  • Patent number: 9464829
    Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus including: a refrigerant circuit having a compressor, a refrigerant flow switching valve, a heat exchanger related to the heat transfer medium, an expansion valve, a heat source-side heat exchanger which is connected by a refrigerant pipe to form a refrigeration cycle, a heat transfer medium circuit having the heat exchanger related to the heat transfer medium, a pump, a plurality of use-side heat exchangers which are connected by a heat transfer medium pipe, and an opening and closing valve provided to the heat transfer medium supply pipe.

  • Patent number: 9335075
    Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus once transfers energy to a heat medium other than a refrigerant and introduces the heat medium to another refrigeration cycle to achieve safety improvement and high efficiency. An air-conditioning apparatus allows first heat exchangers related to heat medium to exchange heat between a first refrigerant (heat source side refrigerant) and a first heat medium and allows a second heat exchanger related to heat medium to exchange heat between the first heat medium and a second refrigerant (hot water supply side refrigerant), such that the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant are prevented from mixing with each other.

  • Publication number: 20130269379
    Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit in which a compressor, a refrigerant flow switching device, a refrigerant flow path of a heat exchanger related to heat medium that exchanges heat between a refrigerant and a heat medium, an expansion device, and a heat source-side heat exchanger are connected by a refrigerant pipe to form a refrigeration cycle, and a heat medium circuit in which a heat medium flow path of the heat exchanger related to heat medium, a pump, and a use-side heat exchanger are connected by a heat medium pipe. The air-conditioning apparatus includes an opening and closing device that is provided in a heat medium supply pipe that supplies the heat medium to the heat medium circuit from outside the circuit, and that passes or cuts off the heat medium flowing from the heat medium supply pipe to the heat medium circuit.
