Abstract (en)

Provided is a refrigeration cycle apparatus including a refrigerant circuit sequentially connecting, with pipes, a compressor, a refrigerant-flow switching device, an air-side heat exchanger, a main expansion valve, and a water-side heat exchanger, and configured to allow refrigerant to circulate in the refrigerant circuit, the refrigeration cycle apparatus including a refrigerant amount adjustment tank arranged in parallel with the main expansion valve, and configured to store the refrigerant, a first refrigerant flow control valve provided to a pipe connected to one end of the refrigerant amount adjustment tank, the pipe being branched from a pipe connecting the air-side heat exchanger and the main expansion valve, the first refrigerant flow control valve being configured to adjust a flow rate of the refrigerant flowing into and out of the refrigerant amount adjustment tank on the basis of an opening degree of the first refrigerant flow control valve, and a second refrigerant flow control valve provided to a pipe connected to another end of the refrigerant amount adjustment tank, the pipe being branched from a pipe connecting the main expansion valve and the water-side heat exchanger, the second refrigerant flow control valve being configured to adjust a flow rate of the refrigerant flowing into and out of the refrigerant amount adjustment tank on the basis of an opening degree of the second refrigerant flow control valve.
