Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3517855A1] An outdoor heat exchanger (3) is provided with a first outdoor heat exchanger (3a), a second outdoor heat exchanger (3b), and a switching valve (4). The number of a plurality of first refrigerant flow paths (RF1) in the first outdoor heat exchanger (3a) is greater than the number of at least one second refrigerant flow paths (RF2) in the second outdoor heat exchanger (3b). The switching valve (4) is configured to close a first valve flow path (VF1) and a third valve flow path (VF3) but open the second valve flow path (VF2) or to open the first valve flow path (VF1) and the third valve flow path (VF3) but close the second valve flow path (VF2).
