Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3872423A1] To provide an air conditioning apparatus capable of reliably performing refrigerant recovery even when the outside temperature is high. An air conditioning apparatus 1 includes an injection pipe 30 connecting an injection port 31 of a compressor 11 and a refrigerant pipe between a first regulating valve 14 and an indoor heat exchanger 21, and an injection regulating valve 32 disposed on the injection pipe 30. A control unit 40 executes a first refrigerant recovery operation including: controlling a four-way valve 12 so that an outdoor heat exchanger 13 serves as a radiator and the indoor heat exchanger 21 serves as an evaporator; operating the compressor 11; fully closing the first regulating valve 14; and controlling the opening degree of the injection regulating valve 32.
