Abstract
A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit through which refrigerant circulates, a control box in which equipment for controlling the refrigeration cycle apparatus is accommodated, and a refrigerator for cooling a heat emitting body exposed from an opening of the control box. The heat emitting body is the equipment accommodated in the control box. The refrigerator includes a cooling body in contact with the heat emitting body, and a refrigerant pipe through which the refrigerant circulating through the refrigerant circuit passes to cool the cooling body. The refrigerant pipe is in contact with the cooling body. The pipe contact surface is different from the heating-body contact surface. The cooling body has a recessed portion at which the cooling body and the heat emitting body are not in contact with each other. The recessed portion is formed in the heating-body contact surface and spaced from the control box.
