Abstract
A multi type air-conditioner is provided. The multi type air conditioner includes an outdoor unit having a plurality of outdoor heat exchangers that heat-exchanges with outdoor air and a compressor that compresses a refrigerant; a plurality of indoor units that performs either cooling or heating; a high pressure pipe connected between a discharge side of the compressor and the plurality of indoor units; a low pressure pipe connected between a suction side of the compressor and the plurality of indoor units; and a refrigerant exhauster provided between the high pressure pipe and the low pressure pipe. The refrigerant exhauster discharges a liquid refrigerant to the low pressure pipe when the liquid refrigerant is accumulated in the high pressure pipe, whereby degradation of cooling capability due to a lack of refrigerant may be prevented by minimizing accumulation of the liquid refrigerant in the high pressure pipe in a cooling operation mode.
