A refrigerant cycle unit having a side heat exchanger for dehumidifying a space, and a heating mode for delivering a refrigerant from a compressor into an internal gas cooler. The refrigerant cycle unit further includes a cooling mode delivering the refrigerant from the compressor into the external heat exchanger, and after being decompressed by the compressor flowing the refrigerant into an evaporator and into the internal gas cooler. The refrigerant flows into the evaporator, and the decompressed refrigerant flows into the external heat exchanger and the two refrigerants are discharged from the evaporator and the external heat exchanger, respectively, and are united together and returned to the compressor.

What is claimed is: 1. A refrigerant cycle unit comprising a utilizing side heat exchanger arranged to be capable of heat exchanging with a space to be air-conditioned, a heat source side heat exchanger arranged outside the space to be air-conditioned, and a compressor for compressing and delivering a refrigerant, and using carbon dioxide as the refrigerant and pressure on high pressure side becoming possibly supercritical pressure, wherein an internal heat exchanger is provided for heat exchanging the refrigerant discharged from the utilizing side heat exchanger and the refrigerant discharged from the heat source side heat exchanger, a heating mode can be performed in which the refrigerant delivered from the compressor is caused to flow into the utilizing side heat exchanger so as to give off heat, and after the refrigerant which has given off the heat in the utilizing side heat exchanger has been decompressed, the refrigerant is caused to flow into the heat source side heat exchanger so as to absorb heat and to be returned to the compressor, and a cooling mode can be performed in which the refrigerant delivered from the compressor is caused to flow into the heat source side heat exchanger so as to give off heat, and after the refrigerant which has given off the heat in the heat source side heat exchanger has been decompressed, the refrigerant is caused to flow into the utilizing side heat exchanger so as to absorb heat and to be returned to the compressor, and wherein the heat exchanged amount of the refrigerant in the internal heat exchanger in the cooling mode is greater than the heat exchanged amount in the heating mode. 2. The refrigerant cycle unit as set forth in claim 1, wherein the internal heat exchanger integrally comprises at least three refrigerant flow passages capable of heat exchanging with one another and having heat exchanging capabilities therebetween different from one another, and at least one refrigerant of the refrigerants discharged from the utilizing side heat exchanger and the heat source side heat exchanger, respectively, is caused to flow in the different refrigerant flow passage depending upon the heating and cooling modes to vary heat exchanged amounts of the heating and cooling modes.
