  • the first refrigerant flow path 26a to the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f are connected in parallel to each other via the refrigerant flow distributor 65 and the header 67; when the outdoor heat exchanger 26 functions as a condenser of the refrigerant, all of the refrigerant flow paths function as condensers of the refrigerant, and when the outdoor heat exchanger 26 functions as an evaporator of the refrigerant, all of the refrigerant flow paths function as evaporators of the refrigerant.
  • these pipe members 64a to 64f, 65, 66a to 66f and 67 are disposed in a space on the right side plate 57 side of the tube plate 63 -- that is, in a space inside the machine chamber S2 surrounded by the tube plate 63 and the right side plate 57.
  • the header 67 is a pipe member that extends from the first refrigerant flow path 26a to the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f of the outdoor heat exchanger 26, and the end portion of the header 67 is connected to the first gas refrigerant pipe 25.
  • Each of the header communication pipes 66a to 66f is a pipe member that extends towards the header 67 from the other end side of each of the refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26f.
  • the refrigerant flow distributor 65 is a pipe member that causes the first to sixth capillary tubes 64a to 64f that are connected to the one end side of each of the refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26f to merge, and the refrigerant flow distributor 65 mainly includes a flow distributor body 65a and a nozzle portion 65b.
  • the flow distributor body 65a is a substantially cylindrical portion, with the first to sixth capillary tubes 64a to 64f being connected to the upper end thereof and the nozzle portion 65b being formed on the lower end thereof.
  • the nozzle portion 65b is a U-shaped pipe member through which flows refrigerant after the refrigerant has merged in the flow distributor body 65a, and the end portion of the nozzle portion 65b is connected to the liquid refrigerant pipe 27.
  • the first capillary tube 64a extends downward from the one end side of the first refrigerant flow path 26a, then reverses and extends upward, then again reverses and extends downward, and is connected to the upper end of the flow distributor body 65a.
  • the second capillary tube 64b extends upward from the one end side of the second refrigerant flow path 26b, then reverses and extends downward, and is connected to the upper end of the flow distributor body 65a.
  • the third capillary tube 64c extends upward from the one end side of the third refrigerant flow path 26c, then reverses and extends downward, and is connected to the upper end of the flow distributor body 65a.
  • the fourth capillary tube 64d extends upward from the one end side of the fourth refrigerant flow path 26d, then reverses and extends downward, and is connected to the upper end of the flow distributor body 65a.
  • the fifth capillary tube 64e extends upward from the one end side of the fifth refrigerant flow path 26e, then reverses and extends downward, and is connected to the upper end of the flow distributor body 65a.
  • a horizontal U-shaped portion 68 having a shape that extends upward from the one end side of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f, then extends in a horizontal direction and then reverses, and a vertical U-shaped portion 69 having a shape that extends in the vertical direction and then reverses is formed after the horizontal U-shaped portion 68.
  • the horizontal U-shaped portion 68 extends in the direction of the right side surface of the unit casing 51.
  • a height h1 from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f serving as the refrigerant flow path of the lowermost stage to the upper end of the refrigerant flow distributor 65 is equal to or less than 1/4 times a height H from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to the upper end of the first refrigerant flow path 26a serving as the refrigerant flow path of the uppermost stage.
  • a height h2 from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to the upper end of the sixth capillary tube 64f is equal to or less than 1/2 times the height H.
  • a length L6 of the sixth capillary tube 64f is equal to or greater than 2/5 times a length Lx of the longest capillary tube of the other capillary tubes 64a to 64e excluding the sixth capillary tube 64f.
  • the four-way switch valve 24 of the refrigerant circuit 10 is in the state indicated by the solid lines in FIG. 1 , that is, a state where the discharge pipe 23 is connected to the first gas refrigerant pipe 25 and where the suction pipe 21 is connected to the second gas refrigerant pipe 30. Further, the liquid close valve 29 and the gas close valve 31 are opened, and the opening of the expansion valve 28 is adjusted to depressurize the refrigerant.
  • the high pressure gas refrigerant that has been discharged into the discharge pipe 23 is sent to the outdoor heat exchanger 26 through the four-way switch valve 24 and the first gas refrigerant pipe 25, is cooled and condensed by heat exchange with outdoor air, becomes high pressure liquid refrigerant, and is sent to the liquid refrigerant pipe 27. More specifically, the high pressure gas refrigerant flowing into the header 67 from the first gas refrigerant pipe 25 is distributed to each of the refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26f of the outdoor heat exchanger 26 via the header communication pipes 66a to 66f.
  • this high pressure gas refrigerant is cooled and condensed by heat exchange with outdoor air inside each of the refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26f, becomes high pressure liquid refrigerant, merges in the refrigerant flow distributor 65 via the capillary tubes 64a to 64f, and is sent to the liquid refrigerant pipe 27.
  • the horizontal U-shaped portion 68 and the vertical U-shaped portion 69 are formed in the sixth capillary tube 64f, whereby the height h1 from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f serving as the refrigerant flow path of the lowermost stage to the upper end of the refrigerant flow distributor 65 becomes smaller (specifically, equal to or less than 1/4 times the height H), so it becomes easier for the refrigerant inside the refrigerant flow path of the lowermost stage to flow. For this reason, a situation where the liquid refrigerant accumulates in the sixth refrigerant flow path 26a and the subcooling degree becomes excessively large can be prevented.
  • the height h2 from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to the upper end of the sixth capillary tube 64f is equal to or less than 1/2 times the height H, so it becomes even easier for the refrigerant inside the refrigerant flow path of the lowermost stage to flow.
  • the high pressure liquid refrigerant that has been sent to the liquid refrigerant pipe 27 is depressurized in the expansion valve 28, becomes refrigerant in a low pressure gas-liquid two-phase state, and is sent to the indoor heat exchanger 41 through the liquid refrigerant pipe 27, the liquid close valve 29 and the liquid refrigerant communication pipe 5.
  • the refrigerant in the low pressure gas-liquid two-phase state that has been sent to the indoor heat exchanger 41 is heated and evaporated by heat exchange with indoor air, becomes low pressure gas refrigerant, is returned to the suction pipe 21 through the gas refrigerant communication pipe 6, the gas close valve 31, the second gas refrigerant pipe 30 and the four-way switch valve 24, and is again sucked into the compressor 22.
  • the four-way switch valve 24 of the refrigerant circuit 10 is in the state indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. 1 , that is, a state where the discharge pipe 23 is connected to the second gas refrigerant pipe 30 and where the suction pipe 21 is connected to the first gas refrigerant pipe 25. Further, the liquid close valve 29 and the gas close valve 31 are opened, and the opening of the expansion valve 28 is adjusted to depressurize the refrigerant.
  • the high pressure gas refrigerant that has been discharged into the discharge pipe 23 is sent to the indoor heat exchanger 41 through the four-way switch valve 24, the second gas refrigerant pipe 30, the gas close valve 31 and the gas refrigerant communication pipe 6, is cooled and condensed by heat exchange with the indoor air, becomes high pressure liquid refrigerant, and is sent to the expansion valve 28 through the liquid refrigerant communication pipe 5, the liquid close valve 29 and the liquid refrigerant pipe 27.
  • the high pressure liquid refrigerant that has been sent to the expansion valve 28 is depressurized in the expansion valve 28, becomes refrigerant in a low pressure gas-liquid two-phase state, and is sent to the outdoor heat exchanger 26 through the liquid refrigerant pipe 27.
  • the refrigerant in the low pressure gas-liquid two-phase state that has been sent to the outdoor heat exchanger 26 is heated and evaporated by heat exchange with the outdoor air, becomes low pressure gas refrigerant, and is sent to the first gas refrigerant pipe 25. More specifically, the refrigerant in the low pressure gas-liquid two-phase state flowing into the refrigerant flow distributor 65 from the liquid refrigerant pipe 27 is distributed to each of the refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26f of the outdoor heat exchanger 26 via the capillary tubes 64a to 64f.
  • the refrigerant in the low pressure gas-liquid two-phase state is heated and evaporated by heat exchange with outdoor air inside each of the refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26f, becomes low pressure gas refrigerant, merges in the header 67 via the header communication pipes 66a to 66f, and is sent to the first gas refrigerant pipe 25.
  • the length L6 of the sixth capillary tube 64f is equal to or greater than 2/5 times the length Lx of the longest capillary tube of the other capillary tubes 64a to 64e, so pressure loss of the refrigerant flowing from the refrigerant flow distributor 65 into the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f via the sixth capillary tube 64f can be secured as much as possible and maldistribution of the refrigerant between the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f and the other refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26e can be controlled.
  • the low pressure gas refrigerant that has been sent to the first gas refrigerant pipe 25 is returned to the suction pipe 21 through the four-way switch valve 24 and is again sucked into the compressor 22.
  • the outdoor heat exchanger 26 of the present embodiment has the following characteristics.
  • the height distance from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f serving as the refrigerant flow path of the lowermost stage to the upper end of the refrigerant flow distributor 65 was made smaller by forming the horizontal U-shaped portion 68 and the vertical U-shaped portion 69 in the sixth capillary tube 64f, but as shown in FIG.
  • a coil portion 70 having a shape formed by coiling part of the sixth capillary tube 64f may be formed to thereby make the height h1 from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to the upper end of the refrigerant flow distributor 65 equal to or less than 1/4 times the height H from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to the upper end of the first refrigerant flow path 26a serving as the refrigerant flow path of the uppermost stage.
  • the length L6 of the sixth capillary tube 64f can be varied by adjusting the number of coils of the coil portion 70, so it is easy to make the length L6 equal to or greater than 2/5 times the length Lx of the longest capillary tube, and it is also possible, for example, to make the length L6 the same length as the length Lx of the longest capillary tube.
  • the effect of securing, as much as possible, pressure loss of the refrigerant flowing from the refrigerant flow distributor 65 into the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f via the sixth capillary tube 64f and controlling maldistribution of the refrigerant between the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f and the other refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26e can also be improved even more.
  • the height distance from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f serving as the refrigerant flow path of the lowermost stage to the upper end of the refrigerant flow distributor 65 was made smaller by forming the horizontal U-shaped portion 68 and the vertical U-shaped portion 69 or by forming the coil portion 70 in the sixth capillary tube 64f, but as shown in FIG.
  • the height h1 from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to the upper end of the refrigerant flow distributor 65 may also be made equal to or less than 1/4 times the height H from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to the upper end of the first refrigerant flow path 26a serving as the refrigerant flow path of the uppermost stage without disposing the horizontal U-shaped portion 68.
  • the height h2 from the lower end of the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to the upper end of the sixth capillary tube 64f becomes larger than the height h2 in the preceding embodiment and modification 1, so the effect of making it easier for the refrigerant inside the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f to flow becomes somewhat smaller, but basically effects that are the same as those of the preceding embodiment and modification 1 are obtained.
  • the length L6 of the sixth capillary tube 64f equal to or greater than 2/5 times the length Lx of the longest capillary tube; thus, similar to the preceding embodiment and modification 1, when the outdoor heat exchanger 26 is caused to function as an evaporator of the refrigerant, the effect of securing, as much as possible, pressure loss of the refrigerant flowing from the refrigerant flow distributor 65 into the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f via the sixth capillary tube 64f and controlling maldistribution of the refrigerant between the sixth refrigerant flow path 26f and the other refrigerant flow paths 26a to 26e can also be obtained.
  • the horizontal U-shaped portion 68 and the vertical U-shaped portion 69 were formed in the sixth capillary tube 64f, one each of the horizontal U-shaped portion 68 and the vertical U-shaped portion 69 were formed, but the invention is not limited to this, and the horizontal U-shaped portion 68 and the vertical U-shaped portion 69 may also be plurally formed.
  • the invention may also have a configuration where the preceding embodiment and modification 1 are combined -- that is, where the horizontal U-shaped portion 68, the vertical U-shaped portion 69 and the coil portion 70 are disposed in the sixth capillary tube 64f.
  • a heat exchanger for an outdoor unit that has a structure where plural mutually independent refrigerant flow paths are arranged in multiple stages in a vertical direction and where one end of each of these plural refrigerant flow paths is connected to a refrigerant flow distributor via a capillary tube, a situation where liquid refrigerant accumulates in the refrigerant flow path of the lowermost stage and the subcooling degree ends up becoming excessively large when the heat exchanger is caused to function as a condenser of refrigerant.
