PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner for dispersing a coolant in an outdoor heat exchanger so that the coolant may be homogenized to improve a heat exchange efficiency. ! SOLUTION: A coolant having flown from a first branch pipe 18 is vertically split by first and second pipe arrangements 19 and 20. The coolant caused to flow upward by the first pipe arrangement is connected to a second branch pipe 21, and is shunted to lee side heat transfer pipes 17 of two upper and lower adjacent directions, to move to an upwind side heat transfer pipe 16 via a lee side heat transfer pipe, to merge into a third branch pipe 22 belonging to the upwind side heat transfer pipe 16, and to move via a third pipe arrangement 23 to the upwind side heat transfer pipe 16 and then from a fourth pipe arrangement 24 to a fourth branch pipe 25. The coolant caused to flow downward by the second pipe arrangement is connected to a fifth branch pipe 26, and is shunted to lee side heat transfer pipes of two upper and lower a |
