(54) Refrigeration cycle apparatus


(57) When the product is discarded or presented for thermal recycling, generation of harmful substances having adverse effects on environments such as dioxin can be prevented, and the environmental load is lessened. By sorting out the vibration insulation rubber (3,8), material recycling is possible. It includes a compressor (4,9), a frame (1,6) for supporting the compressor (4,9), and vibration insulation rubber (3,8) placed between the compressor (4,9) and the frame (1,6). The vibration insulation rubber (3,8) has a thermoplastic elastomer. Preferably, the vibration insulation rubber (3,8) is a molding made of a chlorine-free thermoplastic elastomer.
