  • the adoption of the injection passageway 170 makes it possible to improve the coefficient of performance of the heat pump circuit 110. Furthermore, if, for example, the heating load is small and therefore even if a cooling effect of the primary refrigerant sufficient to improve the efficiency of the heat pump circuit 110 cannot be obtained in the intermediate pressure water heat exchanger 140, operation efficiency can be improved by increasing the amount of injection passing through the injection passageway 170.
  • the injection passageway 170 joins the passageway between the intermediate pressure water heat exchanger 140 and the high pressure stage compressor 125, and consequently the high temperature primary refrigerant discharged from the low pressure stage compressor 121 can be supplied to, without being cooled prior to reaching, the intermediate pressure water heat exchanger 140 , thereby maintaining the high temperature state as is.

  • control unit 111 reduces the valve opening degree of the primary bypass expansion valve 105b, the flow volume of the primary refrigerant that passes through the primary refrigerant heat exchanger 108 will increase, which makes it possible to increase the degree of superheating of the primary refrigerant taken in by the low pressure stage compressor 121; thereby, it is possible to reduce the compression ratio needed to make the discharge refrigerant temperature of the low pressure stage compressor 121 reach the target temperature.
  • control unit 111 increases the valve opening degree of the primary bypass expansion valve 105b, then the flow volume of the primary refrigerant that passes through the primary refrigerant heat exchanger 108 will decrease, which makes it possible to reduce the degree of superheating of the primary refrigerant taken in by the low pressure stage compressor 121; thereby, it is possible to avoid the situation wherein the density of the refrigerant taken into the low pressure stage compressor 121 decreases markedly, making it impossible to ensure the required amount of circulation.
  • control unit 111 controls the low pressure stage compressor 121, the high pressure stage compressor 125, the injection expansion valve 173, the expansion valve 105a, the primary bypass expansion valve 105b, the fan 104f, and the like.
