  • Publication number: 20180299169
    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit through which refrigerant is circulated, a heat exchanger unit that accommodates a heat exchanger of the refrigerant circuit and a fan, a temperature sensor disposed in an area of the refrigerant circuit adjacent to a brazed connection or in an area of the refrigerant circuit adjacent to a joint between refrigerant pipes, and a controller configured to determine the presence of refrigerant leakage based on a temperature detected by the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is covered by a heat insulation material together with the brazed connection or the joint. The controller activates the fan upon determining that refrigerant leakage is present, and is triggered to deactivate the fan in response to the time variation of the temperature detected by the temperature sensor becoming positive.
