Abstract (en)

A refrigerating cycle system of a vapor compression system has a constitution wherein a first compressor (1a), a first radiator (2a), an expansion mechanism (3a), a heat absorber (4), and a second compressor (1b) connected sequentially and circularly. A CO2 refrigerant is circulated in the sequence of the first compressor (1a) -> the first radiator (2a) -> the expansion mechanism (3a)-> the heat absorber (4) -> the second compressor (1b) -> the first compressor (1a). The rotating drive shaft of the second compressor (1b) is connected to the rotating output shaft of the expansion mechanism (3a) with a common shaft. Thereby, since the drive force of the second compressor (1b) is obtained from the power generated by the refrigerant expanding action of the expansion mechanism (3a), the power of the first compressor (1a) consumed for elevating the pressure of the refrigerant to a predetermined pressure can be minimized. <IMAGE>
