  • Patent number: 6212898
    Abstract: An outdoor unit (1), a parent unit (2), a plurality of child freezers, and a plurality of child refrigerators are provided. The child freezers are disposed in individual frozen display cases, while the child refrigerators are disposed in individual refrigerated display cases. A refrigerant heat exchanger (5) is disposed in only the parent unit (2). The outdoor unit (1) and the refrigerant heat exchanger (5) form a primary refrigerant circuit. A secondary refrigerant circuit is provided in the parent unit (2). Refrigerant circulates through the secondary refrigerant circuit, passing through the refrigerant heat exchanger (5). Each child freezer is provided with a refrigeration utilization side heat exchanger (3c) and the heat exchanger (3c) and the refrigerant heat exchanger (5) form a secondary refrigerant circuit through which refrigerant circulates.
