When the flow quantity of a refrigerant at one refrigerant outlet (22) is switched in a refrigerant valve device (1), a valve element drive mechanism (52) rotates a valve element (27) to switch a refrigerant flow path leading from a refrigerant inlet (12) to the refrigerant outlet (22) via a valve chamber (36). At this time, the refrigerant inlet (12) is in a fully open state, and the valve element (27) switches the refrigerant flow path between the valve chamber (36) and the refrigerant outlet (22) between a first refrigerant flow path with a small flow quantity and a second refrigerant flow path with a large flow quantity. Accordingly, the valve element (27) can be disposed so as to rotate around a position biased to the refrigerant outlet (22) out of the refrigerant inlet (12) and the refrigerant outlet (22), thereby enabling downsizing of the valve element (27). |
