Abstract (en)

A sub-compressor (23) is provided between a compressor (22) and a power-recovery device (24). A refrigerant after preliminarily being compressed by the sub-compressor (23) is allowed to flow into the compressor (22). Since the sub-compressor (23) and the power-recovery device (24) have approximately the same temperature, heat transfer hardly occur therebetween. Heat transfer occurs between the compressor (22) at high temperature and the sub-compressor (23) at low temperature. However, even if the heat from the compressor (22) heats the refrigerant in the sub-compressor (23), the refrigerant discharged from the sub-compressor (23) is delivered to the compressor (22), and thus the temperature of the sub-compressor (23) scarcely increases.
