A heat pump cycle includes a refrigerant circuit and a coolant circuit. A first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger are disposed between the refrigerant circuit and the coolant circuit. The first heat exchanger includes an exterior heat exchanger that functions as an evaporator in a heating operation, and a radiator for radiating heat of a coolant. The second heat exchanger transmits a heat of high-pressure refrigerant to the coolant in the heating operation. A temperature of refrigerant within the second heat exchanger is higher than a temperature of refrigerant within the first heat exchanger. The heat obtained from the second heat exchanger is supplied to the first heat exchanger through the coolant. Further, the heat obtained from the second heat exchanger is stored in the coolant. In defrosting operation, the coolant that has stored the heat therein is supplied to the first heat exchanger.

In a vapor-compression refrigerant cycle system, a switching device is provided to switch one of a first mode where high-pressure refrigerant discharged from a compressor is directly introduced to an exterior heat exchanger and a second mode where the high-pressure refrigerant is directly introduced to an interior heat exchanger. When the second mode is set, the pressure of the high-pressure refrigerant is set higher than a predetermined pressure by a constant-pressure control valve. Accordingly, it can prevent heating capacity of the interior heat exchanger from being greatly changed even when thermal load of the vapor-compression refrigerant cycle system is changed, and heating capacity of the interior heat exchanger can be improved in the second mode.
