Abstract (en)

This air conditioner using a refrigerant of R32 controls the opening degree of an expansion valve so as to stably control the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from a compressor. The air conditioner (10) includes a refrigerant circuit (11) in which a compressor (12), an outdoor heat exchanger (14), an expansion valve (15), and an indoor heat exchanger (16) are connected together, and through which HFC32 circulates as the refrigerant, and a controller (30) which performs an opening degree control every predetermined sampling time t to change the opening degree of the expansion valve (15) to a predetermined extent such that a discharge pipe temperature Tp of the compressor (12) reaches a target discharge pipe temperature Tpa. The sampling time t is set to be longer in a range where the opening degree of the expansion valve (15) is less than a predetermined value than in a range where the opening degree is equal to or more than the predetermined value.
