Abstract (en)

[origin: US2014116078A1] An air conditioning apparatus includes a defrosting flow channel mechanism. The air conditioning apparatus performs an air-warming defrost operation in which refrigerant sent from an indoor heat exchanger to an outdoor heat exchanger is evaporated while defrosting an arbitrarily selected heat exchange path using the defrosting flow channel mechanism. In the defrost operation, the refrigerant sent to the outdoor heat exchanger from the indoor heat exchanger is not channeled into the refrigerant flow diverter but is passed through the arbitrarily selected heat exchange path from the gas-side end to the liquid-side end of the arbitrarily selected heat exchange path, and the refrigerant passed through the arbitrarily selected heat exchange path flows through the refrigerant flow diverter to be passed through other heat exchange paths other than the arbitrarily selected heat exchange path from the liquid-side end to the gas-side end of the other heat exchange paths.
