  • Publication number: 20220154949
    Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus includes an outdoor unit including an outdoor heat exchanger; an indoor unit including an indoor heat exchanger; and a relay unit provided between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit and including one or more first refrigerant supply pipes and one or more second refrigerant supply pipes that are connected to the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit. The one or more first refrigerant supply pipes and the one or more second refrigerant supply pipes protrude from the same side surface of the relay unit. The one or more first refrigerant supply pipes are each provided above an associated one of the one or more second refrigerant supply pipes. Part of the one or more first refrigerant supply pipes that protrudes from the side surface is longer than part of the one or more second refrigerant supply pipes that protrudes from the side surface.

  • Patent number: 10718547
    Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus according to the present invention includes: a heat-source-side unit including a heat-source-side heat exchanger and a compressor; a plurality of load-side units including respective load-side heat exchangers and respective load-side expansion devices; and a relay unit connected between the heat-source-side unit and the plurality of load-side units by a first gas pipe and a first liquid pipe. The relay unit includes a gas/liquid separator which separates refrigerant supplied from the heat-source-side unit into gas refrigerant and liquid refrigerant, a gas-refrigerant supply pipe and a liquid-refrigerant supply pipe which are connected to the gas/liquid separator and each of the plurality of load-side units, a drain pan which is provided in a housing of the relay unit and which receives dew-condensation water, and a heat transfer body which is provided in the drain pan and which is in contact with the liquid-refrigerant supply pipe.
