Abstract:
A refrigeration cycle apparatus is provided with a refrigerant circuit, a refrigerant tank circuit, and a degassing pipe. The refrigerant circuit is configured by connecting a compressor, a flow path switching apparatus, a first heat exchanger, a decompressing apparatus, and a second heat exchanger. The refrigerant tank circuit is connected to the first and second heat exchangers in parallel with the decompressing apparatus. The degassing pipe has a first end and a second end. The flow path switching apparatus is configured to switch a flow of refrigerant discharged from the compressor to any of the first and second heat exchangers. The refrigerant tank circuit contains a refrigerant tank. The degassing pipe has the first end connected to the refrigerant tank and has the second end connected to at least any of the refrigerant circuit and the refrigerant tank circuit.

Claim (Index 6):
The refrigeration cycle apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the degassing pipe comprises a first pipe portion, a second pipe portion, and a valve portion, each of the first and second pipe portions comprises a first end and a second end, the first pipe portion has the first end connected to the refrigerant tank and has the second end connected to the refrigerant circuit between the second heat exchanger and the compressor, the second pipe portion has the first end connected to the refrigerant tank and has the second end connected to the refrigerant circuit between the compressor and the first heat exchanger, and the valve portion is configured to switch the flow of the refrigerant to one of the first pipe portion and the second pipe portion and not to switch the flow of the refrigerant to the other of the first pipe portion and the second pipe portion.
