<p>In a heat pump apparatus of an indirect type including a primary circuit on a heat source side and a secondary circuit on a load side, a refrigerant in the primary circuit is prevented from leaking through the secondary circuit. An air-conditioning apparatus 100 includes a leakage detecting device 13 that detects leakage of the refrigerant circulated through a refrigerant circuit, serving as the primary circuit, from an intermediate heat exchanger 5 into a water circuit 10, serving as the secondary circuit, and a controller 14 that closes valves 8a and 8b arranged on both sides of the intermediate heat exchanger 5 in the water circuit 10 to prevent water containing the refrigerant from flowing beyond the valves 8a and 8b when the leakage detecting device 13 detects the leakage.</p> |
