Abstract (en)

[Object] It is an object of the present invention to provide a safe heat medium circulation system capable of detecting initial leakage of refrigerant early when trial operation is completed, and capable of reducing erroneous detection of leakage of refrigerant and according to this, it is possible to early find leakage of refrigerant.[Solving Means] The heat medium circulation system of the invention includes a heat pump cycle 24 through which refrigerant circulates, a heating cycle 50 through which heat medium heated by the heat pump cycle 24 circulates between the heat pump cycle 24 and a heating terminal 37, a pressure sensor 27 for detecting pressure of heat medium in the heating cycle 50, and a control device 35. The control device 35 determines that the refrigerant leaks from the heat pump cycle 24 to the heating cycle 50 based on a detected value of the pressure sensor 27 which is detected after a trial operation for operating the heat pump cycle 24 and the heating cycle 50 is completed after water is poured to the heating cycle 50.
