Abstract
An air-conditioning apparatus, including: a heat source-side heat exchanger including a plurality of heat transfer tubes each having a flattened shape and being arranged in parallel, the heat source-side heat exchanger being used at least as a condenser of a refrigeration cycle; and an outdoor fan for generating flows of air passing through the heat source-side heat exchanger in a predetermined air velocity distribution. The heat source-side heat exchanger is configured to exchange heat between the air and refrigerant flowing through the heat transfer tubes and includes a plurality of refrigerant paths, each including at least one of the plurality of heat transfer tubes and a plurality of two-phase paths for allowing gas refrigerant to flow into and out as two-phase refrigerant; and a plurality of liquid-phase paths for allowing the two-phase refrigerant flowing out of the plurality of two-phase paths to flow out as subcooled liquid refrigerant.
