A plug 53 is provided, 54 is a drain plug connected to the bottom of the hot water storage tank 2, and 55 is a drain plug connected to the heating circuit 30.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
Now that the appliance is installed and the hot water supply circuit, the bath circulation circuit 10, the water supply pipe 4, and the hot water supply pipe 7 are connected to each other by piping, the construction is completed by connecting to the power source. If 38 is pressed (step 56), a test run start signal is output to the hot water supply control section 36 in YES, and the hot water supply control section 36 opens the bath mixing valve 13 of the hot water filling circuit 11 in the water side 100% open state in step 57. The hot water side solenoid valve 14 is opened at the same time as switching to the hot water side 100% state, and the timer 39 starts counting for a predetermined time, here, 30 minutes.

  As a result, the air in the hot water storage tank 2 is extracted from the bath from the hot water filling circuit 11 through the bath circulation circuit 10, and the hot water filling is performed in the hot water storage tank 2 with the water supplied from the water supply pipe 4. Without providing any parts, the hot water filling circuit 11 is used to automatically bleed the air from the hot water storage tank 2 and fill it with water, which is very convenient and easy to use.

Then, when the timer 39 counts up for 30 minutes in step 58, the process proceeds to step 59 with YES to return the bath mixing valve 13 to the original water side 100% via the hot water supply control unit 36, and the hot water solenoid valve 14 Is closed and water filling using the hot water filling circuit 11 is terminated. At this time, “remote filling” is displayed on the remote controller 37 as well as a buzzer sound.
The 30-minute count by the timer 39 sets the time when the hot water storage tank 2 becomes full in advance in the test, and naturally the predetermined time is changed if the capacity of the hot water storage tank 7 changes.

  Next, the display of the remote control 37 is stored in the remote control unit 45 and is displayed as it is. When the stop cock 33 is in the open state, the flow proceeds to step 60 to drive the circulation pump 31 and the air in the heating circulation circuit 30. Is extracted by circulating the water in the hot water storage tank 2, and the extracted air is sequentially discharged out of the appliance by the relief valve 51, hot water supply and hot water filling.

It is driven again and the boiling trial run is automatically started.

  If the outlet temperature sensor 47 or the uppermost hot water storage temperature sensor 48 detects that the temperature of the hot water heated by the heat pump unit 21 has reached the boiling target temperature in step 64 after starting the boiling trial operation, the process returns to step 65 in YES. The advancing heat pump unit 21 and the circulation pump 31 are stopped to end the boiling trial operation, and the “boiling completion” display and a buzzer notify that the boiling operation has been normally performed. Later, a hot water filling test may be performed.

  If NO in step 64, the process proceeds to step 66 and it is determined whether the test run timer 49 has been counted up. If YES, the heat pump unit 21 and the circulation pump 31 are forcibly stopped in step 67 and “boiling” “Up abnormal” is displayed and this is informed by the buzzer, and the trial operation is temporarily stopped here. Therefore, it is only necessary to restart the air after reliably removing the air that is the cause.

  Next, when the heat pump type hot water heater is at night time, the hot water control unit 36 calculates the amount of stored hot water necessary for the next day, and instructs to heat up the target amount of stored hot water by the end of the night time. Then, the heat pump unit 21 is operated to start driving the circulation pump 31 of the heating circulation circuit 30. Then, the hot water taken out from the lower part of the hot water storage tank 2 is heated by driving the circulation pump 31 and returned to the upper part of the hot water storage tank 2, whereby hot hot water is stored.

  When the hot water temperature sensor 48 provided on the side surface of the hot water storage tank 7 detects that a predetermined amount of hot water has been stored, the hot water supply control unit 36 instructs the heat pump unit 21 to stop the heating operation, and the circulation pump The operation of No. 31 is stopped, and the hot water storage operation is completed by the end of the night time zone.

  When a hot water tap (not shown) is opened in this state, the high-temperature water in the upper part of the hot water storage tank 2 is mixed with hot water at the hot water mixing valve 6 from the hot water outlet pipe 3 and supplied as hot water at a set temperature through the hot water pipe 7. The hot water storage tank 2 is supplied with the water supply reduced by the hot water supply from the water supply pipe 4, and pushes the hot water up and repeats this in order to achieve good hot water supply.

Next, the first other embodiment shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 will be described. The same parts as those of this embodiment are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted, and only the differences will be described.
FIG. 4 uses the bath flow switch 18 provided in the bath circulation circuit 10 in place of the timer 39 to detect the completion of water filling in the hot water storage tank 2. The bath flow switch 18 is input to the hot water supply control unit 36. Is connected to the side.

  In operation, if the trial operation switch 38 of the remote control 37 is pressed (step 56), the process proceeds to step 68 with YES, and the hot water solenoid valve 14 is opened with the bath mixing valve 13 left open at 100%. A small amount of water is supplied to the bath flow switch 18 as priming water. In step 69, the filling water flow counter 15 counts a predetermined flow rate to terminate the priming water. In YES, the processing proceeds to step 70 and the filling water solenoid valve 14 is once closed. After that, in step 71, the bath mixing valve 13 of the hot water filling circuit 11 is switched from the water side 100% open state to the hot water side 100% state, and the hot water electromagnetic valve 14 is opened to use the hot water filling circuit 11. The hot water storage tank 2 is evacuated and filled with water.

  Further, when the hot water storage tank 2 becomes full in step 72, water flows into the bath circulation circuit 10 via the hot water filling circuit 11, so that the bath flow switch 18 detects this, and proceeds to step 59 with YES to control hot water supply. The bath mixing valve 13 is returned to the original water side 100% through the section 29, and the water filling electromagnetic valve 14 is closed to terminate the water filling using the water filling circuit 11. “End” is displayed as a letter, a buzzer sound is notified, and the water flow is detected by the bath flow switch 18 to detect the completion of water filling. is there.

  If NO in step 72, the flow proceeds to step 73, and the safety timer 74 that counts the time from the start of the trial run by pressing the trial run switch 38 detects the water flow even if the bath flow switch 18 exceeds the predetermined safety time. If not, it is determined as abnormal, and the process proceeds to step 75 with YES to forcibly close the hot water solenoid valve 14 and display “water filling error” on the display unit 44 of the remote control 37 as well as a warning sound. It is possible to ensure safety safely, even if there is no person at the time of trial run, automatic trial run with peace of mind, and search for the cause of this `` water filling error '' and deal with it, and test run from this water filling again Just start.

  Next, when the water filling is successfully completed in step 59, the display on the remote controller 37 remains as it is and the stop cock 33 is in the open state. Then, the flow proceeds to step 60 and the circulation pump 31 is driven to The air is extracted by circulating the water in the hot water storage tank 2, and the extracted air is sequentially discharged out of the appliance by the relief valve 51, hot water supply and hot water filling.

  Then, when the test run timer 49 has elapsed for a predetermined time of 30 minutes in step 61, the process proceeds to step 62 to stop the circulation pump 31, and further proceeds to step 63 to drive the heat pump unit 21 and to turn the circulation pump 31 on. It is driven again and the boiling trial run is automatically started.

  If the outlet temperature sensor 47 or the uppermost hot water storage temperature sensor 48 detects that the temperature of the hot water heated by the heat pump unit 21 has reached the boiling target temperature in step 64 after starting the boiling trial operation, the process returns to step 65 in YES. The heat pump unit 21 and the circulation pump 31 are stopped to finish the boiling trial operation, and the “boiling completion” display and a buzzer notify that the boiling operation has been normally performed. The hot water filling test may be continued.

  If NO in step 64, the process proceeds to step 66 and it is determined whether the test run timer 49 has been counted up. If YES, the heat pump unit 21 and the circulation pump 31 are forcibly stopped in step 67 and “boiling” ”Up abnormal” is displayed and this is notified with a buzzer.

  Next, the second other embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 will be described in the same manner. The hot water flow rate counter 15 is eliminated, and the water supply flow rate counter is located upstream of the branch portion of the hot water supply bypass tube 5 of the water supply tube 4. The water supply flow rate counter 76 counts the amount of water flowing directly into the hot water storage tank 2 and stops it when it is full.

  If the test operation switch 38 of the remote control 37 is pressed (step 56), the process proceeds to step 68 with YES, and the hot water solenoid valve 14 is opened with the bath mixing valve 13 left open at the water side 100%. A small amount of water is supplied as priming water to the feed water flow counter 76 to prevent seizure and perform a smooth operation. In step 77, the feed water flow counter 76 counts a predetermined flow rate to terminate the priming water. If YES, the process proceeds to step 70, and once the hot water solenoid valve 14 is closed, then in step 71, the bath mixing valve 13 of the hot water circuit 11 is switched from the water side 100% open state to the hot water side 100% state, and the hot water solenoid By opening the valve 14, the hot water tank 2 is evacuated and filled with water using the hot water filling circuit 11.

  Further, the process proceeds to step 78, and the water supply flow rate counter 76 counts a preset flow rate at which the hot water storage tank 2 is full. Thus, the process proceeds to step 59 with YES, and the bath mixing valve 13 is connected to the original water via the hot water supply controller 36. The water filling solenoid valve 14 is closed and the water filling using the water filling circuit 11 is terminated, and the remote control 37 displays “end of water filling” as a character and notifies with a buzzer sound. Since the completion of water filling is detected by detecting the flow rate flowing into the hot water storage tank 2 by the water supply flow rate counter 76, it can be reliably detected that the water filling has been completed, and can be used with great peace of mind.

  If NO at step 78, the routine proceeds to step 73, where the safety timer 74 that counts the time from the start of the trial run due to the pressing of the trial run switch 38, the feed water flow rate counter 76 keeps the predetermined flow rate even if the predetermined safety time is exceeded. When it is not detected, it is judged as abnormal, and the process proceeds to step 75 with YES to forcibly close the hot water solenoid valve 14 and display “water filling error” on the display unit 44 of the remote control 37 as well as an alarm sound. Therefore, it is possible to ensure safety safely, even if there is no person at the time of test operation, automatic test operation can be performed with peace of mind, and the cause of this `` water filling error '' is searched for and dealt with again, and trial operation from this water filling You can start it.

  The water supply flow counter 76 is located upstream of the hot water supply bypass pipe 5 and can count the amount of water supplied to the hot water storage tank 2, thereby providing a flow counter in the hot water supply pipe 7. It is also possible to detect the amount of hot water filling by calculating the difference.

  Next, when the water filling is successfully completed in step 59, the display on the remote controller 37 remains as it is and the stop cock 33 is in the open state. Then, the flow proceeds to step 60 and the circulation pump 31 is driven to The air is extracted by circulating the water in the hot water storage tank 2, and the extracted air is sequentially discharged out of the appliance by the relief valve 51, hot water supply and hot water filling.

  Then, when the test run timer 49 has elapsed for a predetermined time of 30 minutes in step 61, the process proceeds to step 62 to stop the circulation pump 31, and further proceeds to step 63 to drive the heat pump unit 21 and to turn the circulation pump 31 on. It is driven again and the boiling trial run is automatically started.

  If the outlet temperature sensor 47 or the uppermost hot water storage temperature sensor 48 detects that the temperature of the hot water heated by the heat pump unit 21 has reached the boiling target temperature in step 64 after starting the boiling trial operation, the process returns to step 65 in YES. The heat pump unit 21 and the circulation pump 31 are stopped to finish the boiling trial operation, and the “boiling completion” display and a buzzer notify that the boiling operation has been normally performed. The hot water filling test may be continued.

  If NO in step 64, the process proceeds to step 66 and it is determined whether the test run timer 49 has been counted up. If YES, the heat pump unit 21 and the circulation pump 31 are forcibly stopped in step 67 and “boiling” ”Up abnormal” is displayed and this is notified with a buzzer.

In this way, each trial run is performed automatically and continuously, so there is no need for people to stick to the equipment, and everything is done automatically, making it possible to save time and reduce labor costs. It is extremely useful, especially in apartment buildings where many appliances are installed at once, such as apartments and condominiums.
Trial operation is easily performed only by operating the trial operation switch, and can be easily operated by anyone without the need for complicated operation. Further, if an abnormality occurs during the test operation, the operation is stopped in the middle of the test operation. Therefore, the cause of the abnormality becomes clear, the cause can be eliminated, and the test operation can be continued again, which is convenient. In addition, normality and abnormality of the boiling trial run can be known by display and notification on the remote controller, and another work can be done until the trial run is completed, which is extremely efficient and convenient to use.
