Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device has a cooling heat exchanger, an evaporation-pressure control valve, an inside-air ratio adjuster, and a controller. The evaporation-pressure control valve controls an evaporation pressure of a refrigerant in the cooling heat exchanger. The inside-air ratio adjuster changes a ratio of an inside air to an entire volume of the air exchanging heat with the refrigerant in the cooling heat exchanger. The controller controls the inside-air ratio adjuster. The evaporation-pressure control valve increases the evaporation pressure of the refrigerant as a flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the evaporation-pressure control valve increases. The controller, in a first mode, increases the ratio of the inside air as an evaporation temperature of the refrigerant in the cooling heat exchanger falls.

Abstract: Lever neutrality is determined by whether or not operation levers are at a neutral position based on operation signals from operation levers. Pilot pressures are computed based on the operation signals from the operation levers; and pilot pressure signals are converted to current signals. A current interruption controller controls interruption and communication of the current signals to the solenoid proportional valves; and an operating condition is determined by determining whether a construction machine is in a manual operation state or a semiautomatic operation state. At least one hydraulic actuator is controlled to assist the operation of the operator, and when it is determined that the construction machine is in the semiautomatic operation state, the current interruption controller interrupts the current signals to all of the solenoid proportional valves only when it is determined that all the operation levers are at the neutral position.
