A vapor-compression refrigerant cycle system with a refrigeration cycle and a Rankine cycle includes a compressor, a radiator, a gas-liquid separator, a decompression device and an evaporator. In the vapor-compression refrigerant cycle system, a liquid pump is disposed for supplying the liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator to a heater for heating the refrigerant, a cooling means is provided for cooling the liquid refrigerant to be sucked into the liquid pump, and an energy recovery unit for expanding the refrigerant flowing out of the heater is disposed to recover thermal energy in the refrigerant from the heater. When the Rankine cycle is set so that the energy recovery unit recovers the thermal energy, the cooling means cools the liquid refrigerant to be sucked into the liquid pump. Therefore, pumping efficiency of the liquid pump can be effectively improved.

In a heat pump cycle, a first high-pressure side heat exchanger is disposed to perform a heat exchange between refrigerant discharged from a compressor and a first fluid, and a second high-pressure side heat exchanger is disposed to perform a heat exchanger between refrigerant from the first high-pressure side heat exchanger and a second fluid having a temperature lower than that of the first fluid. Accordingly, a heat quantity obtained from the heat pump cycle is the sum of a heat amount obtained from the first high-pressure side heat exchanger and a heat amount obtained from the second high-pressure side heat exchanger.

In a refrigerant cycle system, refrigerant compressed in a first compressor is cooled and condensed in a radiator, and refrigerant from the radiator branches into main-flow refrigerant and supplementary-flow refrigerant. The main-flow refrigerant is decompressed in an expansion unit while expansion energy of the main-flow refrigerant is converted to mechanical energy. Thus, the enthalpy of the main-flow refrigerant is reduced along an isentropic curve. Therefore, even when the pressure within the evaporator increases, refrigerating effect is prevented from being greatly reduced in the refrigerant cycle system. Further, refrigerant flowing into the radiator is compressed using the converted mechanical energy. Thus, coefficient of performance of the refrigerant cycle system is improved.

A refrigerating system, using CO.sub.2 as a refrigerant, for an air conditioner for an automobile. A pressure at the outlet of the heat emitter 2 is controlled to a target value in accordance with the temperature of the refrigerant at the outlet of the heat emitter for obtaining an operation of the refrigerating system along the optimum control line .eta..sub.max. A pressure reducer 4 and a cooler 5 are provided on a branched passageway 28 branched from a refrigerant recirculating passageway 27 for injection. The cooler 5 is for obtaining a heat exchange between a flow of the refrigerant on the branched passageway 28 after being cooled by the pressure reducer and a flow of the refrigerant on the main passageway 27, thereby cooling the refrigerant directed to the evaporator. In a second aspect of the invention, a means is provided for increasing a target value of the pressure at the pressure reducer when a thermal load of the refrigerating system is high. In a third aspect, a series of pressure reducers are arranged on the main recirculating passageway. The second stage pressure reducer is controlled so as to obtain a desired value of degree of super heating at the inlet of the compressor.

In an ejector, a nozzle includes a nozzle tapered section having an inner passage with a radial dimension reduced toward a nozzle outlet port, and a needle having a needle tapered section disposed in the inner passage. The needle tapered section has a cross sectional area reduced toward a downstream end of the needle, and the downstream end of the needle is positioned at a downstream side with respect to the nozzle outlet port. In addition, the nozzle tapered section has a taper angle (φ1) which is equal to or greater than a taper angle (φ2) of the needle tapered section. Therefore, a boundary face on the outside of a nozzle jet flow becomes in a balanced natural shape, and is controlled in accordance with an operating condition. Thus, the ejector cycle can be operated while keeping high efficiency, regardless of the thermal load of the ejector cycle.

An oil content measuring device measures the oil content of a refrigerant in a supercritical or a vapor phase state. A refrigeration system uses the oil content measuring device. The oil content measuring device has an electrostatic capacity measuring device for measuring an electrostatic capacity of the refrigerant containing a refrigerating machine oil, a density measuring device for measuring a density of at least one of the refrigerant and the refrigerating machine oil, a computing device for performing a computation on correlation characteristics between the electrostatic capacity and an oil content which indicates the ratio of the amount of the refrigerating machine oil to the amount of the refrigerant containing the refrigerating machine oil, using the density measured by the density measuring device. An oil content determining device determines an oil content at the measuring time from an electrostatic capacity using the correlation characteristics obtained by the computing device.

In an ejector used for an ejector cycle system, a nozzle has a first refrigerant passage, a second refrigerant passage, and a third refrigerant passage in this order in a refrigerant flow direction from a refrigerant inlet toward a refrigerant outlet of the nozzle. The first refrigerant passage, the second refrigerant passage and the third refrigerant passage are formed into cylindrical shapes, respectively, each having a constant passage diameter. Further, a pressure increasing portion of the ejector is also formed into a cylindrical shape having a constant passage diameter. Accordingly, the ejector can be readily manufactured in low cost.

A heat pump cycle system which can switches cooling operation and heating operation for a compartment includes a first inside heat exchanger and a second inside heat exchanger disposed in an air conditioning case. The first inside heat exchanger is disposed in the air conditioning case at a downstream air side of the second inside heat exchanger, while being arranged in line in a flow direction of refrigerant. The first inside heat exchanger is upstream from the second inside heat exchanger in the flow direction of refrigerant during the heating operation. In the heat pump cycle system, an expansion valve is controlled so that coefficient of performance in each operation becomes approximately maximum. Thus, during the heating operation of the heat pump cycle system, a lower limit temperature of air blown from the inside heat exchangers can be increased so that temperature of air blown into the compartment is increased, while the coefficient of performance is improved.
