A plate-type refrigerant pipe includes: a first plate made of stainless steel; a second plate made of stainless steel; and a coupling pipe, made of a material that is different from stainless steel, attached to one or both of the first plate and the second plate. The first plate and the second plate are joined to form a refrigerant flow path. The coupling pipe is connected to a refrigerant pipe at a connecting surface of refrigerant pipe. The material of the coupling pipe is identical to a material of the connecting surface of the refrigerant pipe.

Plate-type refrigerant pipe and refrigeration apparatus

A plate-type refrigerant pipe includes: a first plate; and a second plate. The first plate and the second plate are joined to form a refrigerant flow path. The first plate includes a first recessed groove that forms at least part of the refrigerant flow path and that has an arc shape in a cross section of the refrigerant flow path. A center of the arc shape of the first recessed groove is on a side of the first plate with respect to a joining surface where the first plate and the second plate are joined.

A refrigerant pipe unit includes: a first plate; a second plate stacked on the first plate; and a control valve. One or both of the first plate and the second plate include a refrigerant flow path. The control valve includes: a valve body that includes a refrigerant passage communicating with the refrigerant flow path, rotates in the first plate, and changes a flow of a refrigerant in the refrigerant flow path with an amount of rotation of the valve body; and a driver that adjusts the amount of the rotation of the valve body.

Refrigerant pipe unit and refrigeration apparatus

A plate-type refrigerant pipe includes: a first plate; and a second plate. The first plate and the second plate are joined to form a refrigerant flow path. The first plate includes a first connection portion to which a first refrigerant pipe is connected and that causes the refrigerant flow path to communicate with the first refrigerant pipe. The second plate includes a second connection portion to which a second refrigerant pipe is connected and that causes the refrigerant flow path to communicate with the second refrigerant pipe. One or both of the first plate and the second plate include a third connection portion to which a third refrigerant pipe is connected and that causes the refrigerant flow path to communicate with the third refrigerant pipe.
