A multiple type air conditioning apparatus includes a refrigerant supply unit having a variable capacity compressor, at least two internal air conditioning units each having an internal heat-exchanger and a fan device, the internal heat-exchangers of the at least two air conditioning units being connected in parallel to one another, a first variable expansion valve for variably throttling refrigerant, fed from the compressor, flowing through one of the internal heat-exchangers, a second variable expansion valve for variably throttling refrigerant, fed from the compressor, flowing through the other internal heat-exchanger and a variable flow rate control unit arranged at one side of the internal heat-exchangers from which refrigerant flows into each internal heat-exchanger in a heating operation, for regulating a distribution of refrigerant flowing into each internal heat-exchanger. The first and second variable expansion valves, and the variable flow rate control unit are controlled to maintain the refrigerant super heating of each internal heat-exchanger at a respective constant value with accuracy in a cooling operation and to supply a sufficient amount of refrigerant to the refrigerating circuit thereby achieving an appropriate heating/cooling capacity.
