PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner in which the sound of refrigerant generated from within an indoor device kept under its non-heating operation is muffled during a heating operation, the refrigerant stayed in the indoor device is recovered to enable comfortable air conditioning and heating capability to be maintained. SOLUTION: This air conditioner comprises a refrigerant circuit in which an accumulator 6, a compressor 1, a four-way changing-over valve 2 and a heat source side heat exchanger 3 constituting a heat source machine A, throttle devices 4a to 4c having variable degree of openings constituting each of a plurality of indoor devices Ba to Bc connected in parallel in respect to the heat source machine A, and indoor side heat exchangers 5a to 5c are connected in sequence by pipings, wherein there are provided a remote controller 10 for individually setting either a heating operation or a stopping in operation of the indoor devices Ba to Bc for every indoor device, and a refrigerant flow rate restriction control setting switch 8 for selectively setting the throttle device to a degree of opening larger than a fully closed or a fully opened state in correspondence with the indoor device of the indoor devices Ba to Bc during the heating operation relating to a stopped state in operation set by the remote controller 10. |
