Abstract (en)

A refrigerant leak determination apparatus (300) is provided with a refrigeration cycle device (100), connection devices (105A and 105B), and a control device (200). The refrigeration cycle device (100) is configured with an indoor unit (100A) and an outdoor unit (100B). The refrigeration cycle device (100) includes a refrigerant circuit (120), and performs a refrigeration cycle in which a refrigerant circulates through the refrigerant circuit (120). Each of the connection devices (105A and 105B) has a communication opening to an internal space of the refrigerant circuit (120), and is connected to a pressure sensor (104) that measures a refrigerant pressure in the internal space. The control device (200) causes the refrigeration cycle device (100) to perform oil recovery operation to collect oil inside the refrigerant circuit (120) in a compressor (109), and determines a leak of the refrigerant from the refrigerant circuit (120), by comparing a reference pressure with the refrigerant pressure measured by the pressure sensor (104) after the oil recovery operation.
