Abstract
A switching mechanism (TVTVTVTVFV) includes an electric motor (), a flow path switching portion () to be driven by the electric motor (), a first port (P) connected to a high-pressure flow path () of a refrigerant circuit (), a second port (P) connected to a low-pressure flow path () of the refrigerant circuit (), and a third port (P) connected to a predetermined flow path of the refrigerant circuit (). The switching mechanism (TVTVTVTVFV) is switched between a first state in which the first port (P) communicates with the third port (P) and a second state in which the second port (P) communicates with the third port (P) in such a manner that the electric motor () drives the flow path switching portion ().
