According to one embodiment, a refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a main flow channel of a refrigerant, a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a branch channel, an expansion valve, a supercooling heat exchanger, an injection flow channel, and a control unit. The control unit determines, based on whether the determination condition is satisfied or not, a determination condition for adjusting an opening degree of the expansion valve and adjusts the opening degree of the expansion valve according to a first target value for a discharge temperature of the refrigerant from the compressor, or a second target value for a superheat degree of the refrigerant flowing through the injection flow channel.

Refrigeration cycle apparatus

According to one embodiment, a refrigeration cycle apparatus, a fusible plug is attached to a low-pressure-side pipe between an evaporator and a compressor. The refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a heat quantity reduction member. The fusible plug fuses when a temperature of heat transmitted from the low-pressure-side pipe to the fusible plug reaches a predetermined value or more, and then opens the inside of the low-pressure-side pipe to atmosphere. The heat quantity reduction member reduces the quantity of heat to be transmitted to the fusible plug.

An outdoor unit for a multi-type air conditioner includes a compressor, a four-way valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, an outdoor expansion valve, a liquid tank, an accumulator, a shutoff valve provided for the refrigerant pipe between a liquid refrigerant inlet/outlet port and the liquid tank in the outdoor unit, and a first bypass circuit provided in the refrigerant pipe for bypassing the shutoff valve through a capillary tube to connect a liquid refrigerant inlet/outlet port side to an upper side of the refrigerant pipe in a gravity direction. The outdoor unit further includes a second bypass circuit for connecting a bottom portion of the liquid tank to an inlet side of the accumulator via an electromagnetic valve.

Outdoor unit for multi-type air conditioner

An indoor unit of an air-conditioner having a unit body, provided on a rear of a ceiling, having an lower surface portion exposed indoor and an indoor heat exchanger and a blower in its exterior, a decorative panel, structured as the lower surface portion for the unit body, having an inlet port for guiding air in a room to the indoor heat exchanger, a filter fixing portion, structured as a part of the decorative panel, having a filter attached to a position opposite to the inlet port to be detachable, a support portion for supporting the filter fixing portion to be freely rotatable to the decorative panel, and an open/close driving mechanism for driving the filter fixing portion to be freely opened and closed against the decorative panel in a state that the support portion is used as a fulcrum, the mechanism for hanging the filter fixing portion from a ceiling surface when being opened to be moved.

Indoor unit of air-conditioner

An air conditioning apparatus and method of controlling same wherein the air conditioner includes a refrigerating circuit having a variable capacity compressor, an indoor heat exchanger, an expansion device, and an outdoor heat exchanger; a variable speed outdoor fan for circulating an outside air through the outdoor heat exchanger; and an outdoor heat exchanger temperature detector for detecting the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger. The outside air temperature is estimated from the detected outdoor heat exchanger temperature, the capacity of the variable capacity compressor and the speed of the variable speed outdoor fan, and is used to control the compressor and/or the fan.
