Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2725305A2] According to one embodiment, a hot-water supply apparatus includes a hot-water supply tank (31), a heat-pump type refrigeration cycle, a bypass (24), a circulating pump (27), a refrigerant temperature sensor (26) and a control section (50). The circulating pump (27) circulates water in the supply-water tank (31) after making the water pass through the water heat exchanger (22). The refrigerant temperature sensor (26) detects a temperature of the refrigerant when the refrigerant flows between the water heat exchanger (22) and the open/close valve (23). The control section (50) performs a defrosting operation of defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger (14) by activating a defrosting circuit, and also configured to operate the circulating pump (27) in a case where the temperature detected by the refrigerant temperature sensor (26) lowers to be less than a set value during the defrosting operation.
