An air conditioning apparatus includes a compression element, a refrigerant cooler, an expansion element, a refrigerant heater, a magnetic field generator, a generated heat temperature sensor and a control part. The magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field in order to induction-heat a refrigerant tube circulating refrigerant and/or a member in thermal contact with refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant tube. The generated heat temperature sensor senses temperature of a portion that generates heat due to the induction heating. The control part performs superheating protection control in order to increase an opening degree of the expansion mechanism when the temperature sensed by the generated heat temperature sensor reaches or exceeds a predetermined generated heat temperature, or when a rate of increase of the temperature sensed by the generated heat temperature sensor reaches or exceeds a predetermined rate of increase. |
