Abstract (en)

The air conditioning system 100 may include a compressor 101, a heating circuit 152, and a refrigerant releaser 181. The compressor 101 may have a suction port 115 for drawing refrigerant and a discharge port for 120 discharging compressed refrigerant. The heating circuit 152 has a passage 152a that extends from the discharge port 120 to the suction port 115 though a heat exchanger 159. The refrigerant releaser 181 may release the refrigerant from the discharge port 120 to the suction port 115 when the discharge pressure Pd of the refrigerant results a predetermined high-pressure state during the operation of the heating circuit 152. The air conditioning system 100 can solve a problem of insufficient heating performance due to releasing the refrigerant in the heating circuit into the cooling circuit to alleviate the abnormally high-pressure state during operation of the heating circuit. <IMAGE>
