できる。Therefore, during the heating operation, the refrigerant circulates along the dotted line route in FIG. 4, and during the cooling operation, the refrigerant circulates along the solid line route. In the air conditioner Y, the direction of the refrigerant flow in the indoor heat exchanger 3 is reversed during heating and during cooling, so the efficiency is inferior accordingly, but since only one expansion valve is required, space and cost are saved. In terms of the reverse flow of the refrigerant, in particular, when the heating operation is switched to the cooling operation during the defrosting operation, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 2 that is the object to be defrosted is constant. It is the same as the case of the air conditioner X in that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the pressure fluctuation due to it and to speed up the start of the defrosting operation, and in this case as well, the electric expansion valve 6'is fully opened. Therefore, warm air can be continuously sent in the indoor heat exchanger 3.

熱交換器の効率的な使用が達成される。According to the present invention, since the six-way valve is used for switching the refrigerant flow passage, the refrigerant flow direction in the outdoor heat exchanger is cooled while the piping of the refrigerant flow passage is reduced to simplify the structure. , Because it is constant regardless of heating operation,
Efficient use of the heat exchanger is achieved.

がある。In the defrosting operation, the refrigerant can be used as it is in the heating operation without backflow in the refrigerant pipeline, and the direction of the refrigerant flow in the outdoor heat exchanger is the same as in the heating operation. This is effective in speeding up the start of defrosting operation and enabling heating operation even during defrosting operation.
