Abstract
A composite heat exchanger includes a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between feed air and a refrigerant, and a second heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the feed air and engine coolant. The composite heat exchanger is integrated so as to enable heat transfer between discharge refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchanger and the coolant flowing through the second heat exchanger. Furthermore, the composite heat exchanger is configured to change an amount of the heat exchanged among the feed air, the discharge refrigerant and the coolant in the composite heat exchanger by changing at least one of a volume of the feed air, a refrigerant discharge capacity of the compression mechanism, and an inflow amount of the heat medium.
