    Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus includes an internal heat exchanger in which refrigerant flowing through a refrigerant pipe between an outdoor heat exchanger and an expansion device and refrigerant flowing through a refrigerant pipe between the expansion device and an indoor heat exchanger exchange heat, a pressure sensor, a first temperature sensor that detects temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the expansion device in the cooling operation, and a control unit configured to control the opening degree of the expansion device based on results of detection by the pressure sensor and the first temperature sensor in the cooling operation.

    Abstract: An air conditioner is disclosed. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, a first outdoor unit including a first outdoor heat exchanger and a first compressor to be driven by electricity, a second outdoor unit including a second outdoor heat exchanger and a second compressor to be driven by an engine, a cooling water line, through which cooling water to cool the engine flows, and at least one waste heat-recovering heat exchanger for exchanging heat between refrigerant to be introduced into at least one of the first outdoor heat exchanger and the second outdoor heat exchanger and the cooling water flowing through the cooling water line. By provision of the waste heat-recovering heat exchanger, which heat-exchanges hot cooling water with refrigerant flowing through the first and second outdoor heat exchangers, frost formed on the first and second outdoor units during low-temperature heating is removed. It is possible to cope with a wide range of heating loads while achieving high efficiency, using both the electric heat pump (EHP) system and the gas engine-driven heat pump (GHP) system.
