    摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a compressor, a condenser, a pressure-reducing device, an evaporator, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The controller controls the compressor and the pressure-reducing device to cause a heating operation or a cooling operation to be performed. The controller causes an intermittent operation to be performed, the intermittent operation being an operation in which an operation of the compressor is stopped when a cooling load or a heating load decreases and the operation of the compressor is started when the cooling load or the heating load increases. The controller causes, when the operation of the compressor is performed in the intermittent operation, the intermittent operation to be performed at a lowest frequency set as a lower-limit frequency in a frequency range that is set for the operation of the compressor. The controller has: a first determination value obtained by multiplying by a preset first constant set, a time constant which is a response value required until heating and cooling capacity in refrigerant circulation in a refrigeration cycle circuit is stabilized, and which is a value at a rise of a waveform representing the heating and cooling capacity calculated from a value measured by the temperature sensor; and a second determination value obtained by multiplying the time constant by a preset second constant smaller than the first constant. The controller increases the lowest frequency for a subsequent operation of the compressor, when in the intermittent operation, an intermittent operation time from the start to stop of the compressor is longer than the first determination value, and deceases the lowest frequency for the above subsequent operation, when in the intermittent operation, the intermittent operation time is shorter than the second determination value.

    摘要: An air conditioner (10) includes a refrigerant circuit (13) and refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit (13) has a compressor (1), a condenser (2), a pressure-regulating valve (3), and an evaporator (4). The refrigerant is R32. The pressure-regulating valve (3) includes a flow path (33) causing the refrigerant flowing from the condenser (2) to flow to the evaporator (4), a pressure reference chamber (S2) partitioned from the flow path (33) and filled with inert gas, and a valve portion (34) disposed in the flow path (33). The pressure-regulating valve (3) is configured to adjust a degree of opening of the valve portion (34) to adjust a flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the flow path (33). The valve portion (34) is configured to increase the degree of opening when a pressure in the flow path (33) is higher than a pressure in the pressure reference chamber (S2), and reduce the degree of opening when the pressure in the flow path (33) is lower than the pressure in the pressure reference chamber (S2).

The subcooling heat exchanger (34) is configured to allow refrigerant from the main heat exchanger (32) to flow through the subcooling heat exchanger (34). The bypass circuit is configured to cause the refrigerant to make a detour from the subcooling heat exchanger (34) to an exit side of the outdoor heat exchanger (30).
