Patent attributes
A refrigeration cycle apparatus, in which demand control is performed to adjust electric power, includes: a compressor, a driving rotation speed; a recording device that records, as data, a relationship between the driving rotation speed of the compressor and a temperature difference between a set temperature and a detected temperature, the set temperature being set as desired as a temperature control target for a temperature adjustment target, and the detected temperature being detected by a temperature detecting device disposed at a position at which a temperature of the temperature adjustment target is detected; and a main controller that, in response to a request for the demand control, calculates the temperature difference between the set temperature and the detected temperature, retrieves, from the recording device, data of the driving rotation speed of the compressor corresponding to the calculated temperature difference, and controls the compressor based on the retrieved driving rotation speed.
