    Abstract: A vehicular air conditioner includes a refrigeration cycle system, a high-temperature heat medium circuit, and a low-temperature heat medium circuit. The high-temperature heat medium circuit includes an air-heat medium heat exchanger, a heater core, a branching portion, a common passage, a flow rate adjuster, and an auxiliary heat source. The air-heat medium heat exchanger exchanges heat between the heat medium and an outside air. The heater core is arranged parallel to the air-heat medium heat exchanger and causes the heat medium to transfer heat to a ventilation air. The branching portion divides a flow of the heat medium into a flow toward the air-heat medium heat exchanger and a flow toward the heater core. The auxiliary heat source is arranged in the common passage at a position upstream of the branching portion.

    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device includes a compressor, a heater device, a high-stage side decompressor, a gas-liquid separator, a refrigerant branch portion, a first decompressor, a first evaporator, a second decompressor, and a second evaporator. The compressor has an intermediate pressure port through which an intermediate-pressure refrigerant flows into the compressor. The gas-liquid separator is configured to separate the intermediate-pressure refrigerant into a gas refrigerant and a liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant branch portion is configured to divide a flow of the liquid refrigerant separated by the gas-liquid separator. In a cooling mode for cooling a heat exchange target fluid, a refrigerant circuit is switched such that a low-pressure refrigerant flows from the branch portion to the first evaporator. In a heating mode for heating the heat exchange target fluid, the refrigerant circuit is switched such that the low-pressure refrigerant flows from the branch portion to the second evaporator.

    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device includes a compressor, a heating radiator, a heat medium radiator, a decompressor, an evaporator, and a radiation amount adjuster. The heating radiator is configured to allow a high-pressure refrigerant to release heat to a heat exchange target fluid. The heat medium radiator is configured to allow the high-pressure refrigerant to release heat to a high-temperature side heat medium. The radiation amount adjuster is configured to adjust heat radiation amount radiated from the high-pressure refrigerant to the heat exchange target fluid at the heating radiator. In a heating mode, the radiation amount adjuster is configured to adjust the heat radiation amount at the heating radiator to be larger than a heat radiation amount at the heat medium radiator. In a cooling mode, the radiation amount adjuster is configured to adjust the heat radiation amount at the heating radiator to be lower than that in the heating mode.

    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle device includes a high-temperature side heat exchanger, an expansion valve for decompressing the refrigerant flowing out of the high-temperature side heat exchanger, a low-temperature side heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant decompressed by the expansion valve and coolant, a high-temperature coolant circuit in which the coolant circulates to the high-temperature side heat exchanger, a low-temperature coolant circuit in which the coolant circulates to the low-temperature side heat exchanger, a battery and a low-temperature side radiator configured to exchange heat with the coolant in the low-temperature coolant circuit; and a heat transfer portion configured to transfer heat from the high-temperature coolant circuit to the low-temperature coolant circuit such that the coolant dissipates heat in the battery and the low-temperature side radiator.
