Original Abstract Submitted
A heat pump system regulates, by use of a heat medium, a temperature of an object and includes a flow-rate acquisition device acquiring a flow rate of the heat medium. A heat source apparatus regulates a temperature of the heat medium and includes a compressor, a heat medium heat exchanger, and a controller including adjustment calculation circuitry, and control calculation circuitry. The adjustment calculation circuitry calculates, when a first condition is met, an amount of adjustment by use of an operating frequency of the compressor. The amount of adjustment is used to adjust a first flow rate of the heat medium that is based on a measurement result acquired from the flow-rate acquisition device. The control calculation circuitry adjusts, by use of the amount of adjustment, the first flow rate.
