Abstract (en)
An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit in which a compressor, a flow switching device, an outdoor heat exchanger, an expansion device, and an indoor heat exchanger are connected by pipes and through which refrigerant flows, and a control device controlling an operation of the refrigerant circuit to perform switching between a heating operation and a defrosting operation. The control device includes a determination unit that determines, based on operation information regarding the refrigerant circuit, during the heating operation, whether to change a requirement for starting the defrosting operation, a changing unit that changes the requirement for starting the defrosting operation in accordance with a result of determination by the determination unit, and a switching unit that, when the requirement for starting the defrosting operation is satisfied, causes the flow switching device to perform switching to start the defrosting operation.
