A refrigeration cycle apparatus 100 includes a low-pressure compressor 113, a high-pressure compressor 101, a radiator 103, a gas-liquid separator 107, an expansion valve 109, an expander 105 and an evaporator 111. The low-pressure compressor 113 and the expander 105 are coupled by a shaft 116, and the low-pressure compressor 113 is driven using power recovered by the expander 105 from a refrigerant. The low-pressure compressor 113 and the high-pressure compressor 101 are serially connected by an intermediate-pressure flow path 114. The gas-liquid separator 107 and the intermediate-pressure flow path 114 are connected by the reciprocating flow path 115. The reciprocating flow path 115 is configured to allow the refrigerant to circulate bidirectionally. It is possible to regulate the refrigerant flow rate in the reciprocating flow path 115 by controlling the opening degree of the expansion valve 109.
