HEAT PUMP TYPE STEAM GENERATING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To contribute to energy saving and reduction of a carbon dioxide discharge amount by absorbing heat remaining in hot wastewater or the like, and efficiently and stably producing steam of a required temperature. SOLUTION: The heat pump type steam generating device is equipped with a refrigerant circuit wherein one end of a refrigerant pipe with another end connected to a delivery side of a compressor 1 is connected to an intake side of the compressor 1 via a steam generator 5, a refrigerant receiver 6, a first heat exchanger 7, an expansion valve 9, and a second heat exchanger 10 in this order, and it is composed to absorb heat from an external heat source by the heat exchanger 10, produce steam in the steam generator 5, and produce hot water by the first heat exchanger 7. It is comprised by using the first heat exchanger 7 as a heat exchanger exclusive for heating steam supply water producing hot water for steam. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
