Since the refrigerant gas communication pipe and the refrigerant liquid connection pipe of this air conditioner are installed so as to connect the heat source unit and a plurality of use units, the pipe is long, and many bends and branches are formed in the middle. It has a complicated piping shape that has existed. Therefore, when updating the air conditioner, only the heat source unit and the use unit are updated, and the refrigerant gas communication pipe and the refrigerant liquid communication pipe of the existing equipment are often used as they are.

If the condensation temperature of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger or auxiliary heat exchanger on the heat source side cannot be lowered sufficiently, the refrigerant flows from the heat source side heat exchanger including the refrigerant liquid communication pipe to the use side heat exchanger. The refrigerant pressure is reduced below the allowable operating pressure of the refrigerant liquid communication pipe, but it may be condensed only to a saturated state or a gas-liquid two-phase state. For this reason, the cooling capacity of each usage unit may be reduced.
