PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To nucleate a latent heat storage medium without causing complicated configuration.SOLUTION: A refrigeration cycle device of the present embodiment comprises: a refrigeration cycle mechanism; a latent heat storage medium; and a bimetal element. The refrigeration cycle mechanism is configured so that a compressor, an indoor heat exchanger, a decompressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and an accumulator are annularly connected by a refrigerant duct. The latent heat storage medium is arranged around the compressor and stores heat from an outside. The bimetal element is buried in the latent heat storage medium, and a shape of the bimetal element changes with a predetermined temperature set as a threshold. |
