Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an air conditioning apparatus has one or a plurality of indoor units, an outdoor unit, and a controller. The one or plurality of indoor units have an indoor heat exchanger, and an indoor expansion valve in which a degree of opening is variable. The outdoor unit has an outdoor heat exchanger, a four-way valve, a compressor, and a discharge pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure of a refrigerant discharged from the compressor. When a discharge pressure detected by the discharge pressure sensor is less than a predetermined pressure threshold value while a heating operation is performed, the controller sets a maximum time for continuing a defrosting operation started by a start condition of the defrosting operation being satisfied to be shorter than a maximum time for continuing the defrosting operation when the discharge pressure is equal to or higher than the pressure threshold value.

Claim (Index 3):
The air conditioning apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a temperature sensor configured to detect the temperature of the outside air, wherein the start condition of the defrosting operation is set so that the total value of the period during which the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is less than a predetermined temperature threshold value after the start of the heating operation must be equal to or longer than the first reference time.
