Thus, the indoor expansion valve 7 and the indoor heat exchanger 8 installed in the indoor unit 6 are connected in parallel and sequentially connected in an annular manner to form a heat pump type refrigeration cycle. Also compressor 2
An on-off valve 9 and a pressure reducer 1 are connected between the discharge pipe 2a and the suction pipe 2b.
The indoor heat exchanger 8 and the outdoor heat exchanger 4 are connected in series, and an indoor blower 11 and an outdoor blower 12 are installed adjacent to the indoor heat exchanger 8 and the outdoor heat exchanger 4, respectively. The (for example, three) indoor units 8a, 6b, and 6c can be operated individually, and when only the indoor unit 6a is operated, the other indoor units eb and ea are connected to the expansion valve 'yb.
, 7c are fully opened, and the indoor fans 11b and 11C are turned on.
has also stopped. At this time, the capacity of the compressor 2 is controlled by an inverter, etc., and is operated at a capacity corresponding to the number of operating indoor units 6. During heating operation, especially at low outside temperatures, the outdoor side heat exchanger 4 The refrigerant evaporation temperature also decreases, frost forms on the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger 4, and the heat exchange capacity decreases, so the heating capacity also decreases. Therefore, in order to perform defrosting operation, the expansion valve 7 of the indoor unit 6 that is in operation is fully opened, the capacity of the compressor 2 is maximized to increase the amount of refrigerant circulation, and the defrosting process is completed quickly, and the on-off valve is opened. A hot gas bypass is carried out by turning on and off, and a high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant is supplied to the outdoor heat exchanger 4 to perform defrosting by causing the indoor side blower 11 to perform a gentle breeze operation.

During heating operation, when frost formation on the outdoor heat exchanger 4 progresses, defrosting operation is started. At this time, the compressor 2 increases the amount of refrigerant circulation and the amount of heat supplied due to the increase in input, so the i/verter frequency is increased, etc., to reach the maximum capacity. Further, when the indoor units 6 in operation, for example, the indoor units 6a and 6b, are operated and the indoor unit 6C is stopped, the expansion valves 7a and 7b are fully opened, and the expansion valve 6 of the outdoor unit 1 is similarly fully opened. At this time, the indoor blowers 11a and 11b are set to a gentle breeze operation, and the other blowers 11c and 12 are stopped.
