Claim 18:
19. A fluid circulation circuit for a fluid circulating, the fluid circulation circuit comprising:
apparatuses for the fluid flowing therethrough; and
a flow passage switching valve configured to switch a circuit configuration of a circuit that is for the fluid circulating, wherein
the flow passage switching valve includes a body forming therein a fluid passage for the fluid flowing therethrough, and a switcher configured to switch a passage configuration of the fluid passage,
the body includes a first inlet for the fluid flowing into the body, a second inlet for the fluid flowing into the body, and outlets for the fluid having flowed into the boy and flowing out of the body,
the outlets include a first outlet for the fluid having flowed in from the first inlet and flows out of the body,
the switcher is configured such that the passage configuration is switchable to a state in which the fluid that has flowed in from the first inlet flows out of either one of the outlets,
the switcher is configured such that the passage configuration is switchable to a state in which the fluid that has flowed in from the second inlet flows out of either one of the outlets, and
a first pressure of the fluid flowing into the first inlet is set to be higher than a second pressure of the fluid flowing into the second inlet.
