Abstract

In an air conditioner having a double-pipe heat exchanger in a refrigerating cycle, the degree of opening of a bypass expansion valve is controlled easily without liquid return to a compressor and without considering the state of a low-pressure two-phase refrigerant in the double-pipe heat exchanger. In the air conditioner including a refrigerating cycle 1A in which a heating expansion valve 51 is provided between the outdoor heat exchanger 30 and the double-pipe heat exchanger 60; a cooling expansion valve 52 is provided between the indoor heat exchanger 40 and the double-pipe heat exchanger 60; and in the double-pipe heat exchanger 60, a high-pressure liquid refrigerant flowing in a liquid-side refrigerant pipe 50 is heat-exchanged with a low-pressure two-phase refrigerant that is formed by decompressing some of the high-pressure liquid refrigerant by a bypass expansion valve 62, a low-pressure refrigerant outflow portion 60a of the double-pipe heat exchanger 60 is connected to a refrigerant pipe portion 50a between the outdoor heat exchanger 30 and the heating expansion valve 51 via a first check valve 71, and is connected to a refrigerant pipe portion 50b between the indoor heat exchanger 40 and the cooling expansion valve 52 via a second check valve 72.
