An outdoor unit includes a part of a main refrigerant circuit formed by connecting a compressor, an indoor-unit-side heat exchanger, an electronic expansion valve, and an outdoor-unit-side heat exchanger via a main refrigerant pipe, a bypass circuit bypassing refrigerant discharged from the compressor and flowing through the main refrigerant circuit, a controller configured to control a flow rate of refrigerant flowing through the main refrigerant circuit and a flow rate of refrigerant flowing through the bypass circuit, an outdoor unit base supporting the compressor and the outdoor-unit-side heat exchanger, a snow-protection frame provided below the outdoor unit base, the snow-protection frame supporting the outdoor unit base, and a load heating unit provided to the snow-protection frame the load heating unit and configured to heat a portion around the load heating unit by exchanging heat between a heat medium flowing through the load heating unit and the refrigerant flowing through the bypass circuit. |
