- the second refrigerant discharged from the second compressor 21 is sent to the cascade heat exchanger 17 and, when flowing through the second cascade channel 17b, the second refrigerant radiates heat by heat exchange with the first refrigerant flowing through the first cascade channel 17a.
- the second refrigerant, which has radiated heat in the cascade heat exchanger 17, is decompressed in the heat-source expansion valve 26, then evaporates by heat exchange with the outdoor air supplied by the outdoor fan 9 in the second outdoor heat exchanger 23, and is suctioned into the second compressor 21.
- the first refrigerant discharged from the first compressor 11 is sent to the utilization channel 13a of the utilization heat exchanger 13 via the switching valve 12a of the first switching mechanism 12.
- the first refrigerant flowing through the utilization channel 13a of the utilization heat exchanger 13 is condensed by heat exchange with the water flowing through the thermal load channel 13b of the utilization heat exchanger 13 included in the thermal load circuit 90.

- the first refrigerant evaporated in the first cascade channel 17a of the cascade heat exchanger 17 is suctioned into the first compressor 11.
- the low-load heating operation is performed when a low-load condition is satisfied, which is that the heating load to be processed in the thermal-load heat exchanger 91 of the thermal load circuit 90 is small in a case where the heating operation is performed.
- the low load condition is not limited, but may be, for example, a condition that the heating load in the thermal-load heat exchanger 91 of the thermal load circuit 90 is a load that may be processed even when the compression ratio of the first compressor 11 is equal to or less than a predetermined compression ratio.
- the predetermined compression ratio here may be, for example, a compression ratio of the first compressor 11 at which the degree of reduction in the operating efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1 due to the heat exchange loss in the cascade heat exchanger 17 when the heating operation of the dual refrigeration cycle is performed in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1 is larger than the degree of reduction in the operating efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1 when the heating load process by the heating operation of the dual refrigeration cycle in which both the first refrigerant circuit 10 and the second refrigerant circuit 20 are operated is changed to the heating load process by the heating operation of the single refrigeration cycle in which only the first refrigerant circuit 10 is operated.
- the predetermined compression ratio here may be, for example, the compression ratio of the first compressor 11 at which the coefficient of performance (COP) when the heating load is processed by the single refrigeration cycle in which only the first refrigerant circuit 10 is operated is larger than the coefficient of performance (COP) when the heating load is processed by the dual refrigeration cycle in which both the first refrigerant circuit 10 and the second refrigerant circuit 20 are operated in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1.
- the low load condition is not limited to the conditions based on the predetermined compression ratio, and may be, for example, that the temperature of the fluid required in the thermal-load heat exchanger 91 of the thermal load circuit 90 is equal to or more than a predetermined value or that the difference between the outside air temperature and the temperature of the fluid required in the thermal-load heat exchanger 91 of the thermal load circuit 90 is equal to or more than a predetermined value, or these predetermined values may be previously set based on the above-described predetermined compression ratio.
- the threshold value used for the determination of the low load condition may be previously set and held in a memory, or the like, of the controller 7.
- the first refrigerant circuit 10 performs the refrigeration cycle such that the utilization heat exchanger 13 functions as a condenser of the first refrigerant, the first refrigerant is not sent to the cascade heat exchanger 17, and the first outdoor heat exchanger 18 functions as an evaporator of the first refrigerant, and the operation of the second refrigerant circuit 20 is stopped.
- the first refrigerant circuit 10 performs the single refrigeration cycle. Specifically, the switching valves 12a, 12b of the first switching mechanism 12 are switched to the connection states indicated in the broken lines in Fig.
- the pump 92, the first compressor 11, and the outdoor fan 9 are driven, the first utilization expansion valve 15 is fully closed, and the valve opening degree of the second utilization expansion valve 16 is controlled such that the degree of superheating of the first refrigerant suctioned by the first compressor 11 satisfies a predetermined condition.
- the number of rotations of the first compressor 11 is controlled such that the heating load of the thermal-load heat exchanger 91 in the thermal load circuit 90 may be processed.
- the second compressor 21 is stopped so that the operation of the second refrigerant circuit 20 is stopped.
- the first refrigerant discharged from the first compressor 11 is sent to the utilization channel 13a of the utilization heat exchanger 13 via the switching valve 12a of the first switching mechanism 12.
- the first refrigerant flowing through the utilization channel 13a of the utilization heat exchanger 13 is condensed by heat exchange with the water flowing through the thermal load channel 13b of the utilization heat exchanger 13 included in the thermal load circuit 90.
- the water heated by this heat exchange is sent to the thermal-load heat exchanger 91 in the thermal load circuit 90 to process the heating load.
- the first refrigerant condensed in the utilization channel 13a of the utilization heat exchanger 13 does not flow into the first utilization expansion valve 15 in the fully closed state, but is decompressed in the second utilization expansion valve 16 whose opening degree is controlled.
- the refrigerant decompressed by the second utilization expansion valve 16 evaporates by heat exchange with the air in the air flow formed by the outdoor fan 9.
- the first refrigerant evaporated in the first outdoor heat exchanger 18 is suctioned into the first compressor 11.
- the first refrigerant circuit 10 uses the first refrigerant having a sufficiently low global warming potential (GWP). Furthermore, the second refrigerant circuit 20 uses the second refrigerant having a sufficiently low ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a sufficiently low global warming potential (GWP). This may prevent deteriorations of the global environment.
- GWP global warming potential
- the high-load heating operation is performed when the heating load is high so that the heating load is processed.
- the dual refrigeration cycle is performed, in which the second refrigerant circuit 20 serves as a heat-source side cycle and the first refrigerant circuit 10 serves as a utilization side cycle, and thus the capability during the heating operation may be easily ensured as compared with the case where the single refrigeration cycle is performed, in which the first refrigerant, which is a low-pressure refrigerant, is used.
- the first refrigerant circuit 10 uses the first refrigerant having a pressure of 1.2 MPa or less at 30°C instead of the second refrigerant having a pressure of 1.5 MPa or more at 30°C. Therefore, the density of the first refrigerant suctioned by the first compressor 11 of the first refrigerant circuit 10 may be increased, and the efficiency of the first compressor 11 may be enhanced. Further, the capacity of the first compressor 11 may be reduced.
- the first refrigerant circuit 10 includes the first outdoor heat exchanger 18 that is connected in parallel to the cascade heat exchanger 17. Therefore, even when the second refrigerant circuit 20 is in the operation stop state and thus heat is not exchanged between the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant in the cascade heat exchanger 17, the first refrigerant may exchange heat with air in the first outdoor heat exchanger 18. Thus, the first refrigerant circuit 10 may perform the refrigeration cycle even when the second refrigerant circuit 20 is in the operation stop state. Specifically, in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the second refrigerant circuit 20 is in the operation stop state, the first refrigerant circuit 10 may be operated to perform the low-load heating operation by the single refrigeration cycle.
- the low-load heating operation which is a single refrigeration cycle using only the first refrigerant circuit 10
- the low-load heating operation is performed instead of the dual refrigeration cycle. Accordingly, it is possible to process the heating load while suppressing the compression ratio in the first compressor 11 so as to be small and also to prevent the loss at the time of heat exchange between the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant in the cascade heat exchanger 17 and thus suppress a reduction in the operating efficiency of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1 so as to be small.
- the second refrigerant circuit 20 uses carbon dioxide as the second refrigerant
- the second refrigerant circuit 20 does not perform the refrigeration cycle during the cooling operation
- the first refrigerant circuit 10 performs the single refrigeration cycle.
- the cooling operation may be performed while avoiding a reduction in the operating efficiency due to the pressure of the carbon dioxide refrigerant exceeding the critical pressure as in the case of performing the single refrigeration cycle using the carbon dioxide refrigerant, which is a high-pressure refrigerant, or the case of performing the dual refrigeration cycle using carbon dioxide, which is a high-pressure refrigerant, in the heat-source side cycle.
- the second refrigerant circuit 20 is used only as the refrigeration cycle on the heat source side in the dual refrigeration cycle during the high-load heating operation. For this reason, it is possible to manufacture the apparatus at low costs by setting low pressure capacity criteria required for components of the second refrigerant circuit 20 using carbon dioxide that is a high-pressure refrigerant.
- the second outdoor heat exchanger 23, in which the carbon dioxide refrigerant is present is located on the windward side of the first outdoor heat exchanger 18 in the direction of the air flow of the outdoor fan 9. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the air heated by heat exchange with the first refrigerant flowing through the first outdoor heat exchanger 18 from being sent to the second outdoor heat exchanger 23. This prevents an increase in the pressure of the carbon dioxide refrigerant in the second outdoor heat exchanger 23 due to the heated air sent to the second outdoor heat exchanger 23 in a state where the operation of the second refrigerant circuit 20 is stopped as in the low-load heating operation.
- the second outdoor heat exchanger 23 and the first outdoor heat exchanger 18 use the common outdoor fan 9 so that the fan may be shared.
- the second outdoor heat exchanger 23 and the first outdoor heat exchanger 18 are located away from each other in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. Therefore, an increase in the pressure of the carbon dioxide refrigerant in the second outdoor heat exchanger 23 is prevented as the heat of the first outdoor heat exchanger 18 is prevented from being transferred to the second outdoor heat exchanger 23 even in a state where the operation of the second refrigerant circuit 20 is stopped as in the low-load heating operation.
- the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1 includes the thermal load circuit 90 and the utilization heat exchanger 13 includes the utilization channel 13a and the thermal load channel 13b.

- the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1a includes, for example, a thermal load fan 92a that forms an air flow, instead of the pump 92 of the thermal load circuit 90 according to the above embodiment.
- the thermal load fan 92a is driven and controlled by the controller 7 when the first refrigerant circuit 10 is driven.
- the utilization heat exchanger 13 in the refrigeration cycle apparatus 1a according to the second embodiment is used for cooling or heating the air in a space such as a room of a building.
