An air conditioning apparatus includes a refrigeration circuit, a magnetic material member, a magnetic field generator, a detector and a controller. The refrigeration cycle has a compressor, an intake-side heat exchanger, a discharge-side heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and a refrigerant tube connected in series by first, second, third and fourth tube parts of the refrigerant tube to form a closed loop. The magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field in order to inductively heat the magnetic material member. The detector detects temperature or pressure in refrigerant flowing through a predetermined portion of the refrigerant circuit. The controller confirms satisfaction of a magnetic-field-generating-permission condition before initiating the magnetic field generator to generate the magnetic field after a startup of the compressor. The magnetic-field-generating-permission condition is that a value detected by the detector changes when the compressor executes two different compression states of different compressor outputs having different frequencies.
