Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/116410
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This air conditioner comprises: a refrigerant circuit which comprises a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and a second heat exchanger connected by piping and through which a refrigerant is circulated; and a fluid circuit through which circulates a fluid for heat exchange with the refrigerant circulating through the refrigerant circuit in the second heat exchanger. The fluid circuit includes: a first branch circuit which connects a branch portion branching off downstream of the second heat exchanger and a connection portion located downstream from the branch portion in the direction in which the fluid flows; and a second branch circuit which connects a branch portion branching off downstream of the connection portion of the first branch circuit and a connection portion located downstream from the branch portion in the direction in which the fluid flows. The first branch circuit is provided with a third heat exchanger which performs heat exchange between the fluid flowing through the fluid circuit and outside air. The second branch circuit is provided with a heat storage tank which retains the fluid subjected to heat exchange with outside air in the third heat exchanger.
