摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus is configured to allow heat exchange in an intermediate heat exchanger between refrigerant that circulates in a refrigerant cycle circuit and a heat medium that circulates in a heat-medium cycle circuit. The heat-medium cycle circuit includes a discharge mechanism including a discharge valve, the discharge mechanism being configured to, when the discharge valve is open, discharge air present inside the heat-medium cycle circuit to the outside of the heat-medium cycle circuit. The air-conditioning apparatus is configured to execute an air discharge operation mode in which the air present inside the heat-medium cycle circuit is discharged to the outside of the heat-medium cycle circuit. The air discharge operation mode includes a first operation mode, and a second operation mode performed after the first operation mode. The first operation mode is an operation mode in which, with the discharge valve being closed, an operation similar to a cooling operation is performed. The second operation mode is an operation mode in which, with the discharge valve being open, an operation similar to a heating operation is performed.

摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a heat-medium cycle circuit that causes a heat medium to circulate in the heat-medium cycle circuit. The heat-medium cycle circuit includes a heat-source-side device, plural indoor heat exchangers, and a main pump, which are connected to each other by a pipe in the heat-medium cycle circuit. The heat-source-side device heats or cools the heat medium, which serves as a heat transfer medium. The plural indoor heat exchangers exchange heat between the heat medium and indoor air to be conditioned. The main pump pressurizes the heat medium and supplies the pressurized heat medium to the plural indoor heat exchangers. The air-conditioning apparatus further includes a pumping-performance-control pump installed in the heat-medium cycle circuit and supporting pumping performance of the main pump.

摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes an outdoor unit, multiple indoor units, and an intermediate unit. The indoor units each include a flow control device and an indoor controller. The intermediate unit includes an intermediate heat exchanger, a circulation device, and an intermediate controller. When at least one indoor unit starts operating, the intermediate controller determines whether a flow rate of a heat medium flowing into the intermediate heat exchanger is greater than or equal to a minimum flow rate. In response to determining that the flow rate is less than the minimum flow rate, the intermediate controller transmits an open instruction signal, representing an instruction to increase the opening degree of the flow control device, to the indoor controller of the indoor unit that is in a non-operation state. The indoor controller increases the opening degree of the flow control device in response to the received open instruction signal.

摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a low-pressure-side pressure sensor that detects the pressure of heat-source-side refrigerant that flows into a compressor and outputs it as a first detection value and a high-pressure-side pressure sensor that detects the pressure of heat-source-side refrigerant discharged from the compressor and outputs it as a second detection value. When switching the operation mode of the apparatus, a controller determines whether the ratio of the first detection value to the second detection value is higher than a first threshold. When the ratio is higher than the threshold, the controller causes a second refrigerant flow switching device to perform a switching operation. When the ratio is less than or equal to the threshold, the controller makes an adjustment such that an opening degree of an expansion device is less than a second threshold, and then causes the second refrigerant flow switching device to perform the switching operation.
