Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus comprising a refrigerating cycle having compressors, a condenser, a liquid receiver, expansion valves and evaporators; and a suction pressure sensor for detecting a pressure on suction sides of the compressors; wherein when the suction pressure has at least a capacity-up pressure value, it causes an increase in the number of compressors being operated or the operating frequency; and wherein when a time period, in which the suction pressure remains in at least the capacity-up pressure value, and a time period, in which the suction pressure remains in at most the capacity-down pressure value, are compared with each other and calculated, and the latter time period is longer than the former time period, at least one of the capacity-up pressure value and the capacity-down pressure value is made larger than said each pressure value.
