Abstract (en)

A refrigeration apparatus (10) includes a plurality of utilization-side units (12) connected to a heat-source-side unit (11) through a pair of interconnecting pipes (14, 15). While one or some of the utilization-side units (12) are in a suspended state, a controller (90) performs a pressure control operation. The pressure control operation is performed to control the degree of opening of a heat-source-side expansion valve (38) to prevent the pressure of a refrigerant in the liquid interconnecting pipe (14) from exceeding a predetermined upper limit. The controller (90) performs the pressure control operation to prevent a liquid hammer phenomenon caused by opening solenoid valves of the utilization-side units (12).
