Abstract
An air conditioning system includes: an outdoor unit; indoor units; one or more refrigerant flow path switching devices that switch flow paths of a refrigerant between the outdoor unit and the indoor units; and external pipes extending from the outdoor unit to the indoor units. The air conditioning system is configured such that a sum of a first value and a first correction value is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value determined based on an industrial standard, where the first value is based on a total length of the external pipes from the outdoor unit to the indoor units via the one or more refrigerant flow path switching device, and the first correction value is based on a sum of capabilities of the indoor units connected to the one or more refrigerant flow path switching devices.
