Claim 1:
2. The air-conditioning apparatus of claim 1, wherein
the controller is configured to
cause the flow switching device to disconnect the first heat exchanger and the bypass pipe from each other and disconnect the second heat exchanger and the bypass pipe from each other, cause the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to function as the evaporator, and cause the indoor heat exchanger to function as the condenser at the time of the heating operation, and
cause the flow switching device to connect the one out of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and the bypass pipe to each other and disconnect the other one out of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and the bypass pipe from each other, cause the one out of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger to function as the condenser, and cause the other one out of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger to function as the evaporator at the time of the heating-defrosting operation.
