HEAT PUMP DEVICE, HEAT PUMP SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THREE-PHASE INVERTER

摘要

An object of the present invention is to efficiently heat a refrigerant retained in a compressor. An inverter control unit generates six drive signals corresponding to the respective switching elements of the inverter, and outputs the generated drive signals to the corresponding switching elements of the inverter to cause the inverter to generate a high-frequency AC voltage. Particularly, the inverter control unit generates a drive signal having a switching pattern A for turning on all the three switching elements on a positive voltage side or a negative voltage side of the inverter, and subsequent thereto, generates a drive signal having a switching pattern B for turning on two switching elements of the three switching elements and turning off one switching element thereof.
