With this configuration, a hot water refrigerant is made to circulate through the hot-water supply refrigeration cycle 63.
  • the air-conditioning refrigeration cycle 59 and the hot-water supply refrigeration cycle 63 are connected to each other so that the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot-water supply refrigerant are heat-exchanged with each other in the refrigerant-refrigerant heat exchanger 57.

  • the high pressure-side pressure of the second refrigerant in the evaporator is reduced, and thereby, the amount of heat exchange between the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant in the evaporator is reduced, so that the degree of superheat of the first refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporator is reduced. Therefore, the discharge temperature of the compressor can be reduced.
  • the high pressure-side pressure of the second refrigerant in the evaporator can be adjusted to a desired value.
  • the condensation temperature of the second refrigeration circuit is high and thereby a heating load is high, or when cooling operation is performed at a high outside air temperature, the discharge temperature of the compressor can be reduced, and thereby, the reliability of the compressor can be improved.
