Abstract
A refrigeration cycle device can include a refrigerant circuit that includes a compressor. A refrigerant can be enclosed in the refrigerant circuit, particularly where the refrigerant can contain a hydrocarbon having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and a sulfur-based odorant. The compressor can be filled with a refrigeration oil, where the refrigeration oil can contain a base oil, and where the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to the number of carbon atoms in the molecular structure of the base oil is less than 0.50.
