Abstract:
A refrigeration cycle device includes a compressor, an air-refrigerant heat exchanger that exchanges heat between air and refrigerant, an expansion valve decompressing the refrigerant, a heat medium-refrigerant heat exchanger that exchanges heat between a heat medium and the refrigerant, a cold-heat utilization device that utilizes cold heat of the heat medium, and a hot-heat utilization device that utilizes hot heat of the heat medium. A refrigerant flow switching valve is provided to switch between a heat-medium cooling mode of cooling the heat medium in the heat medium-refrigerant heat exchanger, and a heat-medium heating mode of heating the heat medium in the heat medium-refrigerant heat exchanger. In addition, a heat medium flow switching device is provided such that, in the heat-medium cooling mode, the heat medium circulates between the heat medium-refrigerant heat exchanger and the cold-heat utilization device, and that in the heat-medium heating mode, the heat medium circulates between the heat medium-refrigerant heat exchanger and the hot-heat utilization device.

Claim (Index 8):
The refrigeration cycle device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n at least one of the air-refrigerant heat exchanger and the heat medium- refrigerant heat exchanger has a flow-path cross-sectional area for the refrigerant decreased from an upstream side to a downstream side in a flow direction of the refrigerant when exchanging heat with the refrigerant provided before being decompressed by the decompression device, and has the flow-path cross- sectional area for the refrigerant increased from the upstream side to the downstream side in the flow direction of the refrigerant when exchanging heat with the refrigerant provided after being decompressed by the decompression device.
