Abstract

A heat pump device and an organic Rankine cycle device that are capable of maintaining a stable thermal cycle even when an HFO or HCFO is used as the refrigerant. The refrigerant circulation device uses a refrigerant, wherein the refrigerant includes a hydrofluoroolefin or hydrochlorofluoroolefin having a carbon-carbon double bond within the molecular structure, and a reaction suppression unit which suppresses an isomerization reaction of the refrigerant is provided within the refrigerant circulation circuit.
