Refrigeration cycle system

Abstract

A refrigeration cycle system includes: a compressor lubricated by lubricating oil and configured to compress refrigerant; an evaporator configured to allow the refrigerant having dissipated heat and having been decompressed after the compression by the compressor to pass therethrough and cause the passing refrigerant to exchange heat with an object; and a storage container provided between the evaporator and the compressor, the storage container being configured to store the refrigerant and the lubricating oil. The system is capable of supplying the lubricating oil stored in the storage container to the compressor even when an environmental temperature of an environment in which the storage container is installed becomes an inversion temperature at which a density of the lubricating oil and a density of the refrigerant in a liquid state are inverted.
