two-element refrigerating cycle configured by an air conditioning cycle which can

Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
[0006] However, according to the heat pump system disclosed in Patent Literature 1, exhaust
heat of the medium temperature cycle can be utilized as a heat source of the high
temperature cycle only when an exhaust heat amount of the medium temperature cycle
is larger than a heat absorbing amount of the high temperature cycle. In other words,
the exhaust heat of the medium temperature cycle can be utilized for the heat source
of the high temperature cycle, and the exhaust heat recovery operation can be carried
out only in a case where a load of the medium temperature cycle (air conditioning
load) is high.
[0007] For example, there is a case where the air-conditioning load is low in an air-conditioning
operation for air-conditioning a space having a small internal heat generation such
as a space having high insulating performance or a space of few dwellers or the like,
or an air-conditioning operation in a state of a low outdoor temperature at nighttime.
In such a case, the load of the high temperature cycle (hot-water supply load) may
exceed the air conditioning load.
[0008] The technology disclosed in Patent Literature 1 poses a problem that a high temperature
cycle cannot be operated as requested only by the exhaust heat of the medium temperature
cycle in such a case.
[0009] Also, the air-conditioner disclosed in Patent Literature 2 is configured such that
a cascade condenser (intermediate heat exchanger) of recovering exhaust heat of a
main cycle (air conditioning cycle) and an outdoor heat exchanger (air conditioning
heat source side heat exchanger) of the main cycle are arranged in parallel, and the
exhaust heat recovery operation can be carried out by delivering heat to a sub cycle
(hot-water supply cycle) by recovering exhaust heat of the main cycle by the cascade
condenser by simultaneously operating the cascade condenser and the outdoor heat exchanger.
[0010] It is necessary to recover a necessary heat amount of the exhaust heat of the main
cycle having a large heat amount by the cascade condenser and exhaust a superfluous
heat amount from the outdoor heat exchanger for the exhaust heat in order to recover
the exhaust heat of the main cycle which carries out the cooling operation by the
cascade condenser to utilize as the heat source of the sub cycle. That is, it is necessary
to preferably distribute a refrigerant which flows by including the heat of the main
cycle to the cascade condenser and the outdoor heat exchanger (heat exchanger for
the exhaust heat).
[0011] However, Patent Literature 2 does not disclose a technology of preferably distributing
the refrigerant to the cascade condenser and the outdoor heat exchanger in the main
cycle.
[0012] An air conditioning and hot-water supply system according to the preamble of claim
1 and a method according to the preamble of claim 13 are disclosed in document
JP2005299935.
[0013] Hence, it is the problem of the present invention to provide an air conditioning
and hot-water supply system which can distribute a refrigerant in a cycle having a
large heat amount to a heat exchanger for recovering exhaust heat and a heat exchanger
for exhaust heat in the exhaust heat recovery operation and a control method of the
air conditioning and hot-water supply system.

[0014] In order to resolve the above-described problem, the present invention is an air
conditioning and hot-water supply system including an air conditioning refrigerant
circuit configuring an air conditioning cycle by circulating an air conditioning refrigerant,
a hot-water supply refrigerant circuit configuring a hot-water cycle by circulating
a hot-water supply refrigerant, and a control device, further including an intermediate
heat exchanger connected in parallel with an air conditioning heat source side heat
exchanger for exchanging heat between the air conditioning refrigerant and the atmosphere
in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, and connected in parallel with a hot-water
supply heat source side heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the hot-water supply
refrigerant and the atmosphere in the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit for exchanging
heat between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot-water supply refrigerant.
The air conditioning and hot-water supply system further includes air conditioning
refrigerant flow-in amount adjusting means for adjusting an amount of the air conditioning
refrigerant flowing into the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger or the
intermediate heat exchanger in a cooling operation by the air conditioning cycle,
and means for measuring a temperature of an air conditioning heat exchanger outlet
for measuring a temperature of an air conditioning heat exchanger outlet of one of
the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger and the intermediate heat exchanger
at which the amount of the air conditioning refrigerant flowing into the air conditioning
heat source side heat exchanger or the intermediate heat exchanger is adjusted in
the cooling operation, in which the control device calculates an air conditioning
heat radiating amount in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, a hot-water supply
heat absorbing amount in the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit, a target condensation
temperature at the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, and a target evaporation
temperature at the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit in a case where the cooling
operation by the air conditioning cycle and a hot-water supply operation by the hot-water
cycle are simultaneously executed, and when the air conditioning heat radiating heat
amount is larger than the hot-water heat absorbing heat amount, the hot-water supply
refrigerant is blocked from flowing into the hot-water supply heat source side heat
exchanger by hot-water supply refrigerant blocking means, and the amount of the hot-water
supply refrigerant blocking means, and the amount of the air conditioning refrigerant

[0023] The air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 is a circuit which is configured with

heat between air conditioning cold/hot water that circulates in the air conditioning
cold/hot water circulating circuit 8, and the air conditioning refrigerant which circulates
in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 in a ring-like shape by a refrigerant
pipe.
[0024] In Fig. 1, it is configured that heat is exchanged between the air conditioning refrigerant
that circulates in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 and the air conditioning
cold/hot water that circulates in the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating
circuit 8, and heat is exchanged between the air conditioning cold/hot water and indoor
air of the residence 60 by the indoor heat exchanger 61. However, it may be configured
that the air conditioning cold/hot water circuit circulating circuit 8 is not included
and heat is exchanged directly between the air conditioning refrigerant and the indoor
air of the residence 60.
[0025] Explaining the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 further in details, the air
conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 is connected by a refrigerant pipe
to be in parallel with the intermediate heat exchanger 23 at a position between the
four-way valve 22 and the air conditioning expansion valve 27 of the air conditioning
refrigerant main circuit 5a, and an outlet and an inlet of the air conditioning heat
source side heat exchanger 24 are arranged with a first control valve 35c and a second

[0026] Notation 24a of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 designates
a cooling time air conditioning refrigerant inlet (first air conditioning refrigerant
inlet) which becomes an inlet of the air conditioning refrigerant in the cooling operation,
and notation 24b designates a cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet (first

[0027] The first control valve 35c which is included in the air conditioning and hot-water
supply system 100 according to the present embodiment on a side of the cooling time
air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a of the air conditioning heat source side heat
exchanger 24 is hereinafter referred to as the air conditioning flow rate adjusting
valve 35c since the first control valve 35c is used as air conditioning refrigerant
flow-in amount adjusting means which adjusts a flow-in amount of the air conditioning
refrigerant to the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 as described
later.
[0028] Incidentally, the outlet and the inlet of the air conditioning refrigerant of the
air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 are reversed in the heating operation
of the air conditioning cycle.
[0029] Specifically, the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet 20b becomes the
inlet of the air conditioning refrigerant and the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant
inlet 24a becomes the outlet of the air conditioning refrigerant in the heating operation
of the air conditioning cycle.
[0030] A refrigerant which is suitable for a condition of use is used from R410a, R134a,
HFO1234yf, HFO1234ze, CO
2, and propane for the air conditioning refrigerant that circulates in the air conditioning
refrigerant circuit 5.
[0031] Next, an explanation will be given of respective devices included in the air conditioning
refrigerant circuit 5 mentioned above.
[0032] The air conditioning compressor 21 is preferably a compressor of a variable delivery
type which can control delivery. A piston type, a rotary type, a scroll type, a screw
type, or a centrifugal type one can be adopted as such a compressor. According to
the embodiment, the air conditioning compressor 21 is made to be a scroll type compressor,
a delivery thereof can be controlled by an inverter control, and a rotational speed
thereof is made variable from a low speed to a high speed.
[0033] As the air conditioning utilizing side heat exchanger 28, a heat exchanger which

an antifreezing fluid of water or brine (heat carrying medium on the air conditioning
utilizing side) flows are thermally brought into contact with each other, or a plate
type heat exchanger can be utilized.
[0034] The air conditioning refrigerant tank 26 is made to function as a fluid receiver

prescribed pressure by adjusting a valve opening degree.
[0036] The air conditioning cold/hot water circulating circuit 8 is a circuit in which water

This is a circuit configured in a ring-like shape by connecting a four-way valve 53,

water or hot water) which flows in the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating
circuit 8 cools or heats inside of the residence 60 by exchanging heat with indoor
air of the residence 60 via the indoor heat exchanger 61. Here, brine of ethylene
glycol or the like may be used in place of water as a heat carrying medium on an air
conditioning utilizing side which flows in the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating
circuit 8. When brine is used, the brine is applicable also at a cold district.
[0037] A phrase of "cold water" or "hot water" is used as water which flows in the air conditioning
cold/hot water circulating circuit 8 in the following explanation. "Cold water" indicates
water which flows in the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating circuit 8 in
cooling operation, and "hot water" indicates water which flows in the air conditioning
cold/hot water circulating circuit 8 in heating operation.
[0038] The hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 is a circuit which is configured with
a refrigerant cycle (hot-water supply cycle) by circulating a hot-water supply refrigerant.
The circuit is configured to connect a hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger
44 which exhausts heat by exchanging heat between the atmosphere blown by a hot-water
supply outdoor fan 45 and the hot-water supply refrigerant to a hot-water supply main
circuit 6a which connects the hot-water supply compressor 41 that compresses the hot-water
supply refrigerant, a hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger 42 that exchanges
heat between water (hot-water supply) that flows in the hot-water supply flow path
9 and the hot-water supply refrigerant, a hot-water supply refrigerant tank 46 that
is made to function as a fluid receiver that adjusts an amount of the hot-water supply
refrigerant, a hot-water supply expansion valve 43 that reduces a pressure of the
hot-water supply refrigerant, and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 which exchanges
heat between the air conditioning refrigerant that circulates in the air conditioning
refrigerant circuit 5 and the hot-water supply refrigerant in a ring-like shape by
a refrigerant pipe.
[0039] Explaining the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 further in details, the hot-water
supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is connected to be in parallel with the
intermediate heat exchanger 23 by a refrigerant pipe at a position between the hot-water
supply expansion valve 43 and the hot-water supply compressor 41 of the hot-water
supply refrigerant main circuit 6a. An outlet and an inlet of the hot-water supply
heat source side heat exchanger 44 are respectively arranged with a third control
valve 49a and a fourth control valve 49c which respectively control a flow rate of
the hot-water supply refrigerant.
[0040] In the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44, notation 44a designates
a hot-water supply refrigerant inlet (first hot-water supply refrigerant inlet) and
notation 44b designates a hot-water supply refrigerant outlet (first hot-water supply
refrigerant outlet).
[0041] The third control valve 49a which is included on a side of the hot-water supply refrigerant
inlet 44a of the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is hereinafter
referred to as the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a since
the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a is used as hot-water
supply refrigerant flow-in amount adjusting means that adjusts a flow-in amount of
the hot-water supply refrigerant flowing to the hot-water supply heat source side
heat exchanger 44 in the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 according
to the present embodiment as described later.
[0042] A refrigerant which is suitable for a condition of use is used from R410a, R134a,
HFO1234yf, HFO1234ze, CO
2, and propane for the hot-water supply refrigerant which circulates in the hot-water
supply refrigerant circuit 6.
[0043] Next, an explanation will be given of respective devices included in the hot-water
supply refrigerant circuit 6 described above.
[0044] It is preferable for the hot-water supply compressor 41 that a delivery can be controlled
by an inverter control and a rotational speed is variable from a low speed to a high
speed similar to the air conditioning compressor 21.
[0045] The hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger 42 which is configured such that
s hot-water supply water heat transfer pipe in which water supplied to the hot-water
supply flow path 9 flows and a hot-water supply refrigerant heat transfer pipe in
which the hot-water supply refrigerant flows are thermally brought into contact with
each other can be utilized although not illustrated.
[0046] The hot-water supply expansion valve 43 can reduce a pressure of the hot-water supply
refrigerant to a prescribed pressure by adjusting a valve opening degree.
[0047] An outlet and an inlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 43 of the air conditioning
refrigerant circuit 5 respectively include opening/closing valves 35a and 35b.
[0048] Notation 23a of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 designates a cooling time air
conditioning refrigerant inlet (second air conditioning refrigerant inlet) which becomes
an inlet of the air conditioning air refrigerant in cooling operation, and notation
23b designates a cooling time air conditioning outlet (second air conditioning refrigerant

[0049] An opening/closing valve 49b is arranged at a hot-water supply refrigerant inlet
(second hot-water supply refrigerant inlet) 23c which becomes an inlet of the hot-water
supply refrigerant in hot-water supply operation, and an opening/closing valve 49d
is arranged at a hot-water supply refrigerant outlet (second hot-water supply refrigerant
outlet) 23d which becomes an outlet of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the intermediate
heat exchanger 23.
[0050] Incidentally, the outlet and the inlet of the air conditioning refrigerant are reversed
in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 in heating operation in the air conditioning
cycle.
[0051] Specifically, the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet 23b becomes an
inlet of the air conditioning refrigerant, and the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant
inlet 23a becomes an outlet of the air conditioning refrigerant in the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 in the heating operation of the air conditioning cycle.
[0052] There is a case where a flow path resistance of the air conditioning refrigerant
flow path of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is larger than a flow path resistance
of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 since it is preferable
to construct a flow path structure and a path configuration such that the hot-water
supply refrigerant which circulates in the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6
can efficiently absorb heat.
[0053] Similarly, there is a case where a flow path resistance of the hot-water supply refrigerant
flow path of the intermediate heat exchanger is larger than a flow path resistance
of the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 since it is preferable
to construct a flow path structure and a path configuration such that the air conditioning
refrigerant which circulates in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 can efficiently
radiate heat.
[0054] Therefore, the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 and the hot-water
supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 are constructed by a configuration in which
the refrigerants (air conditioning refrigerant, hot-water supply refrigerant) flow
more easily than in the intermediate heat exchanger 23.

by exchanging heat with the hot-water supply refrigerant at the hot-water supply utilizing
side heat exchanger 42, becomes hot water, and thereafter, is stored at the hot-water
supply tank 70.
[0056] Hot water stored at the hot-water supply tank 70 is supplied from the hot-water outlet
79 to a hot-water supply load side (bathtub, lavatory, kitchen etc.). A drain pipe
71a and a drain valve 71b are installed at a bottom portion of the hot-water supply

valve opening degree detecting sensors PA and PH. The control device 1a executes a
control which is necessary for operating the air conditioning and hot-water supply
system 100 of operation and stop of the air conditioning compressor 21 and the hot-water
supply compressor 41, switching of the four-way valves 22 and 53, setting of valve
opening degrees of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 and the hot-water supply
expansion valve 43, setting of valve opening degrees of the air conditioning refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 35c, the second control valve 35d, the hot-water supply
refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a, and the fourth control valve 49c, driving
and stop of the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating pump 52, opening and closing
of the opening/closing valves 35a, 35b, 49b, 49d, 54a, and 54b and the like based
on the input signals.
[0069] For example, the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 according to the
present embodiment can carry out "exhaust heat recovery operation" which carries out
cooling operation in the air conditioning cycle and hot-water supply operation in
the hot-water supply cycle while exchanging heat between the air conditioning refrigerant
which flows through the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 and the hot-water supply
refrigerant which flows through the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 via the
intermediate heat exchanger 23 .
[0070] Basically, the air conditioning and hot-water supply system is set to "first operation
state" shown in Fig. 2 in the exhaust recovery operation. That is, the hot-water supply
compressor 41 is operated, the hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger 42 is
used as a condenser, the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is not
used, and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is used as an evaporator in the hot-water
supply cycle. On the other hand, the air conditioning compressor 21 is operated, the
air conditioning utilizing side heat exchanger 28 is used as the evaporator, the air
conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 is not used, and the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 is used as a condenser in the air conditioning cycle.
[0071] An explanation will be given of flows of refrigerants (air conditioning refrigerant,
hot-water supply refrigerant) and a flow of water (heat carrying medium) which flows
through the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating circuit 8 in the exhaust heat
recovery operation in reference to Figs. 3 through 5.
[0072] In Figs. 3 through 5, bold arrow marks attached to the heat exchangers (intermediate
heat exchanger 23, air conditioning utilizing side heat exchanger 28 , air conditioning
heat source side heat exchanger 24, hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger
42, hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44) show flows of heat. Arrow
marks attached to the respective circuits (air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5,
hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6, air conditioning cold/hot water circulating
circuit 8, hot-water supply flow path 9) show directions in which the refrigerants
(air conditioning refrigerants, hot-water supply refrigerant) or fluids (water, hot
water) flow through the respective circuits. Opening/closing valves (35a, 35b, 49b,
49d) of white color and the flow rate control valves (air conditioning refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 35c, second control valve 35d, hot-water supply refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 49a, fourth control valve 49c) of white color show states
of opening the valves, and the opening/closing valves of black color and the flow
rate control valves of black color show states of closing the valves. Circular arcs
indicated by bold lines show flow paths of the refrigerants and the fluids in the
four-way valves (22, 53). In a case where the outdoor fans (air conditioning outdoor
fan 25, hot-water supply outdoor fan 45) are in white color, the case shows that the
outdoor fans are operating, and in a case where the outdoor fans are in black color,
the case shows that the outdoor fans are stopping. The heat exchangers (intermediate
heat exchanger 23, air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24, hot-water
supply heat source side heat exchanger 44) indicated by broken lines show the heat
exchangers which are not used, that is, the heat exchangers through which the refrigerants
do not flow, and the heat exchangers indicated by bold lines show the heat exchangers
which are used, that is, the heat exchangers through which the refrigerants flow.
[0073] When the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 is made to carry out exhaust
heat recovery operation, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning and hot-water
supply system 100 to "first operation state" as shown in Fig. 3. That is, the control
device system 1a switches the four-way valve 22 such that the high temperature and
high pressure gas refrigerant delivered from the delivery port 21b of the air conditioning
compressor 21 flows into the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and the air conditioning
refrigerant which flows through the air conditioning utilizing side heat exchanger
28 flows into the suction port 21a of the air conditioning compressor 21.
[0074] The control device 1a closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting
valve 35c and the second control valve 35d and stops the air conditioning outdoor
fan 25, and closes the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a
and the fourth control valve 49c and stops the hot-water supply outdoor fan 45.
[0075] According to the present embodiment, the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting
valve 35c is made to function as means for blocking the air conditioning refrigerant
from the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 since the air conditioning
refrigerant is blocked from flowing to the air conditioning heat source side heat
exchanger 24 by closing the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve
35c. Incidentally, the air conditioning refrigerant blocking means may be configured
to install a blocking valve, not illustrated, at the cooling time air conditioning
refrigerant inlet 24a, other than the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting
valve 34c.
[0076] Similarly, according to the present embodiment, the hot-water supply refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 49a is made to function as means for blocking the hot-water
supply refrigerant from the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 since
the hot-water supply refrigerant is blocked from flowing into the hot-water supply
heat source side heat exchanger 44 by closing the hot-water supply refrigerant flow
rate adjusting valve 49a. Incidentally, the hot-water supply refrigerant blocking
means may be configured to install a blocking valve, not illustrated, at the hot-water
supply refrigerant inlet 44a other than the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate
adjusting valve 49a.
[0077] The control device 1a opens the opening/closing valves 35a, 35b, 49b, and 49d.
[0078] Incidentally, although the control device 1a opens the air conditioning refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 35c and the second control valve 35d and operates the air
conditioning outdoor fan 25, and opens the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate
adjusting valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c and operates the hot-water supply
outdoor fan 45 as necessary, details thereof will be described later.
[0079] The high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant delivered from the air conditioning
compressor 21 flows into the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and is condensed to liquefy
by radiating heat to the low temperature hot-water supply refrigerant. The high pressure
liquid refrigerant is expanded by reducing the pressure by the air conditioning expansion
valve 27 which is opened at a prescribed opening degree after flowing through the
air conditioning tank 26, becomes a low temperature and low pressure gas-liquid two-phase
refrigerant, and flows into the air conditioning utilizing side heat exchanger 28.
The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant which flows in the air conditioning utilizing
side heat exchanger 28 is evaporated into the low pressure gas refrigerant by absorbing
heat from cold water at a relatively high temperature which flows through the air
conditioning cold/hot water circulating circuit 8, and becomes a low pressure gas
refrigerant. The low pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 21a of the
air conditioning air compressor 21 via the four-way valve 22 and becomes the high
temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant by being compressed again by the air
conditioning compressor 21.
[0080] At the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating circuit 8, cold water which radiates
heat to the air conditioning refrigerant which flows through the air conditioning
utilizing side heat exchanger 28 flows through the air conditioning cold/hot water
pipe 55a by the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating pump 52, and flows into
the indoor heat exchanger 61. At the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat is exchanged between
cold water in the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating circuit 8 and indoor
high temperature air of the residence 60, and air of the residence 60 is cooled. That
is, the indoor portion of the residence 60 is cooled. At this occasion, cold water
which flows through the indoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs heat from air of the indoor
portion of the residence 60 to elevate temperature thereof. The elevated temperature
cold water flows through the air conditioning cold/hot water pipes 55b and 55c by
the air conditioning cold/hot water pump 52, and is cooled again by radiating heat
to the air conditioning refrigerant by the air conditioning utilizing side heat exchanger
28.
[0081] At the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6, a gas refrigerant which becomes the
high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant by being compressed by the hot-water
supply compressor 41 flows into the hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger
42. The high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant which flows in the hot-water
supply utilizing side heat exchanger 42 is condensed to liquefy by radiating heat
to water which flows in the hot-water supply flow path 9. The liquefied high pressure
liquid refrigerant becomes a low temperature and low pressure gas-liquid two-phase
refrigerant by being expanded by reducing a pressure thereof by the hot-water supply
expansion valve 43 which is opened at a prescribed opening degree after flowing through
the hot-water supply refrigerant tank 46. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant becomes
a low pressure gas refrigerant by being evaporated by absorbing heat from the high
temperature air conditioning refrigerant which flows through the intermediate heat
exchanger 23 while flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The low pressure
gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot-water supply compressor
41, and becomes a high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant by being compressed
again by the hot-water supply compressor 41.
[0082] At the hot-water supply flow path 9, water which flows into the water inlet 78 flows
into the hot-water supply pipe 72, and flows into the hot-water supply utilizing side
heat exchanger 42. The water becomes water at a high temperature (hot water) by absorbing
heat from the hot-water supply refrigerant which flows through the hot-water supply
refrigerant circuit 6 by the hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger 42. The
hot water is stored at the hot-water supply tank 70 by flowing through the hot-water
supply pipe 73, and is supplied from the hot-water outlet 79 in accordance with a
request of a user.
[0083] In this way, the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 is set to "first
operation state" in the exhaust heat recovery operation. The heat which is recovered
by the air conditioning refrigerant that flows through the air conditioning refrigerant
circuit 5 from the indoor portion of the residence 60 is absorbed by the hot-water
supply refrigerant that flows through the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 via
the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and thereafter, transferred to water that flows
through the hot-water supply pipe 72 via the hot-water supply utilizing side heat
exchanger 42. The heat which is recovered from the indoor portion of the residence
60 can be utilized as a source of heating water which flows through the hot-water
supply pipe 72.
[0084] However, the heat amount which is radiated at the intermediate heat exchanger 23
and the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 by the air conditioning
refrigerant which flows through the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 (hereinafter,
referred to as air conditioning heat radiating amount) is a heat amount which is recovered
by the indoor heat exchanger 61 from the indoor portion of the residence 60. Therefore,
the heat amount is determined by a temperature which is set by a user as the indoor
temperature of the residence 60 or the outdoor air temperature.
[0085] On the other hand, the heat amount which is needed for boiling water that flows through
the hot-water supply pipe 72 (hereinafter, referred to as hot-water supply heat absorbing
amount) is determined by a temperature set by a user as a temperature of hot water
stored in the hot-water supply tank 70 or a temperature of water supplied from the
water inlet 78. Therefore, there is a case where the air conditioning heat radiating
amount and the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount do not coincide with other.
[0086] For example, in a case where the air conditioning heat radiating amount is larger
than the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount (air conditioning heat generating
amount > hot-water supply heat absorbing amount) as in a case where a cooling load
is high in the air conditioning cycle, when all of the air conditioning refrigerant
which flows through the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 flows through the intermediate
heat exchanger 23, a heat amount which is supplied to water that flows through the
hot-water supply pipe 72 via the hot-water supply refrigerant that flows through the
hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 becomes excessive. Therefore, in a case where
the air conditioning heat radiating amount is larger than the hot-water supply heat
absorbing amount, it is in accordance with the invention to construct a configuration
in which the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 is controlled such that
the air conditioning refrigerant which flows through the air conditioning refrigerant
circuit 5 is distributed to the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the air conditioning
heat source side heat exchanger 24, and a heat amount which the air conditioning refrigerant
radiates at the intermediate heat exchanger 23 becomes equal to the hot-water heat
absorbing amount.
[0087] Hence, in a case where the air conditioning radiating heat amount is larger than
the hot-water absorbing heat amount when the exhaust heat recovery operation is carried
out, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100
to "second operation state" shown in Fig. 2 such that the air conditioning heat source
side heat exchanger 24 is used as a condenser.
[0088] Specifically, the control device 1a opens the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate
adjusting valve 35c and the second control valve 35d and operates the air conditioning
outdoor fan 25 as shown in Fig. 4. The control device 1a closes the hot-water supply
refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c and stops
the hot-water supply outdoor fan 45.
[0089] When the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 is set to "second operation
state", the high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant which is delivered
from the delivery port 21b of the air conditioning compressor 21 flows into the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 and the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 via
the four-way valve 22 in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5. The high temperature
and high pressure gas refrigerant which flows in the intermediate heat exchanger 23
is condensed to liquefy by radiating heat to the hot-water supply refrigerant in the
intermediate heat exchanger 23. On the other hand, the high temperature and high pressure
gas refrigerant which flows into the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger
24 is condensed to liquefy by radiating heat to the atmosphere. The high pressure
liquid refrigerant which has been liquefied in the intermediate heat exchanger 23
and the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 flows into the air conditioning
refrigerant tank 26, thereafter, reduces its pressure by the air conditioning expansion
valve 27 which is opened at a prescribed opening degree, expanded, becomes a low temperature
and low pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, and flows into the air conditioning
utilizing side heat exchanger 28. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant which flows
in the air conditioning utilizing side heat exchanger 28 is evaporated by absorbing
heat from cold water at a relatively high temperature which flows through the air
conditioning cold/hot water circulating circuit 8, and becomes the low pressure gas
refrigerant. The low pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 21a of the
air conditioning compressor 21 via the four-way valve 22, and becomes the high temperature
and high pressure gas refrigerant by being compressed again by the air conditioning
compressor 21.
[0090] On the other hand, in the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the high temperature
and high pressure gas refrigerant which is delivered from the delivery port 41b of
the hot-water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot-water supply utilizing side
heat exchanger 42. The high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant which flows
in the hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger 42 is condensed to liquefy by
radiating heat to water which flows in the hot-water supply flow path 9. The liquefied
high pressure liquid refrigerant flows into the hot-water supply refrigerant tank
46, thereafter, reduces its pressure by the hot-water supply expansion valve 43 which
is opened at a prescribed opening degree, expanded, and becomes a low temperature
and low pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant
is evaporated by absorbing heat from the high temperature air conditioning refrigerant
which flows in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 while flowing in the intermediate
heat exchanger 23, and becomes a low pressure gas refrigerant. The low pressure gas
refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot-water supply compressor 41,
and becomes the high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant by being compressed
again by the hot-water supply compressor 41.
[0091] In this way, in the case where the air conditioning heat radiating amount is larger
than the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount, when the exhaust heat recovery operation
is carried out, the control device 1a opens the air conditioning refrigerant flow
rate adjusting valve 35c and the second control valve 35d and operates the air conditioning
outdoor fan 25, and radiates a portion of the air conditioning heat radiating amount
to the atmosphere by the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24. Thereby,
it is avoided that a heat amount which is supplied to water that flows through the
hot-water supply pipe 72 becomes excessive.
[0092] Here, a condensation temperature "Tca" of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit
5 needs to be higher than an outdoor air temperature "Tao" since heat needs to be
radiated to outdoor air. On the other hand, the condensation temperature "Tca" of
the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 needs to be higher than an evaporation
temperature "Tee" of the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 since in the exhaust
heat recovery operation, heat is absorbed and radiated by exchanging heat by the hot-water
supply refrigerant which flows through the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6
and the air conditioning refrigerant which flows through the air conditioning refrigerant
circuit 5 in the intermediate heat exchanger 23. That is, in the exhaust heat recovery
operation, a heat radiating amount (air conditioning heat radiating amount) of the
air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 becomes deficient unless conditions of "Tca
> Tao" and "Tca > Tee" are satisfied at the air conditioning heat source side heat
exchanger 24 and the intermediate heat exchanger 23.
[0093] For example, there are pointed out a case where the heat radiating heat amount becomes
deficient at the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 since "Tca ≈
Tao" owing to "Tao << Tee", a case where heat absorbing and radiating amounts becomes
deficient at the intermediate heat exchanger 23 since "Tca ≈ Tee" owing to "Tao <<
Tee" etc.
[0094] At this occasion, radiating heat is deficient or heat cannot be radiated in the air
conditioning refrigerant, and the air conditioning refrigerant having a high dryness
flows out from the intermediate heat exchanger 23 or the air conditioning heat source
side heat exchanger 24. A specific weight of the air conditioning refrigerant having
the high dryness is large, and therefore, when the air conditioning refrigerant passes
to the air conditioning expansion valve 27, a flow speed of the air conditioning refrigerant
becomes extremely high. As a result thereof, there poses a problem that an operation
of a total of the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 is made to be unstable
by bringing about a phenomenon of blocking the flow by increasing a flow resistance.
[0095] Hence, in a case where the air conditioning heat radiating amount is larger than
the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount, the control device 1a adjusts a valve
opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c such
that the gas refrigerant flows through the air conditioning heat source side heat
exchanger 24 by a flow rate by which all of the high temperature and high pressure
gas refrigerant which flows into the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger
24 is liquefied.
[0096] The control device 1a adjusts the valve opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 35c based on a temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant
at the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24.
[0097] Specifically, the control device 1a adjusts the valve opening degree of the air conditioning
refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c such that a temperature (temperature of
air conditioning heat exchanger outlet) of the air conditioning refrigerant which
is to be calculated based on data that is received from the temperature sensor TH22
that is installed at the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 (vicinity
of cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b) becomes a previously calculated
condensation temperature (target condensation temperature) of the air conditioning
refrigerant circuit 5.
[0098] The occurrence of the phenomenon of blocking the flow can be prevented by the configuration
by preventing an increase in the flow resistance that is brought about by a deficiency
in the heat radiating amount of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger
24.
[0099] On the other hand, in a case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is
larger than the air conditioning heat radiating amount (hot-water supply heat absorbing
amount > air conditioning heat radiating amount), even when all of the air conditioning
refrigerant which flows through the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 flows to
the intermediate heat exchanger 23, a heat amount which is supplied to water that
flows through the hot-water supply pipe 72 via the hot-water supply refrigerant that
flows through the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 becomes deficient. Therefore,
in a case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is larger than the air
conditioning heat radiating amount, it is preferable to construct a configuration
in which the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 is controlled such that
all of the air conditioning refrigerant that flows through the air conditioning refrigerant
circuit 5 flows to the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and all of the heat amount
included in the air conditioning refrigerant is radiated by the intermediate heat
exchanger 23.
[0100] Therefore, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning and hot-water supply system
100 to "third operation state" shown in Fig. 2 such that the hot-water supply heat
source side heat exchanger 44 is used as the evaporator in a case where the hot-water
supply heat absorbing amount is larger than the air conditioning heat radiating amount.
[0101] Specifically, the control device 1a closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow
rate adjusting valve 35c and the second control valve 35d and stops the air conditioning
outdoor fan 25 as shown in Fig. 5. The control device 1a opens the hot-water supply
refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c and operates
the hot-water supply outdoor fan 45.
[0102] When the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 is set to "third operation
state" , the high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant which is delivered
from the delivery port 21b of the air conditioning compressor 21 flows into the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 via the four-way valve 22 in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit
5. The high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant which flows in the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 is condensed to liquefy by radiating heat to the hot-water supply
refrigerant in the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The high pressure liquid refrigerant
which is liquefied at the intermediate heat exchanger 23 flows into the air conditioning
refrigerant tank 26, thereafter, reduces its pressure by the air conditioning expansion
valve 27 that is opened at a prescribed opening degree, expanded, becomes a low temperature
and low pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, and flows into the air conditioning
utilizing side heat exchanger 28. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant which flows
in the air conditioning utilizing side heat exchanger 28 becomes a low pressure gas
refrigerant by being evaporated by absorbing heat from cold water at a relatively
high temperature which flows through the air conditioning cold/hot water circulating
circuit 8. The low pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 21a of the
air conditioning compressor 21 via the four-way valve 22, and becomes the high temperature
and high pressure gas refrigerant by being compressed again by the air conditioning
compressor 21.
[0103] On the other hand, the high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant which is
delivered from the delivery port 41b of the hot-water supply compressor 41 flows into
the hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger 42 in the hot-water supply refrigerant
circuit 6. The high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant which flows in the
hot-water supply utilizing side heat exchanger 42 is condensed to liquefy by radiating
heat to water which flows in the hot-water flow path 9. The liquefied high pressure
liquid refrigerant flows into the hot-water supply refrigerant tank 46, thereafter,
reduces its pressure by the hot-water supply expansion valve 43 which is opened at
a prescribed opening degree, expanded, and becomes the low temperature and low pressure
gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. A portion of the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant
is evaporated by absorbing heat from the high temperature air conditioning refrigerant
which flows in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 while flowing in the intermediate
heat exchanger 23, and becomes a low pressure gas refrigerant. The low pressure gas
refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot-water supply compressor 41,
and becomes the high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant by being compressed
again by the hot-water supply compressor 41.
[0104] The low temperature and low pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant which reduces
its pressure by the hot-water supply expansion valve 43, is expanded, and does not
flow into the intermediate heat exchanger 23 flows into the hot-water supply heat
source side heat exchanger 44, is evaporated by absorbing heat from the atmosphere
at a relatively high temperature that is blown by the hot-water supply outdoor fan
45, becomes the low pressure gas refrigerant, flows into the suction port 41a of the
hot-water supply compressor 41, and becomes the high temperature and high pressure
gas refrigerant by being compressed again by the hot-water supply compressor 41.
[0105] In this way, in the case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is larger
than the air conditioning heat radiating amount, a portion of the hot-water supply
refrigerant which flows through the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit 6 is evaporated
by absorbing heat at the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. As described
above, the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is configured such
that the hot-water supply refrigerant flows more easily than in the intermediate heat
exchanger 23. Therefore, a large amount of the hot-water supply refrigerant flows
into the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. An amount of heat exchanged
between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot-water supply refrigerant at the
intermediate heat exchanger 23 becomes smaller than a desired heat amount.
[0106] Hence, in the case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is larger than
the air conditioning heat radiating amount, the control device 1a adjusts the valve
opening degree of the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a such
that the gas refrigerant flows through the hot-water supply heat source side heat
exchanger 44 by a flow rate by which all of the high temperature and high pressure
gas refrigerant which flows into the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger
44 is evaporated.
[0107] The control device 1a adjusts the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 49a based on a temperature of the hot-water supply refrigerant
in the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44.
[0108] Specifically, the control device 1a adjusts the valve opening degree of the hot-water
supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a such that a temperature (hot-water
supply heat exchanger outlet temperature) of the hot-water supply refrigerant which
is to be calculated based on data received from the temperature sensor TH23 that is
included in the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 becomes an evaporation
temperature (target evaporation temperature) at the hot-water supply refrigerant circuit
6 which is previously calculated.
[0109] A desired heat amount can be exchanged between the air conditioning refrigerant and
the hot-water supply refrigerant at the intermediate heat exchanger 23.
[0110] An explanation will be given of a procedure when the control device 1a makes the
air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 carry out the exhaust the heat recovery
operation in reference to Fig. 6 (pertinently in reference to Figs. 1 through 5).
[0111] The control device 1a is configured to start the exhaust heat recovery operation
of the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 when for example, the control
device 1a receives an instruction signal from a remote controller (not illustrated)
operated by a user. For example, when a user enters the indoor portion of the residence
60 and starts cooling operation (cooling operation of air conditioning cycle) of an
air conditioner, not illustrated, by operating a remote controller, the control device
1a is configured to start the exhaust heat recovery operation when hot-water supply
operation is carried out by the hot-water supply cycle.
[0112] Or, when the hot-water supply operation by the hot-water supply cycle is started
by an operation of a user in a case where the cooling operation is carried out by
the air conditioning cycle, the control device 1a is configured to start the exhaust
heat recovery operation.
[0113] Otherwise, for example, there may be constructed a configuration in which the control
device 1a automatically starts the exhaust heat recovery operation of the air conditioning
and hot-water supply system 100 at previously set prescribed time based on a previously
built-in operation program.
[0114] When the exhaust heat recovery operation is started, the control device 1a closes
the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c, the second control
valve 35d, the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a, and the
fourth control valve 49c (step S1), thereafter, carries out various data receiving
processing (step S2). Specifically, the control device 1a receives data indicating
a target hot water temperature (boiling temperature), a target hot water amount (flow
rate), and a water temperature (water supply temperature) of water supplied from the
water inlet 78 in the hot-water supply cycle. The control device 1a receives data
indicating a target temperature (set room temperature), a target wind amount, and
an indoor temperature in the air conditioning cycle.
[0115] The data indicating the target hot water temperature and the target hot water amount
of the hot-water supply cycle is data inputted to the control device 1a from a remote
controller (not illustrated) operated by a user, and the data indicating the water
supply temperature is data inputted from the temperature sensor TH1.
[0116] The data indicating the target temperature and the target wind amount of the air
conditioning cycle is data inputted from the remote controller operated by the user
to the control device 1a, and the data indicating the indoor temperature is data inputted
from the temperature sensor TH20.
[0117] The control device 1a executes a calculating processing based on the various data
received at step S2 (step S3). Specifically, the control device 1a calculates a target
hot-water supply capability "Qh", a target rotational speed of the hot-water supply
compressor 41, a target delivery temperature "Td" of the hot-water supply compressor
41, and an input "Whcomp" of the hot-water supply compressor 41 in the hot-water supply
cycle.
[0118] The control device 1a calculates a target air conditioning capability "Qh", a target
rotational speed of the air conditioning compressor 21, a target evaporation temperature
"Te" of the air conditioning refrigerant, and an input "Wccomp" of the air conditioning
compressor 41 in the air conditioning cycle.
[0119] The control device 1a calculates the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount from
a difference between the target hot-water supply capability "Qh" and the input "Wccomp"
of the hot-water supply compressor 41 of the hot-water supply cycle, and calculates
the air conditioning heat radiating amount from a sum of the target air conditioning
capability "Qc" and the input "Wccomp" of the air conditioning compressor 21 of the
air conditioning cycle (step S4).
[0120] The control device 1a compares the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount and the
air conditioning heat radiating amount calculated at step S4 (step S5), and determines
whether the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating
amount are equal. The control device 1a determines that the hot-water supply heat
absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating amount are equal, when a
difference between the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning
heat radiating amount falls within a previously set range at step S5.
[0121] When the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating
amount are equal (step S5 → Yes), the control device 1a sets the air conditioning
and hot-water supply system 100 to "first operation state", and executes the exhaust
heat recovery operation (step S6).
[0122] That is, "first operation state" according to the present embodiment is a state of
the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 when the exhaust heat recovery
operation is carried out in a case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount
and the air conditioning heat radiating amount are equal.
[0123] An explanation will be given of a procedure that the control device 1a carries out
the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning and hot-water
supply system 100 to "first operation state" in reference to Fig. 7.
[0124] The control device 1a opens all of the opening/closing valves 35a, 35b, 49b, and
49d which are arranged at outputs and inputs of the intermediate heat exchanger 23
(cooling time air conditioning refrigerant inlet 23a, cooling time air conditioning
refrigerant outlet 23b, hot-water supply refrigerant inlet 23c, hot-water refrigerant
output 23d) of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 (step 5601). The control device
1a closes the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a and the fourth
control valve 49c arranged at the outlet and the inlet of the hot-water supply heat
source side heat exchanger 44 (hot-water supply refrigerant inlet 44a, hot-water supply
refrigerant outlet 44b) and stops the hot-water supply outdoor fan 45 (step S602).
The control device 1a closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting
valve 35c and the second control valve 35d arranged at the outlet and the inlet of
the air conditioning heat source heat exchanger 24 (cooling time air conditioning
refrigerant inlet 24a, cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b) and stops
the air conditioning outdoor fan 25 (step 5603).
[0125] That is, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning and hot-water supply system
100 to carry out the cooling operation and the hot-water supply operation by using
only the intermediate heat exchanger 23 as shown in Fig. 3 since the hot-water supply
heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating amount are equal.
[0126] The control device 1a operates the hot-water supply cycle and the air conditioning
cycle in accordance with a result of the calculation at step S3 of Fig. 6. Specifically,
the control device 1a operates the hot-water supply compressor 41 at the target rotational
speed calculated at step S3 of Fig. 6 in the hot-water supply cycle, and sets the
valve opening degree of the hot-water supply expansion valve 43 such that the delivery
temperature of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the hot-water supply cycle becomes
the target delivery temperature "Td" (step 5604).
[0127] For example, there may be constructed a configuration in which a map showing a relationship
between the target delivery temperature and the valve opening degree of the hot-water
supply expansion valve 43 is previously determined, and the control device 1a sets
the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply expansion valve 43 by referring to
the map based on the calculated target delivery temperature "Td".
[0128] The control device 1a operates the air conditioning compressor 21 at the target rotational
speed calculated at step S3 of Fig. 6, sets the valve opening degree of the air conditioning
expansion valve 27 such that the evaporation temperature of the air conditioning refrigerator
in the air conditioning cycle becomes the target evaporation temperature "Te" (step
S605), and the operation returns.
[0129] For example, there may be constructed a configuration in which a map showing a relationship
between the target evaporation temperature and the valve opening degree of the air
conditioning expansion valve 27 is previously determined, and the control device 1a
sets the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 by referring
to the map based on the calculated target evaporation temperature "Te".
[0130] In this way, the control device 1a carries out the exhaust heat recovery operation
by setting the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 to "first operation
state" in a case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning
heat radiating amount are equal.
[0131] When the operation returns from the procedure of carrying out the exhaust heat recovery
operation by setting the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 to "first
operation state" as shown in the flowchart of Fig. 7, the control device 1a returns
the procedure to step S2 of Fig. 6 (step S6 → step S2), and continues the exhaust
heat recovery operation.
[0132] The explanation will be returned to step S5 of Fig. 6. When the hot-water supply
heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating amount are not equal
(step S5 → No), the control device 1a compares magnitudes of the hot-water supply
heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating amount (step S7), sets
the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 to "second operation state) "
when the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is less than the air conditioning
heat radiating amount (step S7 → Yes), and executes the exhaust heat recovery operation
(step S8).
[0133] That is, the "second operation state" is a state of the air conditioning and hot-water
supply system 100 when the exhaust heat recovery operation is carried out in a case
where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is less than the air conditioning
heat radiating amount.
[0134] An explanation will be given of a procedure in which the control device 1a carries
out the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning and hot-water
supply system 100 to "second operation state" in reference to Fig. 8.
[0135] The control device 1a opens all of the opening/closing valves 35a, 35b, 49b, and
49d which are arranged at outlets and inlets (cooling time air conditioning refrigerant
inlet 23a, cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet 23b, hot-water supply
refrigerant inlet 23c, hot-water supply refrigerant outlet 23d) of the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 (step S801). The control device 1a closes the hot-water supply refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c which are arranged
at the outlet and the inlet (hot-water supply refrigerant inlet 44a, hot-water supply
refrigerant outlet 44b) of the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44,
and stops the hot-water supply outdoor fan 45 (step S802). The control device 1a opens
the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c and the second control
valve 35d which are arranged at the outlet and the inlet (cooling time air conditioning
refrigerant inlet 24a, cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b) of the
air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 (step 5803).
[0136] That is, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning and hot-water supply system
100 such that the cooling operation and the hot-water supply operation are carried
out while radiating the heat amount in correspondence with a difference between the
air conditioning heat radiating amount and the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount
to the atmosphere by the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 as shown
in Fig. 4 since the air conditioning radiating heat amount is larger than the hot-water
supply absorbing heat amount.
[0137] Thereafter, the control device 1a carries out the receiving processing of respective
data (step S804). Specifically, the control device 1a receives data of the hot-water
supply heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating amount which
are calculated at step S4 of Fig. 6, and data indicating the outdoor air temperature
inputted from the temperature sensor TH19. The control device 1a calculates the target
evaporation temperature "Te" of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the hot-water
supply cycle, and the target condensation temperature "Tc" of the air conditioning
refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle based on the received respective data (step
S805).
[0138] The control device 1a operates the hot-water supply cycle and the air conditioning
cycle in accordance with a result of the calculation at step S805.
[0139] Specifically, the control device 1a operates the hot-water supply compressor 41 at
the target rotational speed in the hot-water supply cycle, and sets the valve opening
degree of the hot-water supply expansion valve 43 such that the evaporation temperature
of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the hot-water supply cycle becomes the target
evaporation temperature "Te".
[0140] The control device 1a operates the air conditioning compressor 21 at the target rotational
speed in the air conditioning cycle, sets the rotational speed of the air conditioning
outdoor fan 25, and sets the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion
valve 27 such that the condensation temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant
becomes the target condensation temperature "Tc" in the air conditioning cycle (step
5806).
[0141] For example, there may be constructed a configuration in which a map showing a relationship
between the target evaporation temperature and the valve opening degree of the hot-water
supply expansion valve 43 is previously determined, and the control device 1a sets
the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply expansion valve 43 by referring to
the map based on the calculated target evaporation temperature "Te".
[0142] There may be constructed a configuration in which a map showing a relationship among
the target condensation temperature, the valve opening degree of the air conditioning
expansion valve 27, and the rotational speed of the air conditioning outdoor fan 25
is previously determined, and the control device 1a sets the rotational speed of the
air conditioning outdoor fan 25 and the valve opening degree of the air conditioning
expansion valve 27 by referring to the map based on the calculated target condensation
temperature "Tc".
[0143] The control device 1a calculates the temperature of the air conditioning heat exchanger
outlet of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 based on data which
is received from the temperature sensor TH22 (step 5807).
[0144] The control device 1a sets the valve opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 35c such that the temperature of the air conditioning heat
exchanger outlet of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 becomes
the calculated target condensation temperature "Tc" (step S808). In this way, the
control device 1a adjusts an amount of the air conditioning refrigerant which flows
into the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 by setting the valve
opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c.
[0145] The control device 1a determines whether the evaporation temperature of the hot-water
supply refrigerant in the hot-water supply cycle becomes the target evaporation temperature
"Te" (step S809). In a case where the evaporation temperature of the hot-water supply
refrigerant in the hot-water supply cycle becomes "Te" (step S809 → Yes), the control
device 1a determines whether the condensation temperature of the air conditioning
refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle becomes the target condensation temperature
"Tc" (step S810). In a case where the condensation temperature of the air conditioning
refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle becomes the target condensation temperature
"Tc" (step S810 → Yes), when the operation of the hot-water supply cycle achieves
the target hot-water supply capability "Qh" and the operation of the air conditioning
cycle achieves the target air conditioning capability "Qc" (step S811 → Yes), the
control device 1a finishes the procedure of carrying out the exhaust heat recovery
operation in the second operation state and the operation returns. However, when the
operation of the hot-water supply cycle does not achieve the target hot-water supply
capability "Qh" or the operation of the air conditioning cycle does not achieve the
target air conditioning capability "Qc" (step S811 → No), the control device 1a returns
the procedure to step S806.
[0146] In a case where the condensation temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant
in the air conditioning cycle does not become the target condensation temperature
"Tc" (step S810 → No), the control device 1a sets the valve opening degrees of the
air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c and the second control
valve 35d (step 812), and returns the procedure to step S806. Specifically, the control
device 1a closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c and
the second control valve 35d by small amounts at step S812. The control device 1a
returns the procedure to step 806, and executes the following procedure.
[0147] On the other hand, in a case where the evaporation temperature of the hot-water refrigerant
in the hot-water supply cycle does not become the target evaporation temperature "Te"
(step S809 → No), the control device 1a returns the procedure to step S806, and adjusts
the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply expansion valve 43 such that the
evaporation temperature of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the hot-water supply
cycle becomes the target evaporation temperature "Te".
[0148] As shown in the flowchart of Fig. 8, when the control device 1a returns from the
procedure of carrying out the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning
and hot-water supply system 100 to "second operation state", the control device 1a
returns the procedure to step S2 of Fig. 6 (step S8 → step S2), and continues the
exhaust heat recovery operation.
[0149] In a case where the air conditioning heat radiating amount is larger than the hot-water
supply heat absorbing amount in this way, the control device 1a carries out the exhaust
heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning and hot-water supply system
100 to "second operation state".
[0150] In this case, the control device 1a adjusts the valve opening degree of the air conditioning
refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c such that the temperature of the air conditioning
heat exchanger outlet at the vicinity of the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant
outlet 24b of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 becomes the
calculated condensation temperature (target condensation temperature "Tc"). An increase
in the flow resistance which is brought about by a deficiency in a heat radiating
amount of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 can be prevented
and an occurrence of a phenomenon of blocking the flow can be prevented by the configuration.
[0151] The explanation will be returned to step S7 of Fig. 6. When the hot-water supply
heat absorbing amount is larger than the air conditioning heat radiating amount (step
S7 → No), the control device 1a executes the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting
the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 to "third operation state" (step
S9). That is, the "third operation state" is a state of the air conditioning and hot-water
supply system 100 when the exhaust heat recovery operation is carried out in the case
where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is larger than the air conditioning
heat radiating amount.
[0152] An explanation will be given of a procedure in which the control device 1a carries
out the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning and hot-water
supply system 100 to "third operation state" in reference to Fig. 9.
[0153] The control device 1a opens all of the opening/closing valves 35a, 35b, 49b, and
49d which are arranged at the outlets and the inlets (cooling time air conditioning
refrigerant inlet 23a, cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet 23b, hot-water
supply refrigerant inlet 23c, and hot-water supply refrigerant outlet 23d of the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 (step S901). The control device 1a opens the hot-water supply refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c which are arranged
at the outlet and the inlet (hot-water supply refrigerant inlet 44a, hot-water supply
refrigerant outlet 44b) of the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44
(step S902). The control device 1a closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate
adjusting valve 35c and the second control valve 35d which are arranged at the outlet
and the inlet (cooling time air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a, cooling time air
conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b of the air conditioning heat source side heat
exchanger 24 and stops the air conditioning outdoor fan 25 (step S903).
[0154] That is, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning and hot-water supply system
100 such that the cooling operation and the hot-water supply operation are carried
out while absorbing a heat amount in correspondence with a difference between the
hot-water supply heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating amount
from the atmosphere at the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 as
shown in Fig. 5 since the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is larger than the
air conditioning heat radiating amount.
[0155] Thereafter, the control device 1a carries out a processing of receiving respective
data (step S904). Specifically, the control device 1a receives data of the hot-water
supply heat absorbing amount and the air conditioning heat radiating amount which
are calculated at step S4 of Fig. 6, and data indicating an outdoor air temperature
inputted from the temperature sensor TH19. The control device 1a calculates the target
evaporation temperature "Te" of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the hot-water
supply refrigerant cycle and the target condensation temperature "Tc" of the air conditioning
refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle based on the received respective data (step
S905).
[0156] The control device 1a operates the hot-water supply cycle and the air conditioning
cycle in accordance with a result of the calculation at step S905.
[0157] Specifically, the control device 1a operates the air conditioning compressor 21 at
the target rotational speed in the air conditioning cycle, and sets the valve opening
degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 such that the condensation temperature
of the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle becomes the target
condensation temperature "Tc".
[0158] The control device 1a operates the hot-water supply compressor 41 at the target rotational
speed in the hot-water supply cycle, sets the rotational speed of the hot-water supply
outdoor fan 45 such that the evaporation temperature of the hot-water supply refrigerant
in the hot-water supply cycle becomes the target evaporation temperature "Te" , and
sets the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply expansion valve 43 (step S906).
[0159] For example, there may be constructed a configuration in which a map showing a relationship
between the target condensation temperature and the valve opening degree of the air
conditioning expansion valve 27 is previously determined, and the control device 1a
sets the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 by referring
to the map based on the calculated condensation temperature "Tc".
[0160] There may be constructed a configuration in which a map showing a relationship among
the target evaporation temperature, the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply
expansion valve 43, and the rotational speed of the hot-water supply outdoor fan 45
is previously determined, and the control device 1a sets the rotational speed of the
hot-water supply outdoor fan 45 and the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply
expansion valve 43 by referring to the map based on the calculated evaporation temperature
"Te".
[0161] The control device 1a calculates the temperature of the hot-water supply heat exchanger
outlet of the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 based on data received
from the temperature sensor TH23 (step 5907).
[0162] The control device 1a sets the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply refrigerant
flow rate adjusting valve 49a such that the temperature of the hot-water supply heat
exchanger outlet of the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 becomes
the calculated target evaporation temperature "Te" (step S908). In this way, the control
device 1a adjusts an amount of the hot-water supply refrigerant flowing into the hot-water
supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 by setting the valve opening degree of the
hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a.
[0163] The control device 1a determines whether the condensation temperature of the air
conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle becomes the target condensation
temperature "Tc" (step S909). In a case where the condensation temperature of the
air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle becomes the target condensation
temperature "Tc" (step S909 → Yes), the control device 1a determines whether the evaporation
temperature of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the hot-water supply cycle becomes
the target evaporation temperature "Te" (step S910). In a case where the evaporation
temperature of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the hot-water supply cycle becomes
the target evaporation temperature "Te" (step S910 → Yes), when the operation of the
hot-water supply cycle achieves the target hot-water supply capability "Qh" , and
the operation of the air conditioning cycle achieves the target air conditioning capability
"Qc" (step S911 → Yes), the control device 1a finishes the procedure of carrying out
the exhaust heat recovery operation in the third operation state and the operation
returns. However, when the operation of the hot-water cycle does not achieve the target
hot-water supply capability "Qh" or the operation of the air conditioning cycle does
not achieve the target air conditioning capability "Qc" (step S911 → No), the control
device 1a returns the procedure to step S906.
[0164] In a case where the evaporation temperature of the hot-water supply refrigerant in
the hot-water supply cycle does not become the target evaporation temperature "Te"
(step S910 → No), the control device 1a sets the valve opening degrees of the hot-water
supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c
(step S912), and returns the procedure to step S906. Specifically, the control device
1a closes the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a and the fourth
control valve 49c by small amounts at step S912. The control device 1a returns the
procedure to step S906, and executes the following procedure.
[0165] When the control device 1a returns from the procedure of setting the air conditioning
and hot-water supply system 100 to "third operation state" and carrying out the exhaust
heat recovery operation as shown in the flowchart of Fig. 9, the control device 1a
returns the procedure to step S2 of Fig. 6 (step S9 → step S2), and continues the
exhaust heat recovery operation.
[0166] On the other hand, in a case where the target condensation temperature "Tc" is not
achieved in the air conditioning cycle (step S909 → No), the control device 1a returns
the procedure to step S906, and adjusts the valve opening degree of the air conditioning
expansion valve 27 such that the target condensation temperature "Tc" is achieved.
[0167] In a case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is larger than the air
conditioning heat radiating amount in this way, the control device 1a carries out
the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning and hot-water
supply system 100 to "third operation state".
[0168] In this case, the control device 1a adjusts the valve opening degree of the hot-water
supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a such that the temperature at a vicinity
of the hot-water supply refrigerant outlet 44b of the hot-water supply heat source
side heat exchanger 44 becomes the previously calculated evaporation temperature (target
evaporation temperature). All of the hot-water supply refrigerant can be evaporated
at the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the hot-water supply heat source side heat
exchanger 44 by the configuration, and a desired heat amount can be exchanged between
the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant at the intermediate
heat exchanger 23.
[0169] As described above, in the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 according
to the present embodiment, the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve
35c is arranged on a side of the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a
of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 which is arranged in parallel
with the intermediate heat exchanger 23. In a case where the exhaust heat recovery
operation is carried out in the cooling operation, the control device 1a sets the
valve opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve
35c in accordance with the temperature of the air conditioning heat exchanger outlet
at the vicinity of the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b of the
air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24.
[0170] The flow rate of the air conditioning refrigerant which flows in the air conditioning
heat source side heat exchanger 24 can be adjusted when the exhaust heat recovery
operation is carried out in the case where the air conditioning heat radiating amount
is larger than the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount by the configuration. The
air conditioning refrigerant can sufficiently be cooled at the air conditioning heat
source side heat exchanger 24, and all of the air conditioning refrigerant which flows
in the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 can be condensed. In other
words, an excessive increase in the flow resistance which is brought about by a deficiency
in the heat radiating amount of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger
24 can be prevented, and the occurrence of the phenomenon of blocking the flow can
be prevented.
[0171] On the other hand, when the exhaust heat recovery operation is carried out in the
case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is larger than the air conditioning
heat radiating amount, the control device 1a makes the hot-water supply refrigerant
flow to the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 by opening the hot-water
supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a and vaporize the hot-water supply
refrigerant by heat of the atmosphere. At this occasion, the control device 1a sets
the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve
49a based on the temperature of the hot-water supply heat exchanger outlet at the
hot-water supply refrigerant outlet 44b of the hot-water supply heat source side heat
exchanger 44.
[0172] The hot-water supply refrigerant which flows through the hot-water supply refrigerant
circuit 6 can be distributed to the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the hot-water
supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 based on the target evaporation temperature
in the hot-water supply cycle when the exhaust heat recovery operation is carried
out in the case where the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount is larger than the
air conditioning heat radiating amount by the configuration. All of the hot-water
supply refrigerant can be evaporated by the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the
hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44, and a desired heat amount can
be exchanged between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot-water supply refrigerant
at the intermediate heat exchanger 23.
[0173] The air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 according to the present embodiment
is constructed by a configuration of including the air conditioning refrigerant flow
rate adjusting valve 35c on a side of the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant
inlet 24a of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 and including
the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49a on a side of the hot-water
supply refrigerant inlet 44a of the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger
44. This is because the flow path resistance of the intermediate heat exchanger 23
against the air conditioning refrigerant is larger than the flow path resistance of
the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 against the air conditioning
refrigerant, and the flow path resistance of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 against
the hot-water supply refrigerant is larger than the flow path resistance of the hot-water
supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 against the hot-water supply refrigerant
as described above.
[0174] Therefore, there may be constructed a configuration in which an air conditioning
refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35a1 which can adjust the flow rate is arranged
in place of the opening and closing valve 35a (refer to Fig. 1) which is arranged
at the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant inlet 23a of the intermediate heat
exchanger 23, and arranging a hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve
49b1 which can adjust the flow rate in place of the opening/closing valve 49b (refer
to Fig. 1) which is arranged at the hot-water supply refrigerant inlet 23c of the
intermediate heat exchanger 23 as shown in Fig. 10, in a case where the flow path
resistance of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 against the air conditioning refrigerant
is smaller than the flow path resistance of the air conditioning heat source side
heat exchanger 24 against the air conditioning refrigerant, and the flow path resistance
of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 against the hot-water supply refrigerant is
smaller than the flow path resistance of the hot-water supply heat source side heat
exchanger 44 against the hot-water supply refrigerant.
[0175] In the case of the configuration, it is in accordance with the invention to construct
a configuration of including air conditioning heat exchanger outlet temperature measuring
means (temperature sensor TH24) which measures a temperature of the air conditioning
refrigerant at a vicinity of the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant outlet
23b of the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and hot-water supply heat exchanger outlet
temperature measuring means (temperature sensor TH25) which measures a temperature
of the hot-water supply refrigerant at a vicinity of the hot-water supply refrigerant
outlet 23d of the intermediate heat exchanger 23.
[0176] The temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant which is measured by the temperature
sensor TH24 is made to be the temperature of the air conditioning heat exchanger outlet
of the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and the temperature of the hot-water supply
refrigerant which is measured by the temperature sensor TH25 is made to be the temperature
of the hot-water supply heat exchanger outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23.
[0177] In the case of the configuration, there maybe constructed a configuration which does
not include the temperature sensor TH22 of the air conditioning heat source side heat
exchanger 24, and the temperature sensor TH23 of the hot-water supply heat source
side heat exchanger 44.
[0178] The air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c which is arranged
at the cooling time air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a of the air conditioning
heat source side heat exchanger 24 may be a control valve (expansion valve) which
is not a flow rate adjusting valve. The hot-water refrigerant flow rate adjusting
valve 49a which is arranged at the hot-water supply refrigerant inlet 44a of the hot-water
supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 may be a control valve (expansion valve)
which is not a flow rate adjusting valve.
[0179] The control device 1a carries out the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting
the air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 to "second operation state" in
accordance with the procedure shown in Fig. 8 when the exhaust heat recovery operation
is carried out in the case where the air conditioning heat radiating amount is larger
than the hot-water supply heat absorbing amount.
[0180] At this occasion, the control device 1a calculates the temperature of the hot-water
supply heat exchanger outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 based on data received
from the temperature sensor TH24 in place of the temperature of the air conditioning
heat exchanger outlet of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 at
step S807. The control device 1a sets the valve opening degree of the air conditioning
refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35a1 such that the temperature of the air conditioning
heat exchanger outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 becomes the calculated
condensation temperature "Tc" at step S808.
[0181] Thereby, the air conditioning refrigerant can be made to flow to the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 which has a small flow path resistance against the air conditioning
refrigerant by a preferable flow rate, and the occurrence of the phenomenon of blocking
the flow can be prevented by preventing an increase in the flow resistance.
[0182] When the exhaust heat recovery operation is carried out in the case where the hot-water
supply heat absorbing amount is larger than the air conditioning heat radiating amount,
the control device 1a carries out the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the
air conditioning and hot-water supply system 100 to "third operation state" in accordance
with the procedure shown in Fig. 9.
[0183] At this occasion, the control device 1a calculates the temperature of the hot-water
supply heat exchanger outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 based on data received
from the temperature sensor TH25 in place of the temperature of the hot-water supply
heat exchanger outlet of the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 at
step S907. The control device 1a sets the valve opening degree of the hot-water supply
refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 49b1 such that the temperature of the hot-water
supply heat exchanger outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 becomes the calculated
target evaporation temperature "Te" at step S908.
[0184] Thereby, the hot-water supply refrigerant can be made to flow to the intermediate
heat exchanger 23 which has the small flow path resistance against the hot-water supply
refrigerant at a preferable flow rate. All of the hot-water supply refrigerant can
be evaporated at the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the hot-water supply heat
source side heat exchanger 44 , and a desired heat amount can be exchanged between
the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot-water supply refrigerant at the intermediate
heat exchanger 23.
