Air conditioner
An air conditioner includes a casing, and a blower and a refrigerant circuit disposed in the casing. The blower is configured to blow air. The refrigerant circuit has a compressor, a condenser, a decompressor, and an evaporator and is configured to circulate refrigerant in order of the compressor, the condenser, the decompressor, and the evaporator. The condenser has a first heat transfer tube through which the refrigerant flows and which has a first outside diameter. The evaporator has a second heat transfer tube through which the refrigerant flows and which has a second outside diameter. The evaporator is disposed windward of the condenser. The first outside diameter of the first heat transfer tube of the condenser is smaller than the second outside diameter of the second heat transfer tube of the evaporator.

HEAT PUMP AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING THE SAME
A heat pump including a refrigerant circuit configured to circulate flammable refrigerant, and an indoor unit configured to be arranged in an indoor space. The refrigerant circuit has a compressor, a utilisation-side heat exchanger, an expansion device and a heat-source-side heat exchanger connected by piping. The an indoor unit includes an outer casing having a top, and a sealed container accommodated in the outer casing. The sealed container has a bottom and a top and accommodates at least one of the compressor, the utilisation-side heat exchanger, the expansion device, and the heat-source-side heat exchanger. The sealed container has a release opening to exhaust leaking refrigerant to an exterior of the outer casing of the indoor unit.
Air conditioning appliance with make-up air module
A single-package air conditioning appliance includes a housing defining an outdoor portion and an indoor portion. An outdoor heat exchanger assembly is disposed in the outdoor portion. The outdoor heat exchanger assembly includes an outdoor heat exchanger and an outdoor fan. An indoor heat exchanger assembly is disposed in the indoor portion.
