Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device includes: a variable displacement compressor including a discharge capacity varying part to change a refrigerant discharge capacity; a controller that outputs a capacity control signal to the variable displacement compressor to change the refrigerant discharge capacity; a heat exchanger that condenses or cools refrigerant discharged from the variable displacement compressor; a decompressor that decompresses and expands refrigerant flowing out of the heat exchanger; an evaporator that evaporates refrigerant decompressed and expanded by the decompressor; and a high load determiner that determines whether the compressor is in a high load operational status based on the capacity control signal.
