- the opening degree of the flow rate adjusting device 42 may be controlled so that the opening degree of the flow rate adjusting device 42 becomes larger as the detected temperature of the outside air temperature detecting means is lower. Further, the opening degree of the flow rate adjusting device 42 may be controlled so that the opening degree of the flow rate adjusting device 42 becomes larger as the detected humidity of the outside air humidity detecting means is higher.
- step S101 a reverse defrosting operation may be performed and the process may proceed to step S102.
- the control means 91 performs the cooling operation by switching the flow path switching device 3 to the cooling side.

Abstract
Description
以下、本発明の空気調和装置100について、図面を用いて詳細に説明する。なお、以下の図面では各構成部材の大きさの関係が実際のものとは異なる場合がある。また、以下の図面において、同一の符号を付したものは、同一又はこれに相当するものであり、このことは明細書の全文において共通することとする。さらに、明細書全文に表わされている構成要素の形態は、あくまでも例示であって、これらの記載に限定されるものではない。
図7は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の冷房運転モード時における冷媒回路の構成例を示す図である。なお、図7では、冷媒の流れ方向を矢印で示している。
図8は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置100の暖房運転モード時における冷媒回路の構成例を示す図である。なお、図8では、冷媒の流れ方向を矢印で示している。
このため、圧縮機1から吐出される高温の冷媒が供給されるバイパス回路41上に設けられるベース用熱交換器43がドレン穴10a2の周囲を加熱するため、ドレンがドレン穴10a2において氷結する可能性を低減することができ、従来よりもドレンの排水性を損なうことがない。また、ベース用熱交換器43を用いてドレン穴10a2の周囲を加熱するため、消費電力が嵩むこともない。また、ベース用熱交換器43は折損することもなく加熱性能が失われる可能性もない。
