FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an
冷房運転モードおよび暖房運転モードにおける、空気調和装置1の運転動作について、図1および図2を用いて説明する。図2は、空気調和装置1の冷凍サイクルを表す、冷媒のモリエル線図(圧力-エンタルピー線図)である。図2には、冷媒の乾き飽和蒸気線L1、および、冷媒の飽和液線L2が示されている。図2に示される符号A~Eにおける冷媒の状態は、それぞれ、図1において符号A~Eで示される冷房運転モードにおける冷媒の状態に対応する。 (2) Operation of Air Conditioner The operation of the
冷房運転モードでは、四方切換弁12は、図1の実線で示される状態にある。すなわち、圧縮機11の吐出側が室外熱交換器13の高温側に接続され、かつ、圧縮機11の吸入側が室内熱交換器17の高温側に接続されている。 (2-1) Cooling Operation Mode In the cooling operation mode, the four-
