Air-conditioning apparatus

An air-conditioning apparatus, comprising:

• a refrigeration cycle for circulating refrigerant therethrough, in which a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a first passage of a subcooling heat exchanger for exchanging heat between high-temperature refrigerant and low-temperature refrigerant to subcool the high-temperature refrigerant, a first expansion device, and a second heat exchanger are connected to each other by refrigerant pipes,
• the compressor including an injection port for introducing the refrigerant from outside into a compression chamber of the compressor;
• a first bypass pipe branched from one of the refrigerant pipes between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and connected to an inlet-side passage of the compressor through a second expansion device, a second passage of the subcooling heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the refrigerant flowing through the second passage of the subcooling heat exchanger and the refrigerant flowing through the first passage of the subcooling heat exchanger, and a first opening and closing device;
• a second bypass pipe branched from the first bypass pipe between the subcooling heat exchanger and the first opening and closing device and connected to the injection port of the compressor through a second opening and closing device;
• a third bypass pipe branched from the one of the refrigerant pipes between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and connected to the injection port of the compressor through a third expansion device;
• and
• a liquid separator arranged on a branch portion of the one of the refrigerant pipes between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and configured to extract a part of liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant flowing between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, wherein
• the liquid separator includes an extraction port for the refrigerant in the liquid separator connected to the first bypass pipe and the third bypass pipe.
