The application provides a heat exchange structure, an air conditioner and a control method. The heat exchange structure comprises: an outdoor unit arranged outdoors, the outdoor unit comprising a compressor, a
defrosting pipeline arranged on the compressor; an outdoor
heat exchanger arranged in the outdoor unit, the outdoor
heat exchanger being connected with the
defrosting pipeline, the
defrosting pipeline being connected with the compressor, so that fluid in the compressor flows into the outdoor
heat exchanger; a heating pipeline, one end of the heating pipeline being connected with the outdoor heat exchanger, the other end of the heating pipeline being connected with the compressor, so that fluid in the outdoor heat exchanger flows into the compressor, the heating pipeline being provided with a heating component for heating fluid; the heating pipeline is provided with a gas-liquid separator for separating gas and liquid; a heat exchange device, the heat exchange device being connected with the heating pipeline and the defrosting pipeline, so as to exchange heat between fluid in the heating pipeline and fluid in the defrosting pipeline. The heat exchange structure solves the problem of liquid accumulation in the gas-liquid separator, improves the amount of
refrigerant circulation during heating, reduces the defrosting frequency of the unit, and improves the heating use comfort.
