Abstract:
An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit that is formed of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected through indoor/outdoor connection pipes. The outdoor unit includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve. The indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger. Combustible refrigerant is used as refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant circuit. The outdoor unit includes a refrigerant filling-dedicated connection port to fill the refrigerant and an evacuation-dedicated connection port to evacuate the refrigerant inside the refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant filling-dedicated connection port is provided inside a machine chamber that accommodates the compressor and the expansion valve, and the evacuation-dedicated connection port is provided outside the machine chamber.
