It is aimed to provide a heat pump type hot-water supply outdoor apparatus that can control a temperature of a compressor shell, according to a water temperature of a water circuit and a temperature of the compressor. A heat pump type hot-water supply outdoor apparatus 1a includes a refrigeration cycle including a compressor 2, a water-refrigerant heat exchanger 3, an expansion valve 4, and an air heat exchanger 5, a water jacket 10 that is arranged on the shell of the compressor 2 and connected in the middle of a branch water circuit 8 branching in parallel to a main water circuit 7 which starts from a hot water storage tank 30 and returns to the hot water storage tank 30 through a water-refrigerant heat exchanger 3, a water flow valve 9 that is connected between a branch A and the water jacket 10 and regulates the quantity of water flow, according to a control signal, a shell temperature detection sensor 6 that senses a temperature of the shell of the compressor 2, a water temperature sensor 11 that is installed in the vicinity of the branch A and senses a temperature of the water flowing out of the hot water storage tank 30, and a control apparatus 20a that generates a control signal for controlling the water flow valve 9, based on the temperature sensed by the shell temperature detection sensor 6 and the temperature sensed by the water temperature sensor 11, and outputs it to the water flow valve 9.

A nozzle 114a is an inlet port for a refrigerant. A recessed portion 117 (recessed area) is formed in a side plate 110a. The recessed portion 117, in conjunction with the nozzle insertion portion 131 and a bottom surface 133 of a reinforcing plate 113a, defines an inner space 119 which substantially seals the periphery of a nozzle insertion portion 131. The inner space 119 is a so-called doughnut-shaped space which surrounds the periphery of the nozzle insertion portion 131. A brazing filler material is introduced into the inner space 117 through a gap 132, and fills the inner space. As a result of the filling of the brazing filler material, the nozzle 114a, the reinforcing plate 113a, and the inner space 119 constitute a "pillar". The pillar improves the strength of the plate heat exchanger.

When using a plurality of heaters such as heat pump units 14a, 14b, and 14c, capacity is properly distributed according to the required capacity, thereby enabling highly efficient operation of a hot water system 10. To achieve this, a control apparatus 19 determines the heating capacity of each of the heat pump units 14a, 14b, and 14c in a way that the total heating capacity of the heat pump units 14a, 14b, and 14c reaches the heating capacity required in the hot water system 10 as a whole, and further in a way that the total COP (coefficient of performance) of the heat pump units 14a, 14b, and 14c satisfies predetermined condition. The control apparatus 19 controls each of regulating valves 13a, 13b, and 13c in a way that the heating capacity of each of the heat pump units 14a, 14b, and 14c reaches the above determined heating capacity.

To increase the compressive strength of a plate heat exchanger. The plate heat exchanger includes a stack of a plurality of plates each having an inlet and an outlet for a fluid. Each adjacent two of the plates are bonded to each other at regions thereof where top parts of the wavy portion provided in a lower one of the plates and bottom parts of the wavy portion provided in an upper one of the plates overlap each other when seen in the stacking direction. Particularly, a top part included in the top parts of the wavy portion of the lower plate and being adjacent to each of the inlet and the outlet has a planar shape.

To prevent the occurrence of stagnation of a fluid in a plate heat exchanger without reducing the area of heat transfer. A plate heat exchanger includes a plurality of rectangular plates each having, at four corners thereof, inlets and outlets 9, 10, and others for a first fluid and a second fluid. The plates are stacked such that first passages each defined by adjacent two of the plates and through which the first fluid flows and second passages each defined by adjacent two of the plates and through which the second fluid flows are provided alternately. The first passage includes a bypass passage 22 extending from an inlet peripheral portion, which is an area around the inlet, along the outlet 12 for the second fluid up to a long-side-peripheral portion of the plate that is nearer to the second outlet 12. The bypass passage 22 allows some of the first fluid having flowed therein from the inlet 9 to flow from the long-side-peripheral portion into a heat-exchanging passage 17.
摘要:
A plate heat exchanger can reduce thermal contact between a second fluid (water) and a third fluid (low-temperature, low-pressure two-phase refrigerant) to enhance thermal efficiency. A plate heat exchanger (1) includes a heat transfer plate group (102a) that performs heat exchange between a first fluid of high-temperature, high-pressure gas refrigerant and a second fluid of a heating target fluid; and a heat transfer plate group (102b) that performs heat exchange between a first fluid of low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant and a third fluid of low-temperature, low-pressure two-phase liquid refrigerant. The heat transfer plate group (102a) forms refrigerant channels including a stack of plates, has a configuration that a flow of the first fluid of high-temperature, high-pressure gas refrigerant and a flow of the second fluid are alternately aligned in the refrigerant channels, and causes the second fluid to flow in the outermost refrigerant channel. The heat transfer plate group (102b) forms refrigerant channels including a stack of plates, has a configuration that a flow of a the first fluid of low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant and a flow of the third fluid are alternately aligned in the refrigerant channels, and causes the first fluid of low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows in the refrigerant channel adjacent to the heat transfer plate group (102a).
