In addition, a mist hot water supply pipe 65 a is connected to the hot water supply pipe 65 connected to the bathroom 101. The mist generator 2 is connected to the mist hot water supply pipe 65a branched here.

  Next, an operation example of the heat pump type hot water supply apparatus 4 will be described. In the hot water supply device 4, first, water is supplied from the water supply pipe 63 to the tank 60 of the hot water storage tank unit 54. The water supplied to the tank 60 is supplied to the water heat exchanger 56 of the heat pump unit 53 through the cold water pipe 61b.

  In the heat pump unit 53, the air is supplied to the air heat exchanger 55 by the fan 55a, heat exchange is performed with the refrigerant gas flowing through the refrigerant pipe 57, and the temperature of the refrigerant gas rises. The refrigerant gas that has been heat-exchanged by the air heat exchanger 55 is compressed by the compressor 58, so that the temperature further increases.

  Then, the refrigerant gas compressed by the compressor 58 and raised in temperature is supplied to the water heat exchanger 56. Thereby, in the water heat exchanger 56, heat exchange is performed between the refrigerant gas whose temperature has been increased by heat exchange and compression with the atmosphere and the water supplied from the hot water storage tank unit 54, and hot water I is generated. Is done. The refrigerant gas heat-exchanged by the water heat exchanger 56 is expanded by the expansion valve 59 to lower the temperature, and is supplied to the air heat exchanger 55 again.

  Moreover, the hot water I produced | generated by heat-exchange with the water heat exchanger 56 is returned to the tank 60 by the hot water piping 61a. As a result, the tank 60 stores hot water I and water in a state where the upper side has a high temperature and the lower side has a low temperature. The hot water I stored in the tank 60 is taken in by a water intake pipe 62. Here, when the temperature of the supplied water is high, the hot water I is taken from the high temperature portion intake pipe 62a, and when the temperature of the supplied water is low, the hot water I is taken from the intermediate temperature portion intake pipe 62b.

  The hot water I taken by the water intake pipe 62 is mixed with the water supplied from the branch water supply pipe 63b by the hot water supply mixing valve 64. The temperature of the hot water I supplied from the hot water supply pipe 65 is adjusted by switching the mixing ratio of the hot water I and water with the hot water supply mixing valve 64. Of course, room temperature water can also be sent to the hot water supply pipe 65. Hot water I or water supplied from the hot water supply pipe 65 is distributed to the bathroom 101, the washroom 102, and the kitchen 103. Thereby, the hot water I or water is supplied to the mist generating device 2 through the mist hot water supply pipe 65a branched from the hot water supply pipe 65. The hot water supply device 4 may not be a heat pump type using a natural refrigerant, or may be an ordinary electric water heater that is not a heat pump type, and may be a hot water supply device using a gas as a heat source or another heat source.

<Operation example of bathroom air conditioning system 1>
Next, an operation example of the mist operation of the bathroom air conditioning system 1 will be described. Here, the mist operation is an example of a mist mode. When the bathroom air-conditioning system 1 executes the mist operation, warm air is blown into the bathroom 101 from the outlet 41 of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 3, and into the bathroom 101 from the nozzle unit 2 </ b> C of the mist generating apparatus 2 of the mist generating apparatus 2. Hot water mist is ejected. Thereby, a mist sauna environment is created in the bathroom 101.

  First, the start of mist operation will be described. FIG. 13 to FIG. 15 are flowcharts showing an operation example at the start of the mist operation. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing the position of the louver 44 when the mist generator 2 and the bathroom air conditioner 3 are stopped. FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing the position of the louver 44 at the start of the mist operation. FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing the position of the louver 44 during the mist operation.

  In the bathroom air conditioning system 1, the mist operation is started with the following flow. In a state where the mist generating device 2 and the bathroom air conditioner 3 are stopped, the louver 44 of the bathroom air conditioner 3 is in a position facing the wall direction on the bathtub side, for example, as shown by an arrow in FIG. .

  In a state where the mist generator 2 and the bathroom air conditioner 3 are stopped, the user first presses the mist button 7b of the mist remote controller 7 or the heating mode button 6e of the air conditioner remote controller 6 (step ST21 in FIG. 13). As a result, the mist LED 6k of the air conditioning remote controller 6 and the mist LED 7f of the mist remote controller 7 blink (step ST22).

  Thereby, the “louver position change command” is transmitted from the mist remote controller 7 to the main control unit 5A of the bathroom air conditioner 3 via the mist control unit 2Bc of the mist generating device 2 (step 23). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 17, for example, the louver motors 44a and 44b of the louver 44 are controlled by the main controller 5A so that the air blowing direction is the bathtub 101b direction. As a result, it is possible to heat the interior of the bathroom 101 without blowing air to the user in the washing area 101e.

  Thereafter, “strong” of the heating mode LED 6l of the air-conditioning remote controller 6 and “strong” of the heating mode LED 7g of the mist remote controller 7 are lit (step ST24). Thereafter, the bathroom air conditioner 3 starts the heating operation with the output of the heater unit 33 set to “strong” (step ST25).

  Thereafter, a “mist operation start command” is transmitted from the mist remote controller 7 to the main controller 5A of the bathroom air conditioner 3 via the mist controller 2Bc of the mist generator 2 (step 26). Upon receipt of this “mist operation start command”, the main control unit 5A of the bathroom air conditioner 3 detects the temperature in the bathroom by the temperature detection sensor 69, and the temperature in the bathroom is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 30 ° C.). (Step ST27). Here, when the temperature in the bathroom is lower than the predetermined temperature, the main control unit 5A of the bathroom air conditioner 3 transmits a “mist operation disabled command” to the mist remote controller 7 (step ST28). After that, it waits for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) (step ST29), and again from the mist remote controller 7 to the main controller 5A of the bathroom air conditioner 3 via the mist controller 2Bc of the mist generator 2, the “mist operation start command”. "Is transmitted (step 26).

  When it is determined in step ST27 that the temperature in the bathroom is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, the main control unit 5A of the bathroom air conditioner 3 transmits a “mist operation permission command” to the mist remote controller 7 (step ST30). . Thereafter, the system waits for a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds) (step ST31), blinks the mist LED 6k of the air-conditioning remote controller 6, and lights the mist LED 7f of the mist remote controller 7 (step ST32 in FIG. 14).

  Thereafter, the mist control unit 2Bc opens the hot water supply electromagnetic valve 2d (step ST33) and opens the drainage electromagnetic valve 2f by the electromagnetic valve drive unit 2Bb (step ST34). Thereby, it will be in the state from which the hot water I was drained from the drain piping 2c via the piping 2k from the water supply piping 2a.

  After that, the timer t3 is reset by the mist control unit 2Bc of the mist generator 2 (step ST35), and it is determined by the temperature detection sensor 2h whether the hot water I is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 30 ° C.) (step). ST36). When the temperature of the hot water I is lower than the predetermined temperature, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has elapsed since the reset of the timer t3 (step ST37).

  Here, when five minutes or more have elapsed since the reset of the timer t3, it is determined that a failure has occurred in the hot water supply device 4 and the like, and the flow shown in FIG. First, the error LED 7h of the mist remote controller 7 is turned on (step ST44 in FIG. 15). Thereafter, after the buzzer of the mist remote controller 7 is sounded for 3 seconds (step ST45), the mist control unit 2Bc closes the hot water supply electromagnetic valve 2d by the electromagnetic valve drive unit 2Bb (step ST46) and opens the mist electromagnetic valve 2e. The state is set (step ST47). As a result, the residual water from the connection pipe 2b 'reaches the electromagnetic valve 2f through the pipes 2j and 2k and is drained to the drain pipe 2c. Thereby, the residual water in connection pipe 2b ', electromagnetic valve 2e, piping 2j, and 2k can be discharged outside the bathroom through electromagnetic valve 2f.

  After that, the system waits for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) (step ST48), and the mist control unit 2Bc closes the mist electromagnetic valve 2e by the electromagnetic valve driving unit 2Bb (step ST49) and closes the drainage electromagnetic valve 2f. (Step ST50). Thereafter, the heating operation of the bathroom air conditioner 3 and the louver 44 are stopped (step ST51). At this time, the louver 44 is in a position facing the wall direction on the bathtub side, for example, as indicated by an arrow in FIG.

  Here, when the user presses the stop button 7e of the mist remote controller 7 or the stop button 6h of the air conditioning remote controller 6, the error state is canceled (step ST53), and the error LED 7h of the mist remote controller 7 is turned off (step ST53). .

  Returning to FIG. 14, if it is determined in step ST37 that the predetermined time or more has not elapsed since the reset of the timer t3 and the hot water I is determined to be higher than the predetermined temperature in step ST36, the following flow is executed. The It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the reset of the timer t3 (step ST38). If 5 seconds or more have not elapsed since the reset of the timer t3, the timer t3 is reset again (step ST39) and waits for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) (step ST40).

  If it is determined in step ST38 that 5 seconds or more have elapsed since the reset of the timer t3, or after waiting for 5 seconds in step ST40, the mist LED 6k and the mist LED 7f are turned on (step ST41). Thereafter, the buzzer of the mist remote controller 7 is sounded for 1 second (step ST42).

  Thereafter, the mist control unit 2Bc opens the mist electromagnetic valve 2e by the electromagnetic valve driving unit 2Bb (step ST43), and then closes the drain electromagnetic valve 2f (step ST44). As a result, the mist is jetted into the bathroom 101 from the nozzle unit 2 </ b> C of the mist generating device 2, and the hot air is blown into the bathroom 101 from the outlet 41 of the bathroom air conditioner 3.

  Further, in the bathroom air conditioning system 1 of the present embodiment, the angle of the louver 44 of the bathroom air conditioner 3 can be changed by the louver button 7c of the mist remote controller 7 during the mist operation. With the louver button 7c, the angle of the louver 44 is changed as follows, for example.

  First, a method for changing the angle of the louver 44 in a predetermined direction will be described. In FIG. 18, the angle of the louver 44 blown from the outlet 41 in the direction indicated by the dashed line L is −10 °, and the angle of the louver 44 blown from the outlet 41 in the direction indicated by the dashed line M is 40 °. . Here, the angle of the louver 44 blown from the outlet 41 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 17 is 0 °.

  In the method of changing the angle of the louver 44 to one predetermined direction, for example, every time the louver button 7c of the mist remote controller 7 or the louver button 6o of the air conditioning remote controller 6 is pressed, 0 °, −10 °, 0 °, The angle of the louver 44 is changed to 10 °... 40 °, 30 °... 10 °, 0 °. Thereby, it becomes possible to change the blowing direction of warm air to the direction according to a user's liking.

  Next, a change method when operating the louver 44 by changing it continuously or stepwise within a predetermined range will be described. In this case, the louver button 7c or the louver button 6o is changed by, for example, long pressing for 2 seconds or more. Thus, for example, the louver is changed so that the air blowing direction changes in the range indicated by the alternate long and short dash line L in FIG. 18 (louver 44 angle: −10 °) to the direction indicated by the alternate long and short dash line M (louver 44 angle: 40 °). The angle of 44 is changed continuously or stepwise. Thereby, it becomes possible to blow warm air over a wide area in the bathroom 101 and uniformly heat the bathroom 101.

  Next, an operation example when the mist sauna operation is stopped will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the mist sauna operation is stopped. In the bathroom air conditioning system 1 during mist sauna operation by the method shown in FIGS. 13 to 17, the user presses the mist button 7b of the mist remote control 7 or the heating mode button 6e of the air conditioning remote control 6 (step ST60 in FIG. 19), Mist sauna operation stop flow starts.

  After step 60, the mist LED 7f of the mist remote controller 7 and the mist LED 6k of the air conditioning remote controller 6 are turned off (step ST61). Thereafter, the mist control unit 2Bc opens the drainage electromagnetic valve 2f by the electromagnetic valve driving unit 2Bb (step ST62), sets the mist electromagnetic valve 2e closed (step ST63), and waits for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) ( Step ST64). During this time, the hot water I is drained from the drain pipe 2c through the water supply pipe 2a through the pipe 2k.

  Thereafter, the mist control unit 2Bc closes the hot water supply solenoid valve 2d by the solenoid valve driving unit 2Bb (step ST65), opens the mist solenoid valve 2e (step ST66), and waits for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds). (Step ST67). During this time, residual water from the connection pipe 2b 'reaches the electromagnetic valve 2f through the pipes 2j and 2k and is drained to the drain pipe 2c. Thereby, the residual water in connection pipe 2b ', electromagnetic valve 2e, piping 2j, and 2k can be discharged outside the bathroom through electromagnetic valve 2f.

  Thereafter, the mist control unit 2Bc closes the mist solenoid valve 2e by the solenoid valve drive unit 2Bb (step ST68), waits for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) (step ST69), and then closes the drainage solenoid valve 2f. The state is set (step ST70). With such a flow, the mist operation is stopped.

  Next, an example of the operation when the mist sauna is operating at all stops will be described. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the mist sauna is in operation at the time of total stop. In the bathroom air-conditioning system 1 during the mist sauna operation by the method shown in FIGS. 13 and 17, the user presses the stop button 7e of the mist remote controller 7 or the stop button 6h of the air-conditioning remote controller 6 (step ST80 in FIG. 20). The entire stop flow starts during sauna operation.

  First, the mist LED 7f and heating LED 7g of the mist remote controller 7 and the mist LED 6k and heating mode LED 61 of the air conditioning remote controller 6 are turned off (step 81). Step ST82 to step ST90 in FIG. 20 are the same as step ST62 to step ST70 in FIG. After the completion of step ST90, the heating operation of the bathroom air conditioner 3 is stopped and the louver 44 is stopped (step ST91). According to such a flow, the entire stop during the mist operation is performed.
