Air conditioner having refrigerant distributor

An air conditioner comprising:

• an outdoor air heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between outside air and a refrigerant;
• and
• wherein the outdoor air heat exchanger comprises:
• a main tube;
• at least two distribution flow paths that are independent of each other, to which a plurality of branch tubes branched from the main tube are connected;
• a header cover divided into a plurality of partition spaces receiving the refrigerant from the at least two distribution flow paths;
• a plurality of heat exchange tubes connected to the plurality of partition spaces;
• and
• an opening forming member formed to include:
• a hole region in which a plurality of openings that allow each of the at least two distribution flow paths to communicate with the partition spaces are formed, wherein the plurality of openings are arranged along a longitudinal direction of the opening forming member;
• and
• a development region located upstream of the hole region along the longitudinal direction of the opening forming member and in which the openings are not formed,
• wherein:
• a distribution flow path among the at least two distribution flow paths is configured to supply the refrigerant to a predetermined number of partition spaces among the plurality of partition spaces, and
• another distribution flow path among the at least two distribution flow paths is configured to supply the refrigerant to partition spaces at positions different from positions of the predetermined number of partition spaces among the plurality of partition spaces without supplying the refrigerant to the predetermined number of partition spaces.

An air conditioner comprising:

• an indoor air heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between inside air and a refrigerant,
• wherein the indoor air heat exchanger comprises:
• a main tube;
• at least two distribution flow paths that are independent of each other, to which a plurality of branch tubes branched from the main tube are connected;
• a header cover divided into a plurality of partition spaces receiving the refrigerant from the at least two distribution flow paths;
• and
• a plurality of heat exchange tubes connected to the plurality of partition spaces;
• and
• an opening forming member formed to include:
• a hole region in which a plurality of openings that allow each of the at least two distribution flow paths to communicate with the partition spaces are formed, wherein the plurality of openings are arranged along a longitudinal direction of the opening forming member;
• and
• a development region located upstream of the hole region along the longitudinal direction of the opening forming member and in which the openings are not formed, wherein:
• a distribution flow path among the at least two distribution flow paths is configured to supply the refrigerant to a predetermined number of partition spaces among the plurality of partition spaces, and
• another distribution flow path among the at least two distribution flow paths is configured to supply the refrigerant to partition spaces at positions different from positions of the predetermined number of partition spaces among the plurality of partition spaces without supplying the refrigerant to the predetermined number of partition spaces.
