Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3816544A1] A refrigeration cycle apparatus (1) includes a heat-source unit (2) and a utilization unit (4a, 4b) that are connected to each other via a gas-refrigerant connection pipe (5) and a liquid-refrigerant connection pipe (6) and thereby constitute a refrigerant circuit (7). Carbon dioxide is enclosed as a refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit (7). In the refrigeration cycle apparatus (1), to reduce the amount of the refrigerant enclosed in the refrigerant circuit (7), a pipe whose inner diameter is 6.2 mm or less is used as the gas-refrigerant connection pipe (5), and/or a pipe whose inner diameter is 3.6 mm or less is used as the liquid-refrigerant connection pipe (6).
