Abstract: A compressor (12) a four way valve (13) an outdoor heat exchanger (14) an expansion valve (15) and an indoor heat exchanger (16) are connected in a refrigerant circuit (11a) in which a refrigerant containing HFO 1123 circulates. This refrigeration cycle device (10) controls the pressure of the refrigerant in a flow path (that is the high pressure side) from the compressor (12) to the expansion valve (15) in the refrigerant circuit (11a) by means of a control mechanism so as to be equal to or less than a threshold value. Thus even if a disproportionation reaction of the HFO 1123 occurs in a portion of the circuit such as the compressor (12) proliferation of the reaction is prevented.

after being compressed by the compression element (30) of the compressor (12) reaches
a second value.

[Claim 7] The refrigerating cycle apparatus (10) according to any one of claims 1 to 6,
wherein the control mechanism stops power supply to an electric motor element (40) of the compressor (12) when the pressure of the refrigerant in the flow path of the refrigerant circuit (11a, lib) from the compressor (12) to the expansion mechanism (15) reaches a third value. [Claim 8] The refrigerating cycle apparatus (10) according to claim 7,
wherein the control mechanism includes, in the compressor (12), a pressure fuse (95) to shut off electric conduction between the electric motor element (40) of the compressor (12) and an external power supply when the pressure of the refrigerant in the flow path of the refrigerant circuit (11a, lib) from the compressor (12) to the expansion mechanism (15) reaches the third value.
[Claim 9] The refrigerating cycle apparatus (10) according to claim 8,
wherein the pressure fuse (95) is disposed in a container (20) of the
compressor (12).
[Claim 10] The refrigerating cycle apparatus (10) according to any one of claims 7 to 9, wherein the third value is a value of not less than 5 MPa and not more than 6
MPa.
[Claim 11] The refrigerating cycle apparatus (10) according to any one of claims 1 to
10,
wherein the control mechanism includes, on the compressor (12), a relief
valve (96) for ejecting the refrigerant outside a container (20) of the compressor (12),
and opens the relief valve (96) when the pressure of the refrigerant in the flow path of
the refrigerant circuit (11a, lib) from the compressor (12) to the expansion mechanism
(15) reaches a fourth value of not less than 5.5 MPa and not more than 6.5 MPa.
[Claim 12] The refrigerating cycle apparatus (10) according to any one of claims 1 to
11,
wherein the refrigerant is 1,1,2-trifluoroethylene. [Claim 13] The refrigerating cycle apparatus (10) according to any one of claims 1 to 11,
wherein the refrigerant is a mixture containing 1% or more of 1,1,2-trifluoro ethylene.
