is comprised for preliminarily cooling water, that flows into a water-heating heat exchanger for heating the water by a heat exchange with a refrigerant, by performing a heat exchange with a refrigerant, to prevent water from freezing in the water-cooling heat exchanger. A refrigerant temperature sensor 13 for detecting the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from a water-heating heat exchanger 3, and a water-cooling heat exchanger 5 for performing the heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing from an expander 15 toward a compressor 11 and the water supplied from a storage tank 4 are comprised, so that the flow amount of the refrigerant toward the water-cooling heat exchanger 5 is adjusted on the basis of the refrigerant temperature detected by the refrigerant temperature sensor 13. For example, the expander 15 is closed when the temperature detected by the refrigerant temperature sensor 13 is lower than a prescribed temperature.
