  • Patent number: 10619864
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heat pump water heater and a control method thereof. The control method is used for controlling the heat pump water heater and includes: detecting a temperature of water in a water tank; if the water temperature is not larger than a first preset temperature value, controlling, by a controller, a heating device to heat at a first average heating power; if the water temperature is larger than the a second preset temperature value, controlling the heating device to stop heating; otherwise, if detecting that water flows into the water tank, controlling the heating device to heat at a second average heating power, and if detecting that no water flows into the water tank, controlling the heating device to heat at a third average heating power.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9353969
    Abstract: A water tank may include an inner tank and a condenser. The condenser may have a liquid inlet tube, a liquid outlet tube, first and second condensing tubes wound around respectively an outer wall of an upper and lower part of the inner tank, first ends of the first and second condensing tubes being in fluid communication with the second end of the liquid inlet tube, and a third condensing tube wound around an outer wall of a bottom part of the inner tank beneath the lower part. A first end of the third condensing tube may be in fluid communication with second ends of the first and second condensing tubes respectively. A second end of the third condensing tube may be in fluid communication with a first end of the liquid outlet tube. A heat pump water heater comprising the water tank may be further provided.
