Abstract
A refrigerant circuit includes a first compressor, a second compressor, a heat-source-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and a use-side heat exchanger. The refrigerant circuit is capable of performing a single-stage compression operation in which one of the first compressor and the second compressor is driven and the other is stopped, and a two-stage compression operation in which both the first compressor and the second compressor are driven. The control unit controls the refrigerant circuit so that, of the single-stage compression operation and the two-stage compression operation, an operation with a higher compression efficiency is performed.
