Abstract: In a refrigeration cycle apparatus, each set of air heat exchangers among plural sets of air heat exchangers is one set of one or more of single heat exchangers, and the single heat exchangers each have an upper header pipe, a lower header pipe, a heat transfer tube, and a fin. During a cooling operation, a series refrigerant flow path is formed in which refrigerant flows in series through each set of the air heat exchangers; in the series refrigerant flow path, the refrigerant flows downward from above through the heat transfer tubes that all single heat exchangers have. During a heating operation, a parallel refrigerant flow path is formed in which the refrigerant flows in parallel through each set of the air heat exchangers; in the parallel refrigerant flow path, the refrigerant flows upward from below through the heat transfer tubes that all single heat exchangers have.

Abstract: A chilling unit and a water circulation temperature control system includes a refrigerant circuit, a pipe through which a heat medium flows, a flow switching valve, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and a controller. The refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, a pair of air-side heat exchangers, an expansion valve, and a heat-medium-side heat exchanger connected to each other by pipes. The flow switching valve switches between refrigerant-circulation routes. The controller controls the compressor in accordance with a target outlet temperature, the heat medium temperature detected by the temperature sensor, and a heat medium pressure difference detected by the pressure sensor. When a load on an air handler decreases to a low level and is equal to or less than the compressor's lowest capacity, the controller controls the flow switching valve so that one of the air-side heat exchangers and the heat-medium-side heat exchanger are connected in parallel.
