    Abstract: A refrigeration device 30 includes two independent refrigeration circuits: the first refrigeration circuit 31A having an inverter compressor 32A and the second refrigeration circuit 31B having a constant-speed compressor 32B. An evaporator 37 is shared by both refrigeration circuits 31A, 31B. The inverter compressor 32A is normally driven and the constant-speed compressor 32B is additionally driven as necessary. The evaporator 37 includes a group of fins 41 having a plurality of fins 40 positioned along an airflow direction and arranged with a gap therebetween in a direction across the airflow direction. Evaporation tubes are routed in four tiers while penetrating through the fins 40 in the group of fins 41 and running in a zigzag in the airflow direction. The first evaporation tube 45A of the first refrigeration circuit 31A is arranged in the lower two tiers and the second evaporation tube 45B of the second refrigeration circuit 31B is arranged in the upper two tiers.
