Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4265980A1] A cold source unit (2) includes: a refrigerant flow path (F1) to be connected to a load apparatus (3) and thereby form a circulation flow path in which refrigerant circulates; a compressor (10) disposed in the refrigerant flow path (F1); an oil separator (20) disposed on a discharge side of the compressor (10) in the refrigerant flow path (F1); an oil return path (F2) to return refrigeration oil from the oil separator (20) to the compressor (10); a flow rate adjustment device (LEV2) disposed in the oil return path (F2) and configured to adjust a flow rate of fluid flowing in the oil return path (F2); a first pressure sensor (131) to detect a pressure on a suction side of the compressor (10); a second pressure sensor (132) to detect a pressure on the discharge side of the compressor; and a controller (100) to control the opening of the flow rate adjustment device (LEV2) based on the pressure (PL) detected by the first pressure sensor (131) and the pressure (PH) detected by the second pressure sensor.
