Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3486578A1] A refrigeration apparatus (10) includes a utilization-side unit (12) and a heat source-side unit (11) connected together through a pair of connection pipes (14, 15). When the utilization-side unit (12) is switched from a cooling state to a suspended state, a controller (90) closes a heat source-side expansion valve (38), and then stops a compressor (31a-31c) and closes a utilization-side solenoid valve (62). This can avoid a liquid hammer phenomenon that occurs upon opening the utilization-side solenoid valve (62) of the utilization-side unit (12).
