    摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigeration circuit, a first shut-off device provided at a pipe connecting a heat-source-side heat exchanger and an expansion device, a refrigerant leak detection device, and a controller. The controller controls a flow switching device to switch a connection state between a first connection state in which a discharge side of a compressor is connected to the heat-source-side heat exchanger, and a second connection state in which a suction side of the compressor is connected to the heat-source-side heat exchanger via an accumulator. When a refrigerant leak is detected, the controller performs a refrigerant retrieval operation and a refrigerant transfer operation.

    摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigeration circuit, a first shut-off device, a leakage detection device, and a controller configured to perform a refrigerant recovery operation in a case where refrigerant leakage is detected. At the time of the refrigerant recovery operation, the controller performs control to perform a first operation of recovering refrigerant from a load-side heat exchanger into an accumulator and a heat-source-side heat exchanger, and a second operation of moving refrigerant in the heat-source-side heat exchanger to the accumulator. In the first operation, the first shut-off device is closed, a flow passage switching device is brought into a first connection state, and a compressor is driven. The second operation is performed after the first operation, and in the second operation, the connection state of the flow passage switching device is switched to a second connection state in a state where the compressor is being operated.

    摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a main circuit in which a compressor, a flow switching device, an indoor heat exchanger, a pressure reducing device, and a plurality of parallel heat exchangers connected in parallel with each other are connected by pipes, a bypass pipe, a flow control device provided to the bypass pipe and configured to adjust a flow rate of refrigerant flowing through the bypass pipe, an evaporating pressure sensor configured to measure an evaporating pressure of the refrigerant, and a controller. The air-conditioning apparatus is configured to operate in a normal heating operation mode and a heating-defrosting operation mode. When an operation associated with the normal heating operation mode is switched to an operation associated with the heating-defrosting operation mode, the controller adjusts an opening degree of the flow control device using the evaporating pressure in the parallel heat exchanger and a driving frequency of the compressor.
