Abstract
A flow of refrigerant discharged from a first compressor and cooled by a radiator is branched by a first branch portion, and the branched refrigerant of one side is decompressed and expanded by a thermal expansion valve and is heat exchanged with the branched refrigerant of the other side in an inner heat exchanger. Therefore, the branched refrigerant of the other side supplied to the suction side evaporator and a nozzle portion of an ejector can be cooled, thereby improving COP. Furthermore, a suction port of a second compressor is coupled to an outlet side of the ejector so as to secure a drive flow of the ejector, and the refrigerant discharged from the second compressor and the refrigerant downstream of the thermal expansion valve are mixed to be drawn into the first compressor so that an ejector-type refrigerant cycle device can be operated stably.
