Abstract
The present invention has an object to suppress an overshoot in the outlet temperature of a heat medium. A heat source machine controlling apparatus includes a computing unit and a set temperature changing unit. The computing unit calculates a load change rate using a predetermined arithmetic expression. The set temperature changing unit determines whether or not the load change rate calculated by the computing unit exceeds a predetermined threshold value. In the case where the load change rate exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the set temperature changing unit changes a set chilled water outlet temperature so as to suppress a change in a chilled water outlet temperature. For example, in the case where the chilled water outlet temperature is on a falling trend, if the set chilled water outlet temperature is set to a relatively high value, the heat source machine load decreases, and the chilled water outlet temperature is controlled to coincide with the set chilled water outlet temperature after the change. Consequently, an overshoot can be suppressed.
