<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storage type heat pump water heater capable of taking out the hot water for use from an intermediate temperature water tapping passage 35 with priority in supplying the hot water. <P>SOLUTION: A hot water supply control part 37 determines a temperature higher than a hot water supply set temperature ST by a predetermined temperature Δt, as a switching determination temperature KT, the intermediate temperature water mixing valve 34 is kept in standby in a state that it is communicated with an intermediate temperature water tapping passage 35 side, when a temperature of the hot water taken out from the intermediate temperature water tapping port 33, detected by a hot water storage temperature detecting sensor 36 is higher than the switching determination temperature KT, and in a state that it is communicated with a high temperature water tapping passage 12 side, in a case excluding the above case. As the intermediate temperature water mixing valve 34 is kept in standby in a state of being communicated with the intermediate temperature water tapping passage 35 side from the beginning, if the temperature of the hot water capable of being taken out from the intermediate temperature water tapping port 33 is a temperature of the hot water to be used in adjusting a temperature to the hot water supply set temperature ST, the quantity of the hot water taken out from the intermediate temperature water tapping passage 35 can be remarkably increased. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
