Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4283171A1] An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit including: a compressor; a high-pressure pipe for high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor; a low-pressure pipe for low-pressure refrigerant to be sucked into the compressor; a first flow switching valve; an indoor heat exchanger; an expansion valve, a first outdoor heat exchanger; a second outdoor heat exchanger; and a second flow switching valve. The second flow switching valve switches flow passages for refrigerant flowing to the first outdoor heat exchanger and the second outdoor heat exchanger. The second flow switching valve includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a slide valve that is moved by a differential pressure between the first and second chambers. At least one of the first and second chambers is connected with the high-pressure pipe or the low-pressure pipe.
