Abstract (en)

Provided is a refrigeration cycle apparatus in which, even when it is placed in a state where some indoor units are operated and other indoor units are stopped, refrigerant is suppressed from stagnating in the stopped indoor units. The refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a plurality of indoor heat exchangers (1a, 1b) exchanging heat between refrigerant and air, an outdoor heat exchanger (2) exchanging heat between the refrigerant and air, a six-way valve (3) switching a flow path of the refrigerant, a compressor (7) for compressing the refrigerant, and a shut-off valve (4a, 4b) configured to be capable of shutting off a flow of the refrigerant. The plurality of indoor heat exchangers are connected with the outdoor heat exchanger via the six-way valve. The plurality of indoor heat exchangers are arranged in parallel and connected with the six-way valve. At least one of the plurality of indoor heat exchangers is connected with the six-way valve via the shut-off valve.
