Original Abstract Submitted
An air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit configured to cause refrigerant to circulate therein, and an outdoor unit and an indoor unit forming the refrigerant circuit. The outdoor unit includes a heat exchanger provided with one heat exchanger core or two or more heat exchanger cores arranged along a flow direction of air. Each heat exchanger core has a plurality of flat tubes extending in an up-down direction. The heat exchanger is configured to cause the refrigerant to flow as an upward flow in the flat tubes when functioning as a condenser. The refrigerant is a two-component refrigerant mixture in which two refrigerants selected from R32, HFO1123, and R1234yf are mixed, or a three-component refrigerant mixture in which the three refrigerants are mixed.
