Abstract
As a refrigerant, a refrigerant containing a fluorocarbon having a property of causing a disproportionation reaction is used. A refrigeration apparatus includes: a refrigerant temperature detector configured to detect a discharged refrigerant temperature which is a temperature of the refrigerant that is being discharged from the compression mechanism or immediately after the discharge; and a controller configured to control the discharged refrigerant temperature detected by the refrigerant temperature detector such that the discharged refrigerant temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature Ts.
Claims15
A refrigeration apparatus comprising a refrigerant circuit to which a compressor for compressing a refrigerant is connected, wherein
- the refrigerant contains a fluorocarbon having a property of causing a disproportionation reaction,
- the compressor includes:
- a casing;
- an electric motor housed in the casing;
- a compression mechanism driven by the electric motor and configured to discharge the refrigerant, which has been compressed, into an internal space of the casing;
- and
- a discharge pipe configured to send the refrigerant in the internal space to the refrigerant circuit, and
- the refrigeration apparatus includes:
- a refrigerant temperature detector configured to detect a discharged refrigerant temperature which is a temperature of the refrigerant that is being discharged from the compression mechanism or immediately after the discharge;
- and
- a controller configured to control the discharged refrigerant temperature detected by the refrigerant temperature detector such that the discharged refrigerant temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature Ts.
