Abstract:
An air conditioner includes a refrigerant circuit, an electromagnetic induction heating unit, and a control unit. The refrigerant circuit has a compressing mechanism with an adjustable operating capacity, a heat source side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and a utilization side heat exchanger. The electromagnetic induction heating unit heats a refrigerant piping and/or a member that is in thermal contact with a refrigerant that flows through the refrigerant piping. The control unit sets the electromagnetic induction heating unit to a forced inhibit state if any one of a condition in which the electromagnetic induction heating unit has been manually set to operation inhibited; a condition in which an air conditioning load is small; and a condition in which an amount of circulating refrigerant is small is satisfied.
