Abstract
A refrigeration cycle apparatus causes refrigerant to circulate through a compressor, an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a heat storage body, a first expansion valve, and a second expansion valve. The refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a bypass path and a first on-off valve provided in the bypass path. The bypass path branches off from a first portion that connects the indoor heat exchanger and the first expansion valve in a first refrigerant pipe, and leads to a fourth refrigerant pipe that connects a suction port of the compressor and a four-way valve. The first on-off valve is opened in a defrosting operation.
