Abstract

In the case that heat absorbing means that function in selectively different temperature ranges, are provided in a refrigerating cycle, an object is to provide a refrigerating apparatus capable of suppressing the deterioration of efficiency in either temperature range to make a highly efficient operation possible. The refrigerating apparatus includes a compressor, a radiator, first heat absorbing means, and second heat absorbing means provided in parallel with the first heat absorbing means. The first heat absorbing means includes first decompressing means, a first heat absorber, and a first heat exchanger capable of heat exchange between a refrigerant which has come from the first heat absorber and a refrigerant flowing in the first decompressing means. The second heat absorbing means includes second decompressing means, a second heat absorber, and a second heat exchanger capable of heat exchange between a refrigerant which has come from the second heat absorber and a refrigerant flowing in the second decompressing means.
