Abstract
A refrigerating apparatus includes: a refrigerating circuit in which a refrigerant that is discharged from a compressor is conveyed under pressure sequentially to a first flow rate controlling apparatus, a heat storing tank, a condenser, a first decompressing apparatus, and an evaporator, and is recycled to the compressor; a defrosting circuit in which the refrigerant that is discharged from the compressor is conveyed under pressure sequentially to the first flow rate controlling apparatus, the heat storing tank, the first decompressing apparatus, and the evaporator, and is recycled to the compressor; and a flow channel switching apparatus that connects an outlet side of the heat storing tank to an inlet side of the condenser or to an inlet side of the first decompressing apparatus to form the refrigerating circuit or the defrosting circuit.
