Abstract
A multi-type air conditioner includes an outdoor unit disposed at an exterior space, a plurality of indoor units disposed at interior spaces, and a mode conversion unit connected to the outdoor unit and the plurality of indoor units through refrigerant pipes to circulate a refrigerant between the outdoor unit and the plurality of indoor units. The mode conversion unit includes a plurality of subcooling units which are configured to subcool a refrigerant before the refrigerant is introduced to the plurality of indoor units, using a subcooling refrigerant pipe which sequentially passes through at least one of the plurality of subcooling units, so that a refrigerant after having passed through the subcooling unit, is in a state of pure gas while ensuring a desired subcooling degree that is suitable for each indoor unit.
