  • Publication number: 20210341192
    Abstract: A heat pump device comprises a refrigerant circuit in which a compressor, a first indoor heat exchanger, an electric expansion valve, and a heat source-side heat exchanger are connected in a loop, a second indoor heat exchanger arranged between the compressor and the electric expansion valve and configured to store refrigerant during positive cycle defrost operation, an electromagnetic valve arranged between the second indoor heat exchanger and the electric expansion valve and configured to adjust an amount of refrigerant stored in the second indoor heat exchanger during the positive cycle defrost operation, and a control device that controls the compressor and the electric expansion valve.

  • Patent number: 10371421
    Abstract: The oil level in a compressor is lowered upon activation of the compressor. A heat pump-type heating device of the present invention includes: a refrigerant circuit in which a compressor, a heat-source-side heat exchanger, a motor-operated valve, and a target-side heat exchanger are provided; and an outdoor fan which is provided for the heat-source-side heat exchanger. The target-side heat exchanger is capable of heating, by a refrigerant, fluid supplied from outside. The rotation number of the outdoor fan upon activation of the compressor when a difference between a temperature of the fluid supplied to the target-side heat exchanger and an outside temperature is equal to or larger than a predetermined temperature difference is smaller than the rotation number when the difference is smaller than the predetermined temperature difference.
