Abstract

A second-refrigerant pump driving type air conditioner, including an indoor unit having an indoor heat exchanger that circulates a refrigerant containing no oil, a first circulator including a compressor that compresses and discharges a refrigerant containing oil, a first outdoor heat exchanger, a second outdoor heat exchanger, and an outdoor expander, and a second circulator including an intermediate heat exchanger connected to the indoor heat exchanger that circulates the refrigerant containing no oil and heat-exchanges the refrigerant of the first outdoor heat exchanger, a receiver, and a pump. A restriction of a length and a diameter of a connection pipe for connecting an outdoor unit and the indoor unit is decreased, and an oil shortage of the compressor is prevented.
