Abstract
According to one embodiment, a refrigeration cycle apparatus, a fusible plug is attached to a low-pressure-side pipe between an evaporator and a compressor. The refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a heat quantity reduction member. The fusible plug fuses when a temperature of heat transmitted from the low-pressure-side pipe to the fusible plug reaches a predetermined value or more, and then opens the inside of the low-pressure-side pipe to atmosphere. The heat quantity reduction member reduces the quantity of heat to be transmitted to the fusible plug.
Claims10
A refrigeration cycle apparatus comprising:
- a refrigeration cycle in which a compressor, a condenser, a pressure reducing unit and an evaporator are connected to each other by pipes, and an accumulator is provided at a low-pressure-side pipe between the evaporator and the compressor;
- a fusible plug attached to the low-pressure-side pipe;
- and
- a heat-quantity reduction member which reduces quantity of heat to be transmitted to the fusible plug,
- the heat-quantity reduction member being one or more sheet-like endothermic members which are wound on the fusible plug.
A refrigeration cycle apparatus comprising:
