    Abstract: A hot water supply system includes a hot water supply apparatus, a plurality of supply paths, and an estimation unit. The hot water supply apparatus includes a heating apparatus configured to heat water, a tank configured to store the water heated by the heating apparatus, and a water circuit configured to circulate the water in the tank. Each supply path is coupled to a corresponding one of a plurality of hot water supply targets and is configured to supply the water from the tank. The estimation unit is configured to predict a total amount of hot water supply demand, based on time-series data of a first index that indicates an amount of heat of water used in each of the plurality of hot water supply targets.

    Abstract: A refrigerant circuit includes a first compressor, a second compressor, a heat-source-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and a use-side heat exchanger. The refrigerant circuit is capable of performing a single-stage compression operation in which one of the first compressor and the second compressor is driven and the other is stopped, and a two-stage compression operation in which both the first compressor and the second compressor are driven. The control unit controls the refrigerant circuit so that, of the single-stage compression operation and the two-stage compression operation, an operation with a higher compression efficiency is performed.

    Abstract: An air conditioner (1, 101) has a refrigerant circuit (10, 110) which is formed by connecting an outdoor unit (2, 102) and an indoor unit (3). The refrigerant circuit (10, 110) has a refrigerant sealed therein. The refrigerant contains a hydrofluorocarbon having a property of undergoing a disproportionation reaction. The refrigerant circuit (10, 110) includes a refrigerant shutoff mechanism (24, 41, 43, 46, 47, 48) that shuts off a flow of the refrigerant from the outdoor unit (2, 102) side to the indoor unit (3) side when the refrigerant in a portion of the refrigerant circuit (10, 110) within the outdoor unit (2, 102) meets a predetermined condition.

    Abstract: A control unit (19) that controls the operation of a refrigerant circuit (10) executes pump down operation in which a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture is collected into a portion of the refrigerant circuit (10) within an outdoor unit (2), executes compositional ratio determination in which the compositional ratio of the non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture is determined based on the pressure and temperature of the non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture collected into the outdoor unit (2) by the pump down operation, and generates an alert when the compositional ratio of the non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture determined by the compositional ratio determination is outside an acceptable proportion range of a hydrofluorocarbon having the property of undergoing a disproportionation reaction.

    Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit switchable between a first operation of performing a refrigeration cycle in which a first compressor is stopped and a second compressor is driven and a second operation of performing a refrigeration cycle in which the first and second compressors and are driven. The refrigeration apparatus further includes a reduction mechanism configured to reduce a refrigerant flowing into the first compressor while a first condition is satisfied during the first operation. The first condition indicates that an internal pressure of the first compressor is lower than an evaporation pressure of an evaporator.

    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle apparatus has a compressor disposed via a bottom member of a housing, a second elastic member, a base, and a first elastic member. A first electric component that drives a motor for the compressor and a second electric component that performs another control are fixed to the base and disposed. The base has an upper surface that contacts the first elastic member and a lower surface that contacts the second elastic member. The first electric component and the second electric component are fixed to the upper surface directly or indirectly via a substrate and/or an electric-component casing. Top portions of the first electric component and the second electric component are lower than a top portion of the compressor.
