Abstract
A water heater and a method for controlling the same are provided. The water heater may include a compressor and a condenser disposed on an outlet side of the compressor and configured to perform heat exchange with water and may constitute a branch passage by branching an outlet-side passage of the condenser, and a cooling unit of an electronic component unit may be constituted in the branch passage. The temperature of the refrigerant introduced into the cooling unit may be lowered by installing a cooling expansion device on an inlet side of the cooling unit of the electronic component unit. With this configuration, the cooling of the electronic component unit by the cooling unit may be performed efficiently.
