Abstract: A control unit configured to control a manipulated variable of an operational object so that a current value of a controlled object, which is one measurement obtained by the measurement unit configured to measure an operating state variable of the refrigerant circuit, reaches a target value of the controlled object determined based on measurements other than the one measurement. The control unit determines, while the current value is lower than a lower limit value of an upper limit value and the lower limit value of a settling range in which the target value is centered, the manipulated variable by using the upper limit value as a target value, determines the manipulated variable by using the lower limit value as a target value, and determines, after the current value falls within the settling range, the manipulated variable based on a reference allowable overshoot ratio Xb, which is a preset overshoot ratio.
