- a first aspect of the invention is an air conditioning system including: an air conditioner including an indoor unit and a plurality of outdoor units connected to the indoor unit; and a controller that controls the air conditioner, in which the controller alternately executes first control in which one of the outdoor units is caused to execute pump-down operation and in which another one of the outdoor units is put into a state where refrigerant is allowed to be recovered by a refrigerant recovery machine and second control in which the outdoor unit that executes the pump-down operation in the first control is put into a state where the refrigerant is allowed to be recovered by the refrigerant recovery machine and in which the outdoor unit that is put, in the first control, into the state where the refrigerant is allowed to be recovered is caused to execute pump-down operation.

- the air conditioning system even in the case in which a large amount of refrigerant that exceeds a storable amount of the outdoor unit is charged in the air conditioner, it is possible to switch control before the capacity within which the outdoor unit can perform pump-down operation is exceeded and perform refrigerant recovery in a rapid manner by using the pump-down operation of the outdoor units.
- the outdoor units each have a compressor and a low-pressure sensor that detects the pressure of the refrigerant flowing into the compressor, and the controller, in a case in which a detection value of the low-pressure sensor is smaller than or equal to a specified threshold, finishes execution of the first control and the second control.
