  • Publication number: 20240167741
    Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus 10 according to one embodiment opens a liquid bypass control valve 16B when a discharge temperature of the refrigerant, which has been discharged from a compressor 11 and does not yet flow into a condenser 12, exceeds a threshold value, and closes the liquid bypass control valve 16B when the discharge temperature is equal to or less than the threshold value. In addition, the refrigeration apparatus 10 regulates revolutions of the compressor 11 such that an evaporation pressure of the refrigerant, which flows through a refrigeration circuit 10A at a position downstream of an evaporator 14 and upstream of the compressor 11, the position being downstream of a downstream-end connection point of a liquid bypass flow path 16A, corresponds to a preset target evaporation pressure.
