Abstract (en)

An outdoor unit (2) includes a first flow path (F1), a second flow path (F2), a third flow path (F3), and an on-off valve (78). The first flow path (F1), which is a flow path from a refrigerant inlet port (PI2) to a refrigerant outlet port (PO2), is configured to form, together with a load device (3), a circulation flow path through which refrigerant circulates. A compressor (10), a condenser (20), and a second expansion device (40) are disposed on the first flow path (F1). A second flow path (F2) is configured to branch from the first flow path (F1), and to return, to the compressor (10), the refrigerant that has passed through the condenser (20). A third expansion device (71) and a receiver (73) are disposed on the second flow path (F2) in order from a branch point where the second flow path (F2) is branched from the first flow path (F1). A third flow path (F3) is configured to connect a portion of the first flow path (F1) between the second expansion device (40) and the refrigerant outlet port (PO2), to a refrigerant inlet of the receiver (73). The on-off valve (78) is disposed on the third flow path (F3).
