Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2320158A1] Disclosed is a heat pump system comprising a heat source cycle (A) and an NH3 secondary coolant cycle (B). The heat cycle (A) includes a compressor (1), a condenser (2), an expansion means (3) and a cascade condenser (endothermic unit) (4), and employs an NH3 coolant as a heat source. The NH3 secondary coolant cycle (B) is connected to the heat source cycle (A), and cools an object load with an NH3 secondary coolant, which is heat-absorbed by the cascade condenser (4) of the heat source cycle (A) so that the coolant is condensed. The NH3 secondary coolant cycle (B) includes the cascade condenser (4), which is heat-absorbed by the cascade condenser (4) of the heat source cycle (A) so that the NH3 secondary coolant is condensed, an evaporator (8) for cooling the object coolant with the NH3 secondary coolant condensed in the cascade condenser (4), a head difference unit (H) and a circulating pump (6) arranged between the cascade condenser (4) and the evaporator (8) so as to circulate the NH3 secondary coolant, a bypass conduit for bypassing the circulating pump (6), and a flow control valve (5) arranged in the bypass conduit.
