Thus, even in an operation condition in which suction capacity of the ejector is decreased in accordance with a decrease of the flow amount of a drive flow of the ejector, the suction capacity of the ejector can be supplemented by the operation of the second compression mechanism. Accordingly, even when a variation in the flow amount of the drive flow is caused, the ejector-type refrigeration cycle device can be stably operated. | 01-13-2011 |
