Refrigeration cycle apparatus

A refrigeration cycle apparatus comprising:

• a compressor that sucks a refrigerant from a suction flow path, compresses the refrigerant, and discharges a high-pressure refrigerant, the refrigerant flowing through the suction flow path being a low-pressure refrigerant;
• a condenser that condenses the high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor;
• a decompressor that decompresses the high-pressure refrigerant that has exited from the condenser;
• an evaporator that evaporates the refrigerant decompressed at the decompressor;
• and
• an injection flow path that is at least either one of an intermediate injection flow path and a suction injection flow path, the intermediate injection flow path allowing a part of the refrigerant that flows toward the evaporator from the condenser to merge with an intermediate-pressure refrigerant in the compressor, the suction injection flow path allowing a part of the refrigerant that flows toward the evaporator from the condenser to merge with the low-pressure refrigerant that is sucked by the compressor,
