  • Patent number: 9765977
    Abstract: A first circulation channel connects a first heat demand part and first supply heat exchanger with its forward route and return route. Supply and discharge channels are connected to a first heat accumulation tank, which accommodates a second heat medium heated in the first supply heat exchanger and supplied via the supply channel. A heat accumulation switching valve changes over communication of the second heat medium serving as hot heat or cold heat flowing from the first supply heat exchanger and supplied to the first heat demand part without branching to the supply channel or branching to the supply channel and supplied to the first heat accumulation tank. A heat-accumulating hot-water-supplying air conditioner operates at a first temperature when the second heat medium from the first supply heat exchanger branches to the supply channel, and at a second lower temperature when the second heat medium does not branch to the supply channel.

  • Patent number: 9702591
    Abstract: An operation plan correction unit is included which, after start of operation based on an operation plan, predicts a subsequent hot water supply load at a predetermined day on the basis of a hot water supply load result at the predetermined day, and changes a subsequent operation plan at the predetermined day generated by an operation plan generation unit, on the basis of the hot water supply load predicted again and a remaining amount of stored hot water in a hot water storage tank.

  • Patent number: 9562696
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a heat pump hot water supply system of the indirect heating method is provided such that a change in heat transfer efficiency of a second heat exchanger is estimated by using either or both of a tank water temperature and a temperature of a second refrigerant flowing through a water circuit. When the heat transfer efficiency is determined to be high, an operation switching unit raises an output of a heat source device. When the heat transfer efficiency is determined to be low, the operation switching unit lowers the output of the heat source device.

  • Patent number: 8381117
    Abstract: In a large-scale plant such as a power plant, a graphical user interface device displays a target data display screen without increasing a load of searching a screen or a load of grasping a screen transition link. An operation model-creating device reads operation manual data for operation estimation and operation history data from an operation manual managing device and an operation history managing device to create a number of pieces of manual procedure template data for each accident type. An operation predicting device selects the operation procedure template data having same conditions of immediately preceding operation history data obtained from the plant monitoring and control device to predict the next operation estimated to be performed by an operator from the selected operation procedure template data. The plant monitoring and control device displays a system recommended operation button on a monitoring screen thereof based on data of the predicted results.

  • Publication number: 20130025301
    Abstract: An operating method in a heat pump hot water supply system of an indirect heating method by which an average COP during a water heating period can be improved and a risk of running out of hot water can be prevented from increasing. For a heat pump hot water supply system of the indirect heating method, a change in heat transfer efficiency of a second heat exchanger is estimated by using either or both of a tank water temperature and a temperature of a second refrigerant flowing through a water circuit. When the heat transfer efficiency is determined to be high, an operation switching unit raises an output of a heat source device. When the heat transfer efficiency is determined to be low, the operation switching unit lowers the output of the heat source device.
