A refrigeration cycle apparatus 100 according to the present invention includes: a refrigerant circuit 160 including a compressor 101, a condenser (102 or 106), a first throttling device (103 or 105), a gas-liquid separator 104, a second throttling device (105 or 103), and an evaporator (106 or 102); an injection passage 170 through which a gas phase refrigerant separated out in the gas-liquid separator 104 is supplied to the compressor 101 during a compression process; a detector 130 for detecting a temperature or a pressure of a refrigerant present on a downstream side of the first throttling device and on an upstream side of the second throttling device in the refrigerant circuit 160 or present in the injection passage 170; and a controller 108 for decreasing an opening degree of the first throttling device when the controller 108 recognizes, by the detector 130, that a pressure of the refrigerant flowing into the gas-liquid separator 104 exceeds a specified pressure lower than a saturation vapor pressure, in a starting operation, a defrosting operation or a stopping operation. |
