More Information
Summary:A refrigerant cycle apparatus, that circulates a flammable refrigerant in a refrigerant circuit, includes: a gas-side cutoff valve; a liquid-side cutoff valve, where the gas-side cutoff valve and the liquid-side cutoff valve are disposed on opposite sides of a first portion of the refrigerant circuit; a detection unit that detects refrigerant leakage from the first portion into a predetermined space; and a control unit that sets a cutoff state in the gas-side cutoff valve and the liquid-side cutoff valve when the detection unit detects the refrigerant leakage from the first portion into the predetermined space. The cutoff leakage rate at the gas-side cutoff valve is higher than the cutoff leakage rate at the liquid-side cutoff valve.
