Abstract (en)

An air-conditioning apparatus (1) uses carbon dioxide as a refrigerant, and has a two-stage compression-type compression mechanism (2), a heat source-side heat exchanger (4), an expansion mechanism (5), a usage-side heat exchanger (6), a switching mechanism (3), an intermediate heat exchanger (7) which functions as a cooler of refrigerant discharged from a first-stage compression element and drawn into a second-stage compression element, and an intermediate heat exchanger bypass tube (9). In the air-conditioning apparatus (1), the intermediate heat exchanger (7) is disposed above the heat source-side heat exchanger (4), and when a reverse cycle defrosting operation is performed for defrosting the heat source-side heat exchanger (4) by switching the switching mechanism (3) to a cooling operation state, the intermediate heat exchanger bypass tube (9) is used to ensure that refrigerant does not flow to the intermediate heat exchanger (7).
