Abstract
A heat pump device capable of efficiently and reliably preventing a liquid refrigerant from stagnating in a compressor an air conditioner, a heat pump water heater, a refrigerator, and a freezing machine including the heat pump device. The configuration is such that, when the compressor is under operation standby, a high-frequency voltage synchronizing with a carrier signal is supplied to the compressor motor to carry out the locked energization of the compressor motor. From respective inter-phase voltages, respective phase voltages, or respective phase currents of the compressor motor for a plurality of high-frequency energization cycles, the detection values for one high-frequency energization cycle are restored. A power value calculated using the restored detection values for one high-frequency energization cycle is controlled to coincide with a heating power command necessary for discharging the liquid refrigerant stagnated in the compressor to the outside of the compressor.
