In this state, the outdoor heat exchanger 7
Becomes unused, and a refrigerant pool is generated in the outdoor heat exchanger 7. The amount of the refrigerant reservoir varies depending on the load in the full operation state or the timing of closing the electromagnetic on-off valve or the electronic expansion valve. When the amount of refrigerant accumulated in the outdoor heat exchanger 7 is large, the amount of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is insufficient, and a decrease in cooling capacity is caused by an increase in the temperature of refrigerant discharged from the compressor 5. Alternatively, if the amount of refrigerant accumulated in the outdoor heat exchanger 7 is smaller than an appropriate amount, the amount of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit becomes excessive, and problems such as an increase in pressure of the refrigerant liquid or refrigerant vapor and liquid return occur.
