Abstract
An air conditioner includes a refrigerant module including a module housing, and a first refrigerant chamber and a second refrigerant chamber formed within the module housing. The second refrigerant chamber is disposed adjacent to the first refrigerant chamber. The refrigerant module includes a first inflow flow path and a first discharge flow path formed within the module housing and fluidly connected with one of the first refrigerant chamber and the second refrigerant chamber. The refrigerant module also includes a second inflow flow path and a second discharge flow path formed within the module housing and fluidly connected with the other of the first refrigerant chamber and the second refrigerant chamber. The refrigerant module further includes: an expansion valve disposed within the module housing and fluidly connected to the first discharge flow path; an expansion flow path which is formed in the module housing and through which the refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve flows; and a connection flow path formed within the module housing for fluidly connecting the compressor and the condenser.
