Abstract (en)
A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit through which refrigerant is circulated, an economizer circuit branching off from the refrigerant circuit between an intercooler and a main expansion valve or between the intercooler and a condenser and connecting to a compressor via the intercooler, an economizer expansion valve disposed in the economizer circuit, an intermediate pressure sensor configured to detect an intermediate pressure of the refrigerant to be injected into the compressor, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the refrigerant to be injected into the compressor, a calculating unit configured to calculate an economizer superheat degree that is a difference between a saturated gas temperature corresponding to the detected intermediate pressure and a detection value of the temperature sensor and obtain, on the basis of an operating state of the refrigerant circuit, a target value of the economizer superheat degree, and a flow rate control unit configured to adjust an opening degree of the economizer expansion valve such that the economizer superheat degree matches the target value.
