Abstract
A refrigeration cycle apparatus (A) includes: an evaporator () that retains a refrigerant liquid and that evaporates the refrigerant liquid therein; a condenser () that condenses a refrigerant vapor therein and that retains the refrigerant liquid; a vapor channel (A) that is provided with a compressor () and that directs the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator () to the condenser (); a liquid channel (B) that directs the refrigerant liquid from the condenser () to the evaporator (); a condensation-side circulation path () that allows the refrigerant liquid retained in the condenser () to circulate via a heat exchanger for heat release () and that is provided with a condensation-side pump () at a position upstream of the heat exchanger for heat release (); and a back-flow path () that directs a portion of the refrigerant liquid flowing in a section downstream of the heat exchanger for heat release () in the condensation-side circulation path () to a section upstream of the condensation-side pump () in the condensation-side circulation path () or to a bottom of the condenser ().
