Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3348939A1] A refrigeration cycle device, provided with: a compressor (14); a condenser (11); an evaporator (21); a pressure reducer (23); a subcooler (16) performing subcooling on a refrigerant passing through the condenser (11); a subcooling degree calculation unit (114) estimating a suitable subcooling degree of the refrigerant of an outlet of the subcooler (16) on the basis of a refrigerant cycle amount of a portion from the compressor (14) via the condenser (11) and the subcooler (16), and calculating, on the basis of the estimated suitable subcooling degree, a determination threshold value used for determining a refrigeration measurement; a refrigerant determination unit (115) comparing a measured subcooling degree and the determination threshold value, and thereby determining a refrigerant amount.
