An apparatus for converting a refrigerant pipe of an air conditioner comprises: a valve housing installed at a position where respective refrigerant discharge pipes of plural compressors are put together, having a valve space portion therein, and composed of a first refrigerant inlet, a second refrigerant inlet, a refrigerant outlet, a bypass outlet, and a detour refrigerant outlet at upper and lower sides thereof; a bypass pipe for connecting the refrigerant outlet of the valve housing to refrigerant suction pipes of the compressors so that a refrigerant discharged from each refrigerant discharge pipe of the compressors can be introduced into the refrigerant suction pipes of the compressors; an open/close valve slidably installed in the valve space portion of the valve housing so that a refrigerant discharged from the refrigerant discharge pipe can be selectively introduced into the refrigerant circulation pipe of the condenser or the bypass pipe; and an open/close valve driving means installed at the valve housing and driving the open/close valve.
