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 2):
The air conditioning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the start condition of the defrosting operation is set so that a total value of the period must be equal to or greater than a predetermined first reference time from the start of the heating operation, and\n the controller sets the first reference time to a second reference time shorter than the first reference time, when the discharge pressure is less than the pressure threshold value while performing the heating operation.
