Abstract:
Disclosed is a four-way valve including a housing having a refrigerant filling chamber formed therein, a high pressure pipe hole formed on a bottom surface of the housing and coupled to a high pressure pipe through which refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows, a first pipe hole formed on an upper surface of the housing and coupled to a first pipe extending to a first heat exchanger, a second pipe hole formed on the upper surface of the housing and coupled to a second pipe extending to a second heat exchanger, a low pressure pipe hole formed on the upper surface of the housing and configured to allow the refrigerant to be collected to the compressor, and a switching guide configured to rotate to allow the low pressure pipe hole to selectively communicate with the first pipe hole or the second pipe hole.
