  • Publication number: 20240337420
    Abstract: A heat pump system includes a heat pump cycle, a heating unit, a low-temperature side heat medium circuit, and a control unit. The heat pump cycle includes a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. The heating unit heats ventilation air with heat released form refrigerant in the condenser. The low-temperature side heat medium circuit circulates a low-temperature side heat medium such that the refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat of the low-temperature side heat medium, and includes a heat source device and a heat amount adjustment unit. The control unit causes an amount of heat transfer in the heating unit for heating the ventilation air to approach a predetermined target value via adjustment in temperature of the low-temperature side heat medium by controlling a rotation speed of the compressor and an operation of at least one of the heat source device and the heat amount adjustment unit.

  • Publication number: 20240239157
    Abstract: A system includes: a low-temperature circuit having a chiller and in which a cooling water circulates therethrough; a heat dissipation unit for dissipating heat to an air; a refrigeration circuit in which a refrigerant circulates and for absorbing heat from the cooling water to the refrigerant at the chiller and dissipating heat from the refrigerant at the heat dissipation unit; a ratio adjusting device for adjusting a heat dissipation unit passing ratio; and a controller for controlling an heat transfer amount adjusting apparatus capable of adjusting the heat transfer amount in the refrigeration circuit and the ratio adjusting device. If it is predicted that the temperature of the cooling water decreases, the controller controls the apparatus so that the heat transfer amount is increased and controls the ratio adjusting device so that the ratio is decreased, before the temperature of the cooling water flowing through the chiller decreases.

  • Publication number: 20240239158
    Abstract: A system includes a refrigeration circuit, low-temperature circuit and controller. The refrigeration circuit includes: a tiller for absorbing heat from a colling water to a refrigerant; and a condenser for releasing heat from the refrigerant to an outside, and realizes a refrigeration cycle by circulating the refrigerant therethrough. The low-temperature circuit includes the tiller and an external heat exchanger for absorbing heat from an outside to the first heat medium, and circulate the cooling water therethrough. The controller can change a heat absorption amount of the refrigerant at the tiller. The controller controls the device so that a change in the heat absorption amount of the refrigerant at the first heat exchanger in accordance with a change in a temperature of the first heat medium is reduced, if the temperature of the cooling water flowing through the first heat exchanger changes by a reference value or more.
