A refrigerant cycle provides a heat pump cycle apparatus. An outdoor heat exchanger, a control valve, and a refrigerant container are arranged in series in this order. The outdoor heat exchanger provides a passage in which a passage cross-sectional area of the refrigerant changes. When the outdoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the flow direction of the refrigerant is a direction in which the passage cross-sectional area becomes relatively small. When the outdoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the flow direction of the refrigerant is a direction in which the passage cross-sectional area becomes relatively large. In both flow directions, the refrigerant container acts as a receiver.
