Abstract
A refrigerant channel switching unit is disposed between a heat source unit and a utilization unit to switch flow of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant channel switching unit includes a first refrigerant pipe connected to a suction gas communicating pipe, a second refrigerant pipe connected to a high-low pressure gas communicating pipe, third and fourth refrigerant pipes, and first and second electric valves mounted to the first and second refrigerant pipes, respectively. The third refrigerant pipe is connected to the first and second refrigerant pipes and a gas pipe. The fourth refrigerant pipe is connected at ends to a liquid communicating pipe and a liquid pipe. A minute channel is formed in the first or second electric valve. The minute channel enables the refrigerant to flow through the minute channel even when an opening degree of the valve is set to be the lowest degree.
