- the outdoor air temperature is higher than the above-described condition
- the air dry-bulb temperature is 5 °C
- the air wet-bulb temperature is 4 °C.
- the dew point temperature of air is about 2.8 °C.
- both the air dry-bulb temperature and the dew point temperature may reach the temperature close to the refrigerant temperature.
- frost may adhere to the outdoor heat exchanger.
- the air dry-bulb temperature is 2 °C
- the air wet-bulb temperature is 1 °C
- the dew point temperature is -0.4 °C.
- Fig. 8 shows: a graph showing transition of the temperature of the refrigerant that flows through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 with respect to the refrigerant flow direction (a dashed line); a graph showing transition of the air dry-bulb temperature with respect to the air flow direction (a solid line); and a graph showing transition of the dew point temperature with respect to the air flow direction (a dotted line).
- the refrigerant inlet temperature (Tref-in) of the refrigerant flowing into auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 is lower than the outdoor air temperature (air inlet temperature (Tair-in)).
- the air dry-bulb temperature immediately reaches approximately the same temperature as the dew point temperature. Since the dew point temperature is lower than the freezing point of water (for example, 0 °C), frost is to adhere to the most part of outdoor heat exchanger 11 including auxiliary heat exchange unit 15.
- the defrosting operation is generally performed in the same operation mode as that in the operation of the outdoor heat exchanger functioning as a condenser.
- the direction in which the refrigerant flows is opposite to the direction in which the refrigerant flows during the operation of outdoor heat exchanger 11 functioning as an evaporator.
- the refrigerant flows through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 after it flows through main heat exchange unit 13 (see Fig. 6 ).
- Auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 is disposed below main heat exchange unit 13. Accordingly, the quantity of heat of the refrigerant is removed in main heat exchange unit 13 on the upstream side of the refrigerant flow.
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 on the downstream side the performance of defrosting adhering frost deteriorates, which may lengthen the defrosting time.
- the indoor temperature gradually lowers, so that a comfortable state may not be able to be maintained.
- frost may further grow to thereby damage auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 and the like.
- a significant problem may occur, for example, that a heat transfer tube is damaged to thereby cause leakage of refrigerant, and the like.
- Fig. 9 shows: a graph showing transition of the temperature of the refrigerant that flows through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 with respect to the refrigerant flow direction (a dashed line); a graph showing transition of the air dry-bulb temperature with respect to the air flow direction (a solid line); and a graph showing transition of the dew point temperature with respect to the air flow direction (a dotted line).
- the refrigerant outlet temperature (Tref-out) of the refrigerant delivered out of auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 is higher than the outdoor air temperature (air inlet temperature (Tair-in)).
- air inlet temperature (Tair-in) the outdoor air temperature
- frost does not adhere to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15, so that auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 is not damaged.
- the reliability as auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 is ensured.
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 used as a condenser the refrigerant changes so as to be liquefied. Accordingly, in main heat exchange unit 13 used as an evaporator, for evaporating the liquefied refrigerant, the load for heat exchange in main heat exchange unit 13 is increased. Therefore, the heat exchange performance significantly deteriorates.
- Fig. 10 shows: a graph showing transition of the temperature of the refrigerant that flows through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 with respect to the refrigerant flow direction (a dashed line); a graph showing transition of the air dry-bulb temperature with respect to the air flow direction (a solid line); and a graph showing transition of the dew point temperature with respect to the air flow direction (a dotted line).
- This operation of outdoor heat exchanger 11 functioning as an evaporator is performed on the conditions that, in the case where the refrigerant outlet temperature (Tref-out) is lower than the freezing point of water (for example, 0 °C), the refrigerant inlet temperature (Tref-in) of the refrigerant flowing into auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 is higher than the outdoor air temperature (air inlet temperature (Tair-in)), and the refrigerant outlet temperature of the refrigerant delivered out of auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 (Tref-out) is lower than the outdoor air temperature (air inlet temperature (Tair-in)).
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 The refrigerant flowing through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 is in a two-phase state including liquid refrigerant and gas refrigerant.
- adjusting the pressure loss of the refrigerant in auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 means the same as adjusting the refrigerant temperature.
- pressure loss unit 17 is provided between auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a located in the first column and auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b located in the second column, so that auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a is caused to function as a condenser and auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b is caused to function as an evaporator.
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a located in the windward column When auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a located in the windward column is caused to function as a condenser, the air temperature rises. Thus, even when auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b located in the leeward column is caused to function as an evaporator, the air temperature is less likely to fall below the dew point temperature. Thereby, auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 can be caused to entirely function as an evaporator in the state where the temperature of the refrigerant lowers, and also, adhesion of frost to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 can be prevented.
- the refrigerant flows through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a located on the windward side, and thereafter, flows through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b located on the leeward side.
- the refrigerant flows from the windward side toward the leeward side in the same manner as with the flow of air.
- Such the refrigerant flow is referred to as a parallel flow.
- the flow of the refrigerant from the leeward side toward the windward side is referred to as a counterflow.
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 in outdoor heat exchanger 11, the refrigerant first flows through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15, and then flows through main heat exchange unit 13.
- the refrigerant having flown through second heat transfer tube 33b then flows through first heat transfer tube 33a of auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a in the direction as indicated by an arrow.
- the refrigerant having flown through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a is caused to flow through main heat exchange unit 13 and thereafter delivered out of outdoor heat exchanger 11, in the same manner as shown in Fig. 7 .
- Fig. 12 represents the case where the refrigerant flows as a counterflow, and shows: a graph showing transition of the temperature of the refrigerant that flows through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 with respect to the refrigerant flow direction (a dashed line); a graph showing transition of the air dry-bulb temperature with respect to the air flow direction (a solid line); and a graph showing transition of the dew point temperature with respect to the air flow direction (a dotted line).
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 when the temperature of the refrigerant flowing through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a located on the windward side is set to be higher than the outdoor air temperature (air inlet temperature (Tair-in)), the temperature of the refrigerant flowing through auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b located on the leeward side is also higher than the outdoor air temperature (air inlet temperature (Tair-in)).
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 entirely functions as a condenser, so that the heat exchange performance deteriorates, as having been described with reference to Fig. 9 . Therefore, in order that outdoor heat exchanger 11 is operated to function as an evaporator so as to prevent adhesion of frost to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15, it is desirable to perform the operation such that the refrigerant flows as a parallel flow along the flow of air.
- pressure loss unit 17 is disposed between auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a and auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b.
- the friction loss inside the heat transfer tube such as first heat transfer tube 33a and second heat transfer tube 33b may be employed.

- the temperature of the refrigerant lowers gradually by the friction loss inside the heat transfer tube.
- the friction loss inside the heat transfer tube is defined by the flow velocity of the refrigerant, the inside shape of the heat transfer tube, and the length of the heat transfer tube. Accordingly, the amount of the refrigerant circulating in the air conditioning apparatus, the dimensions of the heat transfer tube inside the outdoor heat exchanger, the number of paths in the heat transfer tube, and the like are set at their respective prescribed values based on the design. Then, on the condition that the refrigerant temperature establishes a prescribed temperature relation, outdoor heat exchanger 11 is operated to function as an evaporator, with the result that adhesion of frost to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 can be prevented.
- the operation is performed such that the refrigerant inlet temperature (Tref-in) is higher than the outdoor air temperature (air inlet temperature (Tair-in)), and that the refrigerant outlet temperature (Tref-out) is lower than the outdoor air temperature (air inlet temperature (Tair-in)), so that adhesion of frost to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 can be prevented.

- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a located on the windward side can be entirely functioned as a condenser while auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b located on the leeward side can be entirely functioned as an evaporator. Consequently, as having been described in the first embodiment, adhesion of frost to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 of outdoor heat exchanger 11 can be prevented during the operation of outdoor heat exchanger 11 functioning as an evaporator.
- a header (an inter-columnar header) may be used, for example.

- a flow path through which refrigerant flows is provided inside inter-columnar header 41 for each route (path) extending from first heat transfer tube 33a to second heat transfer tube 33b.
- a throttle portion 43 is provided at some midpoint of the flow path in such a manner that the cross-sectional area of this midpoint in the flow path is narrower than the cross-sectional area of another portion in the flow path.
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a can be functioned as a condenser while auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b can be functioned as an evaporator. Consequently, during the operation of outdoor heat exchanger 11 functioning as an evaporator, adhesion of frost to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15 of outdoor heat exchanger 11 can be prevented.
- auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a disposed between auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a and auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b, for example, two headers may be used, including a header connected to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15a and a header connected to auxiliary heat exchange unit 15b.

- flow paths causing friction loss may be separately provided inside the flow paths of headers 45a and 45b. Then, also by adjusting the shapes of these flow paths to thereby adjust the pressure loss, adhesion of frost can be prevented
- a U-shaped tube may be used other than a header.
- a U-shaped tube 49 is connected for each route (path) extending from first heat transfer tube 33a to second heat transfer tube 33b.
