PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent lowering of the coefficient of performance and lowering of the operation efficiency of a refrigerating cycle device when a fluid to be heated having a middle temperature of about ≥31°C is heated to a high temperature. SOLUTION: A mixed working fluid contains carbon dioxide and difluoromethane, wherein the content of the carbon dioxide is substantially ≥80 wt.%. The refrigerating cycle device uses the mixed working fluid and is equipped with a compressor 11, a radiator 12, a pressure reducer 13 and an evaporator 14. The lowering of the coefficient of performance can be suppressed by the characteristics of the mixed working fluid when a fluid having a middle temperature is heated to a high temperature.
