Abstract: An air conditioner, in which a liquid-pressure adjustment expansion valve that decompresses a refrigerant so that the refrigerant flowing through a liquid-refrigerant connection pipe is in a gas-liquid two-phase state is provided in an outdoor liquid-refrigerant pipe that connects a liquid-side end of an outdoor heat exchanger to the liquid-refrigerant connection pipe, properly transports the refrigerant in a two-phase state while suppressing an increase in a discharge temperature of a compressor. A liquid injection pipe that branches part of a refrigerant flowing through an outdoor liquid-refrigerant pipe and feeds the branched refrigerant to a compressor is connected to a portion of the outdoor liquid-refrigerant pipe on a side of an outdoor heat exchanger with respect to a liquid-pressure adjustment expansion valve.

Abstract: An air conditioning system, which is a refrigeration apparatus that performs a refrigeration cycle in a refrigerant circuit, includes an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, a first control valve, a second control valve, a third control valve, and a pressure adjusting portion. The first control valve and the second control valve, which block flow of refrigerant when fully closed, are disposed in a gas-side refrigerant flow path. The gas-side refrigerant flow path is disposed between the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger. The third control valve, which blocks flow of refrigerant when fully closed, is disposed in a liquid-side refrigerant flow path. The liquid-side refrigerant flow path is disposed between the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger. The pressure adjusting portion adjusts the pressure of refrigerant in an indoor-side refrigerant flow path.

Abstract: An electromagnetic shielding tube has a resin inner layer as the innermost layer, a resin outer layer as the outermost layer, and a metal metal-layer between the inner layer and the outer layer. The bonding strength between the outer layer and the metal layer is made weaker with respect to the bonding strength between the inner layer and the metal layer. For example, while an adhesive layer is provided between the inner layer and the metal layer, the outer layer can be directly extrusion coated onto the metal layer without providing an adhesive layer or the like between the outer layer and the metal layer.
