Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3246637A1] There are included: a main circuit 30 in which a compressor 1, a condenser 3, a main expansion valve 4, and an evaporator 5 are connected in a circle, and through which refrigerant having a higher boiling point than R407C circulates; a bypass 40 (a discharged gas bypass 6 and a suction bypass 8) configured to combine a flow of part of refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 and a flow of refrigerant having flowed out of the condenser 3 into a combined flow to allow the combined flow to flow into a suction side of the compressor 1; a negative pressure regulating valve (a discharged gas bypass valve 7) configured to regulate a flow rate in the bypass 40; and a negative pressure prevention control unit 20a configured to perform a negative pressure prevention operation of controlling the negative pressure regulating valve 7 to prevent a suction pressure of the compressor 1 from becoming negative.
