    Abstract: In an air conditioner, an inlet pipe penetrates a location that is offset towards an outer circumferential side from an apex portion of a top portion. The suction pipe penetrates a location that is offset towards the outer circumferential side from an apex portion of a bottom portion and is inserted into the interior of the main body portion, and the suction inner pipe, which constitutes a portion of the suction pipe that lies in the interior of the main body portion, extends as far as an upper portion of the main body portion so that an inlet port is disposed in a space defined by the top portion. Then, the suction inner pipe includes a bend portion that is bent from a location lying slightly above a location where the suction pipe penetrates the bottom portion as an originating point.

    Abstract: An outdoor unit control unit has a defrosting operation condition table that defines an activation rotational speed based on the total sum of the rated capacity of indoor units and a refrigerant pipe length that is the length of a liquid pipe or of a gas pipe. The outdoor unit control unit uses the total sum of the rated capacity of the indoor units and refers to the defrosting operation condition table, so as to determine the activation rotational speed, and then the outdoor unit control unit activates a compressor at the determined activation rotational speed when starting a defrosting operation, maintains this activation rotational speed for a predetermined time (one minute) from the start of the defrosting operation, and drives the compressor.

    Abstract: There is provided an air conditioner capable of displaying sufficient cooling ability in each indoor unit by allowing a sufficient amount of refrigerant to flow into indoor units where cooling ability cannot be displayed. By executing refrigerant amount balance control, since degrees of opening of indoor expansion valves are narrowed in indoor units whose refrigerant superheating degrees are smaller than an average refrigerant superheating degree, amounts of refrigerant flowing into the indoor expansion valves are decreased. In the indoor unit where the refrigerant superheating degree is higher than the average refrigerant superheating degree, since refrigerant pressure on a downstream side of the indoor expansion valve is also decreased due to the degrees of opening of the indoor expansion valves being narrowed, the difference in pressure between the upstream side and the downstream side of the indoor expansion valve increases and an amount of refrigerant flowing into the indoor unit is increased.
