Abstract
A refrigeration cycle device includes: a compressor; a heat radiating unit that causes refrigerant to heat air supplied to a space inside a vehicle cabin; a decompression unit that decompresses the refrigerant; an outside air heat absorbing unit that causes the refrigerant to absorb heat from outside air; a waste heat absorbing unit that causes the refrigerant to absorb waste heat of a waste heat device; a shutter that opens and closes a passage for the outside air introduced into the outside air heat absorbing unit; and a control unit that closes the shutter when it is determined that an amount of waste heat of the waste heat device is larger than an amount of heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the outside air heat absorbing unit and the waste heat absorbing unit.
