Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent a reduction in performance of a multi-chamber type air conditioner from being decreased due to a leakage of high pressure refrigerant toward a low pressure side during a heating operation by a method wherein a two-way valve for connecting one of a plurality of indoor heat exchangers of a plurality of indoor devices to either a high pressure gas pipe or a low pressure gas pipe in such a way that they may be changed over is applied as a two-way valve having a releasing hole for releasing from a high pressure side to a low pressure side. CONSTITUTION:At a multi-chamber type air conditioner, refrigerant discharged from a compressor 2 of an outdoor device 1 is guided to indoor heat exchangers 9 (9a to 9c) through high pressure two-way valves 20 (20a to 20c) in the indoor devices 7a to 7c, wherein the refrigerant liquified by an outdoor heat exchanger 4 is expanded, thereafter the refrigerant is fed to each of the indoor heat exchangers 9, evaporated there and then the refrigerant is returned to the outdoor device 1 through the low pressure side two-way valves 21 (21a to 21c). In this case, each of the two-way valves 20, 21 is made to have a releasing hole a minute flow rate of liquid is leaked from the high pressure side to the low pressure side. With such an arrangement, a pressure difference across the two-way valves 20 and 21 is reduced and then the high pressure refrigerant is prevented from being leaked to the low pressure gaseous refrigerant.
