Abstract:
Provided is a refrigeration apparatus in which a decrease in a temperature of an indoor heat exchanger can be suppressed as much as possible while depletion of refrigerator oil in a compressor is also suppressed. An air-conditioning apparatus configured from a parallel connection of a plurality of outdoor units to an indoor unit, wherein when a predetermined defrosting condition has been fulfilled, a controller includes at least one processor programmed to selectively execute a reverse-cycle defrost mode when a predetermined outflow condition pertaining to an outflow integrated quantity of refrigerator oil has also been fulfilled, and selectively execute an alternating defrost mode, in which the outdoor unit that is to be defrosted is changed in sequence, when the predetermined outflow condition has not been fulfilled.

Claim (Index 2):
The refrigeration apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n fulfillment of the predetermined outflow condition refers to:\n an instance in which, assuming that an operation in which the largest amount of oil flows out of the compressor is continually performed from a point in time when the predetermined defrosting condition is fulfilled, the time needed to reach a predetermined state of oil depletion is equal to or less than a predetermined time; and/or \n an instance in which, when an outflow integrated value of refrigerator oil determined when the predetermined defrosting condition has been fulfilled, the outflow integrated value being established on the basis of a rotational speed of the compressor and a high pressure and a low pressure of the refrigerant circuit, is equal to or greater than a predetermined integrated value.
