- Refrigerants are broadly divided into fluorocarbon compounds and non-fluorocarbon compounds in terms of the structure of the compounds.
- Fluorocarbon compounds include chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFC).
- Non-fluorocarbon compounds include propane (R290), propylene (R1270), butane (R600), isobutane (R600a), carbon dioxide (R744), ammonia (R717), and the like.
- composition comprising a refrigerant at least includes (1) a refrigerant itself (including a mixture of refrigerants), (2) a composition that further comprises other components and that can be mixed with at least a refrigeration oil to obtain a working fluid for a refrigerating machine, and (3) a working fluid for a refrigerating machine containing a refrigeration oil.
- the composition (2) is referred to as a “refrigerant composition” so as to distinguish it from a refrigerant itself (including a mixture of refrigerants).
- the working fluid for a refrigerating machine (3) is referred to as a “refrigeration oil-containing working fluid” so as to distinguish it from the “refrigerant composition.”
- the first type of “alternative” means that equipment designed for operation using the first refrigerant can be operated using the second refrigerant under optimum conditions, optionally with changes of only a few parts (at least one of the following: refrigeration oil, gasket, packing, expansion valve, dryer, and other parts) and equipment adjustment.
- this type of alternative means that the same equipment is operated with an alternative refrigerant.
- Embodiments of this type of “alternative” include “drop-in alternative,” “nearly drop-in alternative,” and “retrofit,” in the order in which the extent of changes and adjustment necessary for replacing the first refrigerant with the second refrigerant is smaller.
- alterative also includes a second type of “alternative,” which means that equipment designed for operation using the second refrigerant is operated for the same use as the existing use with the first refrigerant by using the second refrigerant. This type of alternative means that the same use is achieved with an alternative refrigerant.
- refrigerating machine refers to machines in general that draw heat from an object or space to make its temperature lower than the temperature of ambient air, and maintain a low temperature.
- refrigerating machines refer to conversion machines that gain energy from the outside to do work, and that perform energy conversion, in order to transfer heat from where the temperature is lower to where the temperature is higher.

Description
- The present disclosure relates to a heat source unit and a refrigeration cycle apparatus.
- Hitherto, in refrigeration cycle apparatuses, such as air conditioners, R410A is often used as a refrigerant. R410A is a two-component mixed refrigerant of difluoromethane (CH2F2; HFC-32, or R32) and pentafluoroethane (C2HF5; HFC-125, or R125) and is a pseudo-azeotropic composition.
- However, the global warming potential (GWP) of R410A is 2088, and, in recent years, because of growing concern about global warming, R32 that is a refrigerant having a lower GWP is used more often.
- For this reason, for example, PTL 1 (International Publication No. 2015/141678) suggests various types of low-GWP refrigerant mixtures as alternatives to R410A.
- However, for a case where a refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroethylene is used as a refrigerant having a sufficiently low GWP, using a refrigeration cycle apparatus or its component device having any pressure resistance strength is not considered or suggested at all.
- For example, for a refrigeration cycle apparatus in which a refrigerant, such as R410A and R32 that are often used so far, when existing connection pipes are used, and the refrigerant is replaced with a refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroethylene, there are concerns about occurrence of damage to the existing connection pipes if a device that is a component of the refrigeration cycle apparatus operates under a pressure exceeding the withstanding pressure of the existing connection pipes.
- The contents of the present disclosure are described in view of the above-described points, and it is an object to provide a heat source unit and a refrigeration cycle apparatus that are able to reduce damage to a connection pipe when a refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroethylene is used.

Refrigerants are broadly divided into fluorocarbon compounds and non-fluorocarbon compounds in terms of the structure of the compounds. Fluorocarbon compounds include chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). Non-fluorocarbon compounds include propane (R290), propylene (R1270), butane (R600), isobutane (R600a), carbon dioxide (R744), ammonia (R717), and the like.
- In the present specification, the phrase “composition comprising a refrigerant” at least includes (1) a refrigerant itself (including a mixture of refrigerants), (2) a composition that further comprises other components and that can be mixed with at least a refrigeration oil to obtain a working fluid for a refrigerating machine, and (3) a working fluid for a refrigerating machine containing a refrigeration oil. In the present specification, of these three embodiments, the composition (2) is referred to as a “refrigerant composition” so as to distinguish it from a refrigerant itself (including a mixture of refrigerants). Further, the working fluid for a refrigerating machine (3) is referred to as a “refrigeration oil-containing working fluid” so as to distinguish it from the “refrigerant composition.”
- In the present specification, when the term “alternative” is used in a context in which the first refrigerant is replaced with the second refrigerant, the first type of “alternative” means that equipment designed for operation using the first refrigerant can be operated using the second refrigerant under optimum conditions, optionally with changes of only a few parts (at least one of the following: refrigeration oil, gasket, packing, expansion valve, dryer, and other parts) and equipment adjustment. In other words, this type of alternative means that the same equipment is operated with an alternative refrigerant. Embodiments of this type of “alternative” include “drop-in alternative,” “nearly drop-in alternative,” and “retrofit,” in the order in which the extent of changes and adjustment necessary for replacing the first refrigerant with the second refrigerant is smaller.
- The term “alternative” also includes a second type of “alternative,” which means that equipment designed for operation using the second refrigerant is operated for the same use as the existing use with the first refrigerant by using the second refrigerant. This type of alternative means that the same use is achieved with an alternative refrigerant.
- In the present specification, the term “refrigerating machine” refers to machines in general that draw heat from an object or space to make its temperature lower than the temperature of ambient air, and maintain a low temperature. In other words, refrigerating machines refer to conversion machines that gain energy from the outside to do work, and that perform energy conversion, in order to transfer heat from where the temperature is lower to where the temperature is higher.
- In the present specification, a refrigerant having a “WCF lower flammability” means that the most flammable composition (worst case of formulation for flammability: WCF) has a burning velocity of 10 cm/s or less according to the US ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2013. Further, in the present specification, a refrigerant having “ASHRAE lower flammability” means that the burning velocity of WCF is 10 cm/s or less, that the most flammable fraction composition (worst case of fractionation for flammability: WCFF), which is specified by performing a leakage test during storage, shipping, or use based on ANSI/ASHRAE 34-2013 using WCF, has a burning velocity of 10 cm/s or less, and that flammability classification according to the US ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2013 is determined to classified as be “Class 2L.”
- In the present specification, a refrigerant having an “RCL of x % or more” means that the refrigerant has a refrigerant concentration limit (RCL), calculated in accordance with the US ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2013, of x % or more. RCL refers to a concentration limit in the air in consideration of safety factors. RCL is an index for reducing the risk of acute toxicity, suffocation, and flammability in a closed space where humans are present. RCL is determined in accordance with the ASHRAE Standard. More specifically, RCL is the lowest concentration among the acute toxicity exposure limit (ATEL), the oxygen deprivation limit (ODL), and the flammable concentration limit (FCL), which are respectively calculated in accordance with sections 7.1.1, 7.1.2, and 7.1.3 of the ASHRAE Standard.

- The GWP of R1234yf and a composition consisting of a mixed refrigerant R410A (R32=50%/R125=50%) was evaluated based on the values stated in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), fourth report. The GWP of HFO-1132(E), which was not stated therein, was assumed to be 1 from HFO-1132a (GWP=1 or less) and HFO-1123 (GWP=0.3, described in Patent Literature 1). The refrigerating capacity of R410A and compositions each comprising a mixture of HFO-1132(E), HFO-1123, and R1234yf was determined by performing theoretical refrigeration cycle calculations for the mixed refrigerants using the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) and Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties Database (Refprop 9.0) under the following conditions.
- Further, the RCL of the mixture was calculated with the LFL of HFO-1132(E) being 4.7 vol. %, the LFL of HFO-1123 being 10 vol. %, and the LFL of R1234yf being 6.2 vol. %, in accordance with the ASHRAE Standard 34-2013.
- Evaporating temperature: 5° C.
- Condensation temperature: 45° C.
- Degree of superheating: 5 K
- Degree of subcooling: 5 K
- Compressor efficiency: 70%
- Tables 1 to 34 show these values together with the GWP of each mixed refrigerant.

- The GWP of compositions each comprising a mixture of R410A (R32=50%/R125=50%) was evaluated based on the values stated in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), fourth report. The GWP of HFO-1132(E), which was not stated therein, was assumed to be 1 from HFO-1132a (GWP=1 or less) and HFO-1123 (GWP=0.3, described in Patent Literature 1). The refrigerating capacity of compositions each comprising R410A and a mixture of HFO-1132(E) and HFO-1123 was determined by performing theoretical refrigeration cycle calculations for the mixed refrigerants using the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) and Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties Database (Refprop 9.0) under the following conditions.
- For each of these mixed refrigerants, the COP ratio and the refrigerating capacity ratio relative to those of R410 were obtained. Calculation was conducted under the following conditions.
- Evaporating temperature: 5° C.
- Condensation temperature: 45° C.
- Superheating temperature: 5 K
- Subcooling temperature: 5 K
- Compressor efficiency: 70%
- Tables 39 to 96 show the resulting values together with the GWP of each mixed refrigerant. The COP and refrigerating capacity are ratios relative to R410A.
- The coefficient of performance (COP) was determined by the following formula.
-
COP=(refrigerating capacity or heating capacity)/power consumption -

- When the mass % of HFO-1132(E), HFO-1123, R1234yf, and R32 based on their sum is respectively represented by x, y, z, and a, in a ternary composition diagram in which the sum of HFO-1132(E), HFO-1123, and R1234yf is (100−a) mass %, a straight line connecting a point (0.0, 100.0−a, 0.0) and a point (0.0, 0.0, 100.0−a) is the base, and the point (0.0, 100.0−a, 0.0) is on the left side, if 0<a≤11.1, coordinates (x,y,z) in the ternary composition diagram are on, or on the left side of, a straight line AB that connects point A (0.0134a2−1.9681a+68.6, 0.0, −0.0134a2+0.9681a+31.4) and point B (0.0, 0.0144a2−1.6377a+58.7, −0.0144a2+0.6377a+41.3);
- if 11.1<a≤18.2, coordinates (x,y,z) in the ternary composition diagram are on, or on the left side of, a straight line AB that connects point A (0.0112a2−1.9337a+68.484, 0.0, −0.0112a2+0.9337a+31.516) and point B (0.0, 0.0075a2−1.5156a+58.199, −0.0075a2+0.5156a+41.801);

- Actual points having a refrigerating capacity ratio of 85% or more form a curved line that connects point A and point B in
FIG. 3 , and that extends toward the 1234yf side. Accordingly, when coordinates are on, or on the left side of, the straight line AB, the refrigerating capacity ratio relative to R410A is 85% or more. - Similarly, it was also found that in the ternary composition diagram, if 0<a≤11.1, when coordinates (x,y,z) are on, or on the left side of, a straight line D′C that connects point D′ (0.0, 0.0224a2+0.968a+75.4, −0.0224a2−1.968a+24.6) and point C (−0.2304a2−0.4062a+32.9, 0.2304a2−0.5938a+67.1, 0.0); or if 11.1<a≤46.7, when coordinates are in the entire region, the COP ratio relative to that of R410A is 92.5% or more.
- In
FIG. 3 , the COP ratio of 92.5% or more forms a curved line CD. InFIG. 3 , an approximate line formed by connecting three points: point C (32.9, 67.1, 0.0) and points (26.6, 68.4, 5) (19.5, 70.5, 10) where the COP ratio is 92.5% when the concentration of R1234yf is 5 mass % and 10 mass was obtained, and a straight line that connects point C and point D′ (0, 75.4, 24.6), which is the intersection of the approximate line and a point where the concentration of HFO-1132(E) is 0.0 mass % was defined as a line segment D′C. InFIG. 4 , point D′(0, 83.4, 9.5) was similarly obtained from an approximate curve formed by connecting point C (18.4, 74.5, 0) and points (13.9, 76.5, 2.5) (8.7, 79.2, 5) where the COP ratio is 92.5%, and a straight line that connects point C and point D′ was defined as the straight line D′C. - The composition of each mixture was defined as WCF. A leak simulation was performed using NIST Standard Reference Database REFLEAK Version 4.0 under the conditions of Equipment, Storage, Shipping, Leak, and Recharge according to the ASHRAE Standard 34-2013. The most flammable fraction was defined as WCFF.
- For the flammability, the burning velocity was measured according to the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2013. Both WCF and WCFF having a burning velocity of 10 cm/s or less were determined to be classified as “Class 2L (lower flammability).”
- A burning velocity test was performed using the apparatus shown in
FIG. 1 in the following manner. First, the mixed refrigerants used had a purity of 99.5% or more, and were degassed by repeating a cycle of freezing, pumping, and thawing until no traces of air were observed on the vacuum gauge. The burning velocity was measured by the closed method. The initial temperature was ambient temperature. Ignition was performed by generating an electric spark between the electrodes in the center of a sample cell. The duration of the discharge was 1.0 to 9.9 ms, and the ignition energy was typically about 0.1 to 1.0 J. The spread of the flame was visualized using schlieren photographs. A cylindrical container (inner diameter: 155 mm, length: 198 mm) equipped with two light transmission acrylic windows was used as the sample cell, and a xenon lamp was used as the light source. Schlieren images of the flame were recorded by a high-speed digital video camera at a frame rate of 600 fps and stored on a PC. - The results are shown in Tables 97 to 104.

The most flammable fraction was defined as WCFF.
- A burning velocity test was performed using the apparatus shown in
FIG. 1 in the following manner. First, the mixed refrigerants used had a purity of 99.5% or more, and were degassed by repeating a cycle of freezing, pumping, and thawing until no traces of air were observed on the vacuum gauge. The burning velocity was measured by the closed method. The initial temperature was ambient temperature. Ignition was performed by generating an electric spark between the electrodes in the center of a sample cell. The duration of the discharge was 1.0 to 9.9 ms, and the ignition energy was typically about 0.1 to 1.0 J. The spread of the flame was visualized using schlieren photographs. A cylindrical container (inner diameter: 155 mm, length: 198 mm) equipped with two light transmission acrylic windows was used as the sample cell, and a xenon lamp was used as the light source. Schlieren images of the flame were recorded by a high-speed digital video camera at a frame rate of 600 fps and stored on a PC. Tables 113 to 115 show the results. -

- the line segments Oc, da, and aO are straight lines. When the requirements above are satisfied, the refrigerant according to the present disclosure has a COP ratio of 95% or more relative to that of R410A, and a GWP of 65 or less.
- The refrigerant E according to the present disclosure may further comprise other additional refrigerants in addition to HFO-1132(E), HFO-1123, and R32, as long as the above properties and effects are not impaired. In this respect, the refrigerant according to the present disclosure preferably comprises HFO-1132(E), HFO-1123, and R32 in a total amount of 99.5 mass % or more, more preferably 99.75 mass % or more, and even more preferably 99.9 mass % or more, based on the entire refrigerant.
- Such additional refrigerants are not limited, and can be selected from a wide range of refrigerants. The mixed refrigerant may comprise a single additional refrigerant, or two or more additional refrigerants.
- The present disclosure is described in more detail below with reference to Examples of refrigerant E. However, the refrigerant E is not limited to the Examples.
- Mixed refrigerants were prepared by mixing HFO-1132(E), HFO-1123, and R32 at mass % based on their sum shown in Tables 145 and 146.
- The composition of each mixture was defined as WCF. A leak simulation was performed using National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Data Base Refleak Version 4.0 under the conditions for equipment, storage, shipping, leak, and recharge according to the ASHRAE Standard 34-2013. The most flammable fraction was defined as WCFF.
- For each mixed refrigerant, the burning velocity was measured according to the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2013. When the burning velocities of the WCF composition and the WCFF composition are 10 cm/s or less, the flammability of such a refrigerant is classified as Class 2L (lower flammability) in the ASHRAE flammability classification.
- A burning velocity test was performed using the apparatus shown in
FIG. 1 in the following manner. First, the mixed refrigerants used had a purity of 99.5% or more, and were degassed by repeating a cycle of freezing, pumping, and thawing until no traces of air were observed on the vacuum gauge. The burning velocity was measured by the closed method. The initial temperature was ambient temperature. Ignition was performed by generating an electric spark between the electrodes in the center of a sample cell. The duration of the discharge was 1.0 to 9.9 ms, and the ignition energy was typically about 0.1 to 1.0 J. The spread of the flame was visualized using schlieren photographs. A cylindrical container (inner diameter: 155 mm, length: 198 mm) equipped with two light transmission acrylic windows was used as the sample cell, and a xenon lamp was used as the light source. Schlieren images of the flame were recorded by a high-speed digital video camera at a frame rate of 600 fps and stored on a PC. - Tables 145 and 146 show the results.

- point I (72.0, 28.0, 0.0),
- point K (48.4, 33.2, 18.4), and
- point L (35.5, 27.5, 37.0);
- the line segment IK is represented by coordinates (0.025z2−1.7429z+72.00, −0.025z2+0.7429z+28.00, z), and
- the line segment KL is represented by coordinates (0.0098z2−1.238z+67.852, −0.0098z2+0.238z+32.148, z),
- it can be determined that the refrigerant has WCF lower flammability.
- For the points on the line segment 1K, an approximate curve (x=0.025z2−1.7429z+72.00) was obtained from three points, i.e., I (72.0, 28.0, 0.0), J (57.7, 32.8, 9.5), and K (48.4, 33.2, 18.4) by using the least-square method to determine coordinates (x=0.025z2−1.7429z+72.00, y=100−z−x=−0.00922z2+0.2114z+32.443, z).
- Likewise, for the points on the line segment KL, an approximate curve was determined from three points, i.e., K (48.4, 33.2, 18.4), Example 10 (41.1, 31.2, 27.7), and L (35.5, 27.5, 37.0) by using the least-square method to determine coordinates.
- The results in Table 146 indicate that in a ternary composition diagram of a mixed refrigerant of HFO-1132(E), HFO-1123, and R32 in which their sum is 100 mass %, a line segment connecting a point (0.0, 100.0, 0.0) and a point (0.0, 0.0, 100.0) is the base, the point (0.0, 100.0, 0.0) is on the left side, and the point (0.0, 0.0, 100.0) is on the right side, when coordinates (x,y,z) are on or below line segments MP and PQ that connect the following 3 points:
- point M (47.1, 52.9, 0.0),
- point P (31.8, 49.8, 18.4), and
- point Q (28.6, 34.4, 37.0),
it can be determined that the refrigerant has ASHRAE lower flammability. - In the above, the line segment MP is represented by coordinates (0.0083z2−0.984z+47.1, −0.0083z2−0.016z+52.9, z), and the line segment PQ is represented by coordinates (0.0135z2−0.9181z+44.133, −0.0135z2−0.0819z+55.867, z).
- For the points on the line segment MP, an approximate curve was obtained from three points, i.e., points M, N, and P, by using the least-square method to determine coordinates. For the points on the line segment PQ, an approximate curve was obtained from three points, i.e., points P, U, and Q, by using the least-square method to determine coordinates.
- The GWP of compositions each comprising a mixture of R410A (R32=50%/R125=50%) was evaluated based on the values stated in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), fourth report. The GWP of HFO-1132(E), which was not stated therein, was assumed to be 1 from HFO-1132a (GWP=1 or less) and HFO-1123 (GWP=0.3, described in Patent Literature 1). The refrigerating capacity of compositions each comprising R410A and a mixture of HFO-1132(E) and HFO-1123 was determined by performing theoretical refrigeration cycle calculations for the mixed refrigerants using the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) and Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties Database (Refprop 9.0) under the following conditions.
- The COP ratio and the refrigerating capacity (which may be referred to as “cooling capacity” or “capacity”) ratio relative to those of R410 of the mixed refrigerants were determined. The conditions for calculation were as described below.
- Evaporating temperature: 5° C.
- Condensation temperature: 45° C.
- Degree of superheating: 5K
- Degree of subcooling: 5K
- Compressor efficiency: 70%
- Tables 147 to 166 show these values together with the GWP of each mixed refrigerant.

- The
controller 7 determines whether the operation mode is the cooling operation mode or the heating operation mode and performs the selected operation mode based on an instruction received from the remote control unit, or the like. - (6-4-1) Cooling Operation Mode
- In the
air conditioner 1, in the cooling operation mode, the status of connection of the four-way valve 22 is set to the cooling operation connection state where the discharge side of thecompressor 21 and theoutdoor heat exchanger 23 are connected and the suction side of thecompressor 21 and the gas-side stop valve 28 are connected, and refrigerant filled in therefrigerant circuit 10 is mainly circulated in order of thecompressor 21, theoutdoor heat exchanger 23, theoutdoor expansion valve 24, and theindoor heat exchanger 31. - More specifically, when the cooling operation mode is started, refrigerant is taken into the
compressor 21, compressed, and then discharged in therefrigerant circuit 10. - In the
compressor 21, displacement control commensurate with a cooling load that is required from theindoor unit 30 is performed. Gas refrigerant discharged from thecompressor 21 passes through the four-way valve 22 and flows into the gas-side end of theoutdoor heat exchanger 23. - Gas refrigerant having flowed into the gas-side end of the
outdoor heat exchanger 23 exchanges heat in theoutdoor heat exchanger 23 with outdoor-side air that is supplied by theoutdoor fan 25 to condense into liquid refrigerant and flows out from the liquid-side end of theoutdoor heat exchanger 23. - Refrigerant having flowed out from the liquid-side end of the
outdoor heat exchanger 23 is decompressed when passing through theoutdoor expansion valve 24. Theoutdoor expansion valve 24 is controlled such that the degree of sub cooling of refrigerant that passes through a liquid-side outlet of theoutdoor heat exchanger 23 satisfies a predetermined condition. - Refrigerant decompressed in the
outdoor expansion valve 24 passes through the liquid-side stop valve 29 and the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and flows into theindoor unit 30. - Refrigerant having flowed into the
indoor unit 30 flows into theindoor heat exchanger 31, exchanges heat in theindoor heat exchanger 31 with indoor air that is supplied by theindoor fan 32 to evaporate into gas refrigerant, and flows out from the gas-side end of theindoor heat exchanger 31. Gas refrigerant having flowed out from the gas-side end of theindoor heat exchanger 31 flows to the gas-side connection pipe 5. - Refrigerant having flowed through the gas-
side connection pipe 5 passes through the gas-side stop valve 28 and the four-way valve 22, and is taken into thecompressor 21 again. - (6-4-2) Heating Operation Mode
- In the
air conditioner 1, in the heating operation mode, the status of connection of the four-way valve 22 is set to the heating operation connection state where the discharge side of thecompressor 21 and the gas-side stop valve 28 are connected and the suction side of thecompressor 21 and theoutdoor heat exchanger 23 are connected, and refrigerant filled in therefrigerant circuit 10 is mainly circulated in order of thecompressor 21, theindoor heat exchanger 31, theoutdoor expansion valve 24, and theoutdoor heat exchanger 23. - More specifically, when the heating operation mode is started, refrigerant is taken into the
compressor 21, compressed, and then discharged in therefrigerant circuit 10. - In the
compressor 21, displacement control commensurate with a heating load that is required from theindoor unit 30 is performed. Here, for example, at least any one of the drive frequency of thecompressor 21 and the volume of air of theoutdoor fan 25 is controlled such that the maximum value of the pressure in therefrigerant circuit 10 is lower than 1.5 times the design pressure of the gas-side connection pipe 5. Gas refrigerant discharged from thecompressor 21 flows through the four-way valve 22 and the gas-side connection pipe 5 and then flows into theindoor unit 30. - Refrigerant having flowed into the
indoor unit 30 flows into the gas-side end of theindoor heat exchanger 31, exchanges heat in theindoor heat exchanger 31 with indoor air that is supplied by theindoor fan 32 to condense into refrigerant in a gas-liquid two-phase state or liquid refrigerant, and flows out from the liquid-side end of theindoor heat exchanger 31. Refrigerant having flowed out from the liquid-side end of theindoor heat exchanger 31 flows into the liquid-side connection pipe 6. - Refrigerant having flowed through the liquid-
side connection pipe 6 is decompressed to a low pressure in the refrigeration cycle in the liquid-side stop valve 29 and theoutdoor expansion valve 24. Theoutdoor expansion valve 24 is controlled such that the degree of subcooling of refrigerant that passes through a liquid-side outlet of theindoor heat exchanger 31 satisfies a predetermined condition. Refrigerant decompressed in theoutdoor expansion valve 24 flows into the liquid-side end of theoutdoor heat exchanger 23. - Refrigerant having flowed in from the liquid-side end of the
outdoor heat exchanger 23 exchanges heat in theoutdoor heat exchanger 23 with outdoor air that is supplied by theoutdoor fan 25 to evaporate into gas refrigerant, and flows out from the gas-side end of theoutdoor heat exchanger 23. - Refrigerant having flowed out from the gas-side end of the
outdoor heat exchanger 23 passes through the four-way valve 22 and is taken into thecompressor 21 again. - In the above-described
air conditioner 1, since refrigerant containing 1,2-difluoroethylene is used, a GWP can be sufficiently reduced. - The
air conditioner 1 uses theoutdoor unit 20 of which the design pressure is lower than 1.5 times the design pressure of each of the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and the gas-side connection pipe 5. In the outdoorunit control unit 27 of theoutdoor unit 20 of theair conditioner 1, the upper limit of the controlled pressure of the refrigerant is set so as to be lower than 1.5 times the design pressure of each of the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and the gas-side connection pipe 5. Therefore, even when the above-described specific refrigerants A to E are used, damage to the liquid-side connection pipe 6 or the gas-side connection pipe 5 can be reduced. - In the above-described first embodiment, the air conditioner including only one indoor unit is described as an example; however, the air conditioner may include a plurality of indoor units (with no indoor expansion valve) connected in parallel with each other.

outdoor unit 20 is lower than 1.5 times the design pressure of each of the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and the gas-side connection pipe 5 and the outdoorunit control unit 27 of theoutdoor unit 20 is set such that the upper limit of the controlled pressure of the refrigerant is lower than 1.5 times the design pressure of each of the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and the gas-side connection pipe 5 is described as an example. - In contrast to this, for example, even when the
outdoor unit 20 has a design pressure higher than or equal to 1.5 times the design pressure of each of the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and the gas-side connection pipe 5 but theoutdoor unit 20 includes the outdoorunit control unit 27 that is configured to be able to select the upper limit of the controlled pressure of the refrigerant from among multiple types and that is able to set the upper limit of the controlled pressure of the refrigerant such that the upper limit is lower than 1.5 times the design pressure of each of the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and the gas-side connection pipe 5, theoutdoor unit 20 can be used in theair conditioner 1 of the above-described embodiment. - Hereinafter, an

outdoor unit 20 of theair conditioner 1 a of the second embodiment, a firstoutdoor fan 25 a and a secondoutdoor fan 25 b are provided as theoutdoor fans 25. Theoutdoor heat exchanger 23 of theoutdoor unit 20 of theair conditioner 1 a has a wide heat exchange area so as to adapt to air flow coming from the firstoutdoor fan 25 a and the secondoutdoor fan 25 b. Theoutdoor unit 20, as in the case of the above-described first embodiment, has a design pressure (gauge pressure) that is lower than 1.5 times the design pressure of each of the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and the gas-side connection pipe 5 (the withstanding pressure of each of the liquid-side connection pipe 6 and the gas-side connection pipe 5). The design pressure of theoutdoor unit 20 may be, for example, higher than or equal to 4.0 MPa and lower than or equal to 4.5 MPa. - In the
outdoor unit 20 of theair conditioner 1 a, instead of theoutdoor expansion valve 24 of theoutdoor unit 20 in the above-described first embodiment, a firstoutdoor expansion valve 44, anintermediate pressure receiver 41, and a secondoutdoor expansion valve 45 are sequentially provided between the liquid side of theoutdoor heat exchanger 23 and the liquid-side stop valve 29. The firstoutdoor expansion valve 44 and the secondoutdoor expansion valve 45 each are able to control the valve opening degree. Theintermediate pressure receiver 41 is a container that is able to store refrigerant. Both an end portion of a pipe extending from the firstoutdoor expansion valve 44 side and an end portion of a pipe extending from the secondoutdoor expansion valve 45 side are located in the internal space of theintermediate pressure receiver 41.
