Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3954947A1] An outdoor unit (2) includes a compressor (10), a condenser (20), a heat exchanger (30) configured to exchange heat between refrigerant flowing in a first passage (HI) and the refrigerant flowing in a second passage (H2), and a second expansion valve (40). The outdoor unit (2) further includes a first refrigerant flow path (91 to 94) configured to cause the refrigerant to flow from a portion of a circulation flow path between an outlet of the first passage (HI) and the second expansion valve (40) to an inlet of the second passage (H2), a second refrigerant flow path (96 to 98) configured to cause the refrigerant to flow from an outlet of the second passage (H2) to a suction port (G1) or an intermediate pressure port (G3) of the compressor (10), and a flow path switching unit (74) disposed on the second refrigerant flow path and configured to switch, to one of the suction port (G1) and the intermediate pressure port (G3), a destination of the refrigerant flowing out from the outlet of the second passage (H2).
