Abstract (en)

A refrigeration cycle apparatus (100) has: a refrigerant circuit (1) including an upstream-side throttling device (14, 18), a gas-liquid separator (16), and a downstream-side throttling device (18, 14); an injection passage (22); and a controller (30). The injection passage (22) is provided with a heater (24). The controller (30) performs an intermediate pressure control operation for adjusting at least one of an opening degree of the upstream-side throttling device and an opening degree of the downstream-side throttling device so that a temperature difference between a gas-liquid separation temperature detected by an intermediate pressure temperature sensor (26) and an injection temperature detected by a superheat temperature sensor (28) becomes smaller than a predetermined value, and then increasing the opening degree of the downstream-side throttling device until the gas-liquid separation temperature drops by a predetermined value of degrees from the gas-liquid separation temperature that is detected on completion of the adjustment.
