Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2375195A1] A heat pump water heater in which the number of components is small, a measure against drain pan freezing is realized with a simple structure, and a drain reservoir is difficult to be generated in the drain pan is obtained. This heat pump water heater is provided with a refrigerating cycle in which a compressor 1, a four-way valve 2 that switches a flow direction of a refrigerant, a water heat exchanger 3 that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and water, an expansion valve 4 that adjusts and decompresses a flow rate of the refrigerant, and an air heat exchanger 5 that exchanges heat between air and the refrigerant are connected sequentially by a refrigerant pipeline, a water circuit in which the water heat exchanger 3, a hot water tank 7 which reserves water heated by the water heat exchanger 3, and a pump 11 are connected sequentially, and a three-way valve 12 disposed between the pump 11 and the water heat exchanger 3 so that a water circuit flows to a lower-stage path 5a of the air heat exchanger and returns to the water heat exchanger 3, and a control portion that switches the three-way valve 12 of the water circuit so that high-temperature water in the hot water tank flows to the lower-stage path 5a of the air heat exchanger during defrosting operation is disposed.
