    摘要: A heat exchanger has first and second heat exchange units disposed one above the other. In a case where the heat exchanger functions as a condenser, refrigerant flows through the second heat exchange unit after having flowed through the first heat exchange unit. An intermediate header unit through which the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit communicate with each other causes at least a portion of refrigerant having flowed through a first heat transfer pipe group on the windward side of the first heat exchange unit to flow to a fourth heat transfer pipe group. Further, the intermediate header unit causes at least a portion of refrigerant having flowed through a second heat transfer pipe group on the leeward side of the first heat exchange unit to flow into a third heat transfer pipe group or the fourth heat transfer pipe group.

    摘要: An outdoor unit includes a heat exchanger, a fan having a motor having coils to blow air to the heat exchanger, a connection switching unit to switch a connection state of the coils between a first connection state and a second connection state in which a line voltage is lower than a line voltage in the first connection state, and a temperature sensor to detect a temperature. When the motor is not driven, the connection switching unit sets the connection state of the coils to the second connection state. When the motor rotates, the connection switching unit sets the connection state of the coils to the first connection state if a detected temperature by the temperature sensor is higher than or equal to a threshold, and the connection switching unit sets the connection state of the coils to the second connection state if the detected temperature is lower than the threshold.

    摘要: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit and a fluid circuit. The fluid circuit includes a first branch circuit that connects a branching portion at which a downstream portion of a second heat exchanger branches and a connecting portion farther downstream in a direction of fluid flow than the branching portion, and a second branch circuit that connects a branching portion at which a portion farther downstream than the connecting portion of the first branch circuit branches and a connecting portion farther downstream in the direction of fluid flow than the branching portion of the second branch circuit. The first branch circuit is provided with a third heat exchanger that exchanges heat between fluid flowing through the fluid circuit and outdoor air, and the second branch circuit is provided with a heat storage tank that stores fluid having exchanged heat with outdoor air in the third heat exchanger.

    摘要: An air-conditioning-apparatus outdoor unit includes a casing, an air-sending device chamber, a machine chamber, a partition, a heat exchanger cover, and an electric box including a bottom plate that defines a bottom surface of the electric box and that is joined to an upper end of the heat exchanger cover. The casing includes a shell panel having an outdoor-air inlet that is open. The heat exchanger cover is positioned to face the outdoor-air inlet, and defines, together with the partition and the shell panel, an air passage communicating with the outdoor-air inlet in the machine chamber. The bottom plate of the electric box has a bottom opening communicating with the air passage.
