Abstract: A heat pump device having a refrigerant circuit includes: a valve configured to maintain an opening degree during non-energization; a valve drive circuit configured to cause operation of the valve; a valve controller configured to control the valve drive circuit; and a power source circuit configured to supply a power source to the valve drive circuit. The power source circuit includes: a first power source circuit unit configured to receive power source supply from outside to generate a DC: voltage; and a second power source circuit unit for backup. The second power source circuit unit receives power source supply from the outside to store power in a capacitor, and connects the capacitor in parallel to a first output electric path of the first power source circuit unit.

Abstract: A motor driving apparatus includes a boosting section, a drive voltage output section, a detecting section, a storage section and a determining section. The boosting section generates a post-boosting voltage by boosting an input voltage. The drive voltage output section generates a drive voltage to drive a motor using the post-boosting voltage. The detecting section detects a value of the input voltage or a variation width relative to a reference value of the input voltage as variation power source variation information when there is power source variation. The storage section stores target value association information associating the power source variation information and a boosting target value of the post-boosting voltage. The determining section determines the boosting target value based on the power source variation information and target value association information. The target value association information is determined based on a range of operations of the drive voltage output section.

Abstract: A refrigerant jacket includes a refrigerant cooling member, a cover member and a strength member. The cooling member is constructed of aluminum or aluminum alloy that thermally contacts a heat emitting electrical part, and has a groove portion. A refrigerant tube of a refrigerant circuit fits into the groove portion. The cover member covers the refrigerant cooling member in a state where the refrigerant tube has been fitted into the groove portion. The strength member is higher in strength than the cooling member, and is fixed to the cooling member. The cover member has a cover-side through hole opposing the strength member. The strength member has a cover member fixing screw hole opposing the cover-side through hole. The cover member is fixed to the strength member by a cover member fixing screw that passes through the cover-side through hole and screws into threads of the cover member fixing screw hole.
