  • the refrigeration machine oil which is used together with the HC-based refrigerant is light color and transparent, however, prescribed dye is added to the refrigeration machine oil in this embodiment.
  • the smell element provides irritant smell to the refrigerant, and when the refrigerant is discharged to the air, it stimulates the sense of smell of the human even when the amount thereof is slight.
  • the dye provides bright color such as bright red color, bright yellow color or the like, and when the refrigerant or the refrigeration machine oil is discharged to the air, the portion surrounding the leakage portion is brightly dyed.
  • the smell element and the dye used in this embodiment are harmless to the human body and inactive to the refrigerant and does not corrode the constituent parts of the refrigeration cycle, and mercaptan and pigment may be used, for example.
  • the leakage position is specified when the refrigerant leaks, and thus the dye may be added to only one of the refrigerant and the refrigeration machine oil.
  • Gas refrigerant which is sucked from the accumulator 27 through the refrigerant pipe 40 into the compressor 21 is adiabatically compressed and discharged as high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant from the compressor 21.
  • the high-pressure gas refrigerant thus discharged flows through the refrigerant pipe 33 into the outdoor heat exchanger 23.

  • the refrigerant leakage is judged on the basis of the reduction of the oxygen concentration by the refrigerant leak sensor 57, and the ECU 51 performs the processing such as the leakage control, etc. That is, when a detection signal representing the refrigerant leakage is input from the refrigerant leakage sensor 57, the ECU 51 stops the compressor 17 and the fan motor 31, and at the same time it controls the electromagnetic cutoff valves 61 and 63 to cut off the refrigerant circuit. Further, the ECU 51 controls the electromagnetic actuator 69 to drive the damper 67 so that the damper 67 is opened.
  • the refrigerant flow in the refrigerant circuit is stopped and the refrigerant pressure is lowered, so that the leakage rate of the refrigerant is rapidly lowered.
  • the refrigerant circuit is cut off, the refrigerant in the compressor 17 or the outdoor heat exchanger 23 can be prevented from leaking even when refrigerant leakage occurs in the indoor heat exchanger 11, the capillary tube 15 or the pipe connection portion thereof. That is, the refrigerant leakage portion in the refrigeration cycle can be separated from the other portions in the refrigeration cycle to prevent the refrigerant leakage from expanding to the other portions.
  • the leaking refrigerant is discharged through the intercommunication port 65 to the outside by opening the damper 67, and at the same time fresh air is introduced from the outside air.
  • the fan motor 31, etc. are stopped, any spark which causes firing does not occur to thereby prevent burning of the refrigerant.
  • the ECU 51 controls the alarm buzzer 71 to make an alarm sound, thereby acoustically making the inhabitants recognize the refrigerant leakage.

  • a prescribed smell element is added to the refrigerant used in the air conditioner. Therefore, the prescribed smell element floats in the room when the refrigerant leaks from the indoor heat exchanger, the pipe connection portion or the like, whereby an inhabitant can easily recognize the refrigerant leakage.
  • a prescribed dye is added to at least one of the refrigerant and the refrigeration machine oil used in the air conditioner.

Accordingly, an inhabitant can easily recognize the refrigerant leakage, and also can easily grasp the leakage position.
  • the smell element or the dye added to the refrigerant or the like is inactive to the refrigerant, and does not corrode the constituent elements of the refrigeration cycle. Therefore, the physical properties of the refrigerant are not changed by the addition of the smell element or the dye, and there occurs no corrosion in the heat exchangers and the pipe group and no expansion in the rubber group.
  • the controller stops the compressor on the basis of the output signal, whereby the pressure in the refrigeration cycle is lowered and the refrigerant leakage is suppressed to thereby ensure high safety.
  • plural cutoff valves are provided in the refrigeration cycle, and when the refrigerant leaks from the refrigeration cycle, these cutoff valves are closed to separate the leakage position from the refrigeration cycle. Accordingly, when the refrigerant leakage is judged on the basis of the output signal of the refrigerant leakage sensor or the like, the controller drives the cutoff valves disposed at the inlet and outlet sides of the outdoor heat exchanger to be closed on the basis of the output signal, thereby preventing the refrigerant at the other portions of the refrigeration cycle from leaking into the room, and keeping high safety.
  • the constituent elements of the refrigeration cycle is accommodated in a single case
  • the intercommunication port is formed in the partition plate through which the inside of the single case is partitioned into the indoor side and the outdoor side
