In a heat pump apparatus having a refrigerating cycle including a compressor 1 , a gas cooler 3 , a pressure reducing device 5 and an evaporator 7 in which water can be heated by the gas cooler, the compressor 1 comprises a two-stage compression type compressor for leading all or a part of refrigerant compressed to an intermediate pressure at a first stage through a shell case 11 to a second stage, compressing the intermediate-pressure refrigerant to a high pressure at a second stage and discharging the high-pressure refrigerant, and there is equipped a defrosting circuit 33 for leading the intermediate-pressure refrigerant of the first stage of the compressor 1 to the evaporator 7 with bypassing the gas cooler 3 and the pressure reducing device 5. |
