Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3396273A1] Provided is an air conditioner 1 equipped with: a first depressurization unit 51 by which the pressure of non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture flowing out from a condenser 4 is reduced to a gas-liquid two-phase state; a gas-liquid separator 11 by which the non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture depressurized to a gas-liquid two-phase state is separated into a gas phase and a liquid phase; a first pathway 121 by which the gas-phase refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator 11 is supplied to an evaporator 6; a second pathway 122 by which the liquid-phase refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator 11 bypasses the evaporator 6; an intercooler 13 in which the refrigerant flowing through the first pathway 121 is condensed through heat exchange with the refrigerant flowing through the second pathway 122; a second depressurization unit 52 which reduces the pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the first pathway 121; and a third depressurization unit 53 which reduces the pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the second pathway 122.
