ABSTRACT:
For a purpose of preventing a compressor from being damaged by liquid compression without disposing any accumulator on a low-pressure side, there is disclosed a transition critical refrigerant cycle apparatus having a supercritical pressure on a high-pressure side. The transition critical refrigerant cycle apparatus constituted by connecting a compressor, a gas cooler, a pressure reducing device, an evaporator and the like in an annular shape, using carbon dioxide as a refrigerant, and capable of having the supercritical pressure on the high-pressure side comprises: an internal heat exchanger for exchanging heat between a refrigerant which has flown out of the gas cooler and a refrigerant which has flown out of the evaporator. This internal heat exchanger comprises a high-pressure-side channel through which the refrigerant from the gas cooler flows, and a low-pressure-side channel which is disposed in a heat exchanging manner with this high-pressure-side channel and through which the refrigerant from the evaporator flows, the refrigerant is passed upwards from below in the high-pressure-side channel, and the refrigerant is passed downwards from above in the low-pressure-side channel.
