Abstract
An air-conditioning apparatus includes at least one indoor unit with intake and blow-out ports, a refrigerant gas sensor disposed in an air flow path inside the indoor unit; and a control device. The indoor unit has an indoor fan drawing indoor air in from the intake port and blowing conditioned air out from the blow-out port, an indoor temperature sensor detecting temperature of the indoor air, an indoor-side refrigerant circuit circulating a refrigerant having a greater specific gravity when gasified than air and producing conditioned air from the indoor air, and at least one refrigerant temperature sensor detecting refrigerant temperature in the refrigerant circuit. The control device drives the indoor fan in accordance with at least one of an operation mode and a detection value of the at least one refrigerant temperature sensor, and detects refrigerant leakage using the refrigerant gas sensor.
