Abstract
An air conditioning system comprises a first tank connected to an outlet side refrigerant line of an indoor unit, a second tank disposed to be lower than the first tank, middle tank installed between the first tank and the second tank, a heat source cycle for depressurizing and cooling the first refrigerant inside the first tank by circulating a second refrigerant and heating the first refrigerant of the second tank, a middle tank cooling unit for feed back connected to an inlet side refrigerant line of the second tank among refrigerant lines of the heat source cycle, a middle tank heating unit for feed back connected to a refrigerant line between the first tank and the second tank among refrigerant lines of the heat source cycle, and a controller for selectively circulating the second refrigerant of the heat source cycle to the middle tank cooling unit for feed back or the middle tank heating unit for feed back.
