Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012140492A2] A heat exchange apparatus 1 that performs heat exchange between a refrigerant and a temperature-adjusted unit 31 includes: a compressor (12) that circulates the refrigerant; a heat exchanger (14) that performs heat exchange between the refrigerant and outside air; an expansion valve (16) that reduces a pressure of the refrigerant; a heat exchanger (18) that performs heat exchange between the refrigerant and air-conditioning air; a cooling passage (32) that forms a path for the refrigerant to flow between the heat exchanger (14) and the expansion valve (16); and a heating passage (33) that forms a path for the refrigerant to flow between the expansion valve (16) and the heat exchanger (18). The temperature-adjusted unit (31) is disposed to be capable of exchanging heat with the refrigerant flowing through the cooling passage (32) and to be capable of exchanging heat with the refrigerant flowing through the heating passage (33).
