Abstract
It includes a heat source side refrigerant circuit ( ) having a plurality of refrigerant heat exchangers ( ), and a plurality of user-side refrigerant circuits ( ). A high pressure gas pipe (LG-H) is connected to the discharge side of outdoor compressors ( ) of the heat source side refrigerant circuit ( ), a low pressure gas pipe (LG-L) to the suction side of the outdoor compressors ( ), and a liquid pipe (LL) to the liquid side of outdoor heat source side heat exchangers ( ). The liquid pipe (LL) is connected to one end side of each refrigerant heat exchanger ( ). The other end side of the respective refrigerant heat exchangers ( ) can be switched by three-way valves ( ) between a state where it is communicated to the high pressure gas pipe (LG-H) and another state where it is communicated to the low pressure gas pipe (LG-L). The liquid pipe (LL) is connected to one end side of a user-side heat exchanger ( ) of the heat source side refrigerant circuit ( ). The other end side of the user-side heat exchanger ( ) can be switched by a three-way valve ( ) between a state where it is communicated to the high pressure gas pipe (LG-H) and another state where it is communicated to the low pressure gas pipe (LG-L).
