In the detection of liquid back generated by refrigerant (R) circulating through refrigeration cycle (C), not only is at least temperature detecting element part (2) capable of detecting refrigerant temperature (Tr) fitted facing the interior of refrigerant (R) on its low-pressure side but also the magnitude of output signal (Vs) obtained by signal processing of detection signal (Vsi) based on the detection results of the temperature detecting element part (2) is compared with threshold value (Vsr) preset so as to allow detection of any liquid back so that detection of the liquid back by reaching of the magnitude of output signal (Vs) to the threshold value (Vsr) is carried out. Accordingly, the liquid back per se is directly detected.
