REFRIGERATION CYCLE DEVICE

摘要

A refrigeration cycle apparatus 100 is provided with a working fluid circuit 106 and a first bypass passage 112. The working fluid circuit 106 is formed of a first compressor 101, a heat radiator 102, an expander 103, an evaporator 104, a second compressor 105, and flow passages 106a to 106e connecting these components in this order. The expander 103 and the second compressor 105 are coupled to each other by a power-recovery shaft 107 so that the second compressor 105 is driven by the power recovered by the expander 103. The first bypass passage 112 communicates between a portion from the discharge port of the first compressor 101 to the suction port of the expander 103 in the working fluid circuit 106 and a portion from the outlet of the evaporator 104 to the suction port of the second compressor 105 in the working fluid circuit 106, at the time of activation of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 100.
