Abstract (en)

A control section (13) performs first and second degree-of-opening adjusting operations in a cooling mode. In the first degree-of-opening adjusting operation, the control section (13) adjusts the degree of opening of an intermediate expansion valve (36a, 36b, 36c) such that the temperature (Td) of a refrigerant discharged from a compressor (31 a, 31b, 31c) is below a higher discharged refrigerant temperature threshold (Tdth). In the second degree-of-opening adjusting operation, the control section (13) adjusts the degree of opening of a supercooling expansion valve (35) such that the temperature of a refrigerant flowing through a portion of an injection pipe (54) between a supercooling heat exchanger (34) and the intermediate expansion valve (36a, 36b, 36c) is above a freezing temperature threshold (Tfth).
