Abstract

An electric compression device has a motor section and a compressor section contained in a housing, an inverter attached to the outer surface of the housing, and a temperature measurement device for measuring a temperature of the inverter. In a stopped state of a refrigeration cycle system, a control unit drives the motor section when the temperature of the inverter, measured by the temperature measurement device, exceeds a predetermined temperature.
