Abstract:
An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigeration cycle charged with non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture and refrigerating machine oil. A suction pipe which is a refrigerant pipe connecting between a suction port of a compressor and an accumulator has an end portion on the side of the accumulator extending into the accumulator. In addition, the suction pipe of the air-conditioning apparatus includes an oil return hole formed in a portion of the suction pipe located inside the accumulator at a position higher than a central portion of the accumulator. A controller of the air-conditioning apparatus controls an opening degree of a pressure reducing device so as to make quality of refrigerant flowing into the accumulator less than 1.
