Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3315875A1] A heat source apparatus including: a compressor; an air-cooled heat exchanger; a load-side heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between a heat medium which flows through a load, and refrigerant; and a main expansion valve which is connected between the air-cooled heat exchanger and the load-side heat exchanger, and has a function of being fully closed when stoppage of power supply from a power supply source is detected, includes a refrigerant flow control circuit connected in parallel to the main expansion valve. The refrigerant flow control circuit includes a first sub-expansion valve configured to regulate a flow rate of the refrigerant, a refrigerant tank configured to store the refrigerant, and a second sub-expansion valve configured to regulate the flow rate of the refrigerant, which are connected in series with one another.
