- the refrigerant evaporated in the use side heat exchanger (41, 42, 43) is sucked into the low stage compression mechanism (30a). Then, the gas refrigerant that has been compressed by the low-stage compression mechanism (30a) and overheated is sent to the high-stage compression mechanism (30b). Further, the saturated gas refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator (35) is also sent to the high-stage compression mechanism (30b) via the gas pipe (37). The high stage compression mechanism (30b) sucks and compresses the gas refrigerant from the low stage compression mechanism (30a) and the gas refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator (35).
- the refrigerant is compressed to a pressure higher than the critical pressure by the compressor (30). That is, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor (30) is in a supercritical state. As a result, even when wet refrigerant is sucked into the compressor (30), liquid refrigerant does not exist at least in the discharge section, and so-called liquid compression is reliably avoided.
- the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant from which the expander (31) force has also flowed out is cooled by the cooling means (36, 45) of the heat source side circuit (14). After this, the liquid single phase is forcibly set and then distributed to each user circuit (11, 12, 13).

- the pressure loss generated in the process in which the refrigerant flows to the use side circuit (11, 12, 13) is also applied to the heat source side circuit (14) force. Even if the temperature varies depending on the use side circuit (11, 12, 13), the state of the refrigerant (ratio of liquid refrigerant to gas refrigerant) does not cause a bias in the heat source side circuit (14) to the use side circuit (11 , 12, 13), the amount of refrigerant supplied to each use side circuit (11, 12, 13) can be accurately controlled as compared with the case of sending the refrigerant in a gas-liquid two-phase state. Therefore, the controllability of the cooling capacity during the cooling operation can be improved in each usage side circuit (11, 12, 13) regardless of the arrangement of the usage side circuits (11, 12, 13).

It is provided in the use side circuit (11, 12, 13). Therefore, the refrigerant flows from the heat source side circuit (14) to the usage side circuit (11, 12, 13). If the pressure loss that occurs during the distribution process differs depending on the usage side circuit (11, 12, 13), the difference in pressure loss between the usage side circuits (11, 12, 13) is determined by the usage side expansion valve (51, 52). , 53).
- the heat source side circuit (14) force is also different in pipe length to each usage side circuit (11,12,13), or each usage side circuit (11,12,13)

(11, 12, 13) can improve the controllability of the cooling capacity during the cooling operation.
- the refrigerant sent from the heat source side circuit (14) to the use side circuit (11, 12, 13) using the gas-liquid separator (35) is simply liquid. Put it in phase.
- the variable use opening-side expansion valve (51, 52, 53) is used so that the expansion stroke in the refrigeration cycle is performed not only in the heat source side circuit (14) but also in the usage side circuit (11, 12, 13). It is provided in the use side circuit (11, 12, 13).
- the liquid separator (35) Since the liquid separator (35) is provided, it is possible to prevent the refrigerant supplied between the use side circuits (11, 12, 13) from being biased, and the use side expansion valve ( By adjusting the opening degree of 51, 52, 53), the amount of refrigerant flowing into each user circuit (11, 12, 13) can be installed arbitrarily. Therefore, the amount of refrigerant supplied to each usage circuit (11, 12, 13) can be accurately controlled regardless of the arrangement of the usage circuit (11, 12, 13). It is possible to improve the controllability of the cooling capacity during the cooling operation in the paths (11, 12, 13).
- the refrigerant circuit (10) is configured so that the high pressure of the refrigeration cycle causes the refrigerant to enter. Since the supercritical cycle higher than the field pressure is performed, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor (30) is surely overheated. Therefore, even if the refrigerant in the wet state is sucked into the compressor (30), the refrigerant is already overheated at the discharge portion of the compressor (30), so that liquid compression in the compressor (30) can be reliably prevented. Can do. As a result, the reliability of the refrigeration apparatus (20) can be improved.
