Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2535668A1] Provided are a reversible receiver that is used in a multi-type air conditioner and that can suppress an excessive increase in the pressure of a refrigerant during heating operation even if the number of indoor units is reduced, and an air conditioner. The reversible receiver includes a container (51) storing the refrigerant therein; a first pipe (52) having an opening (53A) at an upper end thereof and extending upward from a lower portion of the container (51), the first pipe (52A) allowing the refrigerant to flow into the container (51) when cooling operation is performed and allowing the refrigerant to flow out from the container (51) when heating operation is performed by the air conditioner; and a second pipe (52B) having an opening (53B) at an upper end thereof and extending upward from the lower portion of the container (51), the second pipe (52B) allowing the refrigerant to flow out from the container (51) when the cooling operation is performed and allowing the refrigerant to flow into the container (51) when the heating operation is performed by the air conditioner. The first pipe (52A) extends further upward relative to the second pipe (52B), and a side surface of an area, which is disposed within the container (51), of the first pipe (52A) is provided with a communicating hole (54) that connects the first pipe (52A) and an interior of the container (51).
