Abstract
An absorption-type air-conditioning apparatus includes an overflow pipe connecting a phase separator and an absorption chamber. When the apparatus begins operation, and the pressure differential between the phase separator and the evaporation chamber is insufficient to cause the absorption liquid to flow smoothly via dispenser nozzles into the absorption chamber, excessive accumulation of absorption liquid in the phase separator is prevented by allowing the excess liquid to bypass the nozzles via the overflow pipe. When the temperature of the absorption liquid in the phase separator increases so that the pressure differential between the phase separator and the absorption chamber is increased, the overflow pipe is closed, and normal operation of the apparatus proceeds.
