AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE

An air conditioning device (1000) has: a refrigerant circuit (100) that is formed of a compressor (1), a switching valve (2), a cascade heat exchanger (3), an expansion valve (4) and an outdoor heat exchanger (5) connected to one another by a first pipe (21) through which a refrigerant flows, and ca...

Summary:An air conditioning device (1000) has: a refrigerant circuit (100) that is formed of a compressor (1), a switching valve (2), a cascade heat exchanger (3), an expansion valve (4) and an outdoor heat exchanger (5) connected to one another by a first pipe (21) through which a refrigerant flows, and capable of performing a defrosting operation in which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor (1) is introduced into the outdoor heat exchanger (5); a heat-transfer medium circuit (200) that is formed of a pump (12), the cascade heat exchanger (3), and the indoor heat exchanger (11) connected to one another by a second pipe (23) through which a heat-transfer medium flows; and a control device (31) that controls the compressor (1) and the pump (12). When an amount of heat storage of the heat-transfer medium is less than a threshold, the control device (31) reduces the heating capability of the indoor heat exchanger (11) when the air conditioning device (1000) transitions from a heating operation to the defrosting operation.
