Abstract (en)

A first step and a second step are carried out sequentially. In the first step, via a gas side port (28) which is open to the gas side interconnecting line's (24) side of the shut-off position of a gas side shut-off valve (26) mounted at one end of the heat source side circuit (21), refrigeration oil is recovered together with refrigerant present in a portion of the refrigerant circuit (20) , which portion is in fluid communication with the gas side port (28) . In the second step, via a liquid side port (27) which is open to the liquid side interconnecting line's (23) side of the shut-off position of a liquid side shut-off valve (25) mounted at the other end of the heat source side circuit (21) , refrigeration oil is recovered together with a part or all of refrigerant present in a portion of the refrigerant circuit (20), which portion is in fluid communication with the liquid side port (27) , with the gas side shut-off valve (26) placed in the closed state.
