Abstract
An air conditioning apparatus includes a heat exchange device that connects an outdoor unit to an indoor unit and that includes a heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between refrigerant and water, thereby reducing an amount of refrigerant used to perform a cooling operation or a heating operation. The apparatus further includes a switching mechanism that connects the outdoor unit to the heat exchange device and that is configured to be connected to both a simultaneous outdoor unit and a switchable outdoor unit to thereby allow the heat exchange device to be installed regardless of the type of the outdoor unit.
