Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3869114A1] An air conditioning apparatus (100) includes: a main circuit (30); a first bypass flow path (B1) configured to communicate a pipe at a first expansion valve (6a) side of a second heat exchanger (7) with a pipe at a discharge side of a compressor (1); a second bypass flow path (B2) configured to communicate a pipe at a suction side of the compressor (1) with the pipe at the discharge side of the compressor (1); and a first flow path selection device (20) configured to selectively flow the refrigerant discharged from the compressor (1) to at least one of a first heat exchanger (5), the first bypass flow path (B1), and the second bypass flow path (B2). During a heating operation, the first flow path selection device (20) is configured to select at least the first heat exchanger (5). During a defrosting operation, the first flow path selection device (20) is configured to select at least the first bypass flow path (B1) after selecting at least the second bypass flow path (B2). With such a configuration, there can be provided an air conditioning apparatus that allows defrosting in a short time.
