A refrigeration apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit switchable between a first operation of performing a refrigeration cycle in which a first compressor is stopped and a second compressor is driven and a second operation of performing a refrigeration cycle in which the first and second compressors and are driven. The refrigeration apparatus further includes a reduction mechanism configured to reduce a refrigerant flowing into the first compressor while a first condition is satisfied during the first operation. The first condition indicates that an internal pressure of the first compressor is lower than an evaporation pressure of an evaporator.

Refrigerant apparatus

A refrigerant circuit includes a first compressor, a second compressor, a heat-source-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and a use-side heat exchanger. The refrigerant circuit is capable of performing a single-stage compression operation in which one of the first compressor and the second compressor is driven and the other is stopped, and a two-stage compression operation in which both the first compressor and the second compressor are driven. The control unit controls the refrigerant circuit so that, of the single-stage compression operation and the two-stage compression operation, an operation with a higher compression efficiency is performed.

Refrigeration cycle device

A refrigeration cycle apparatus has a compressor disposed via a bottom member of a housing, a second elastic member, a base, and a first elastic member. A first electric component that drives a motor for the compressor and a second electric component that performs another control are fixed to the base and disposed. The base has an upper surface that contacts the first elastic member and a lower surface that contacts the second elastic member. The first electric component and the second electric component are fixed to the upper surface directly or indirectly via a substrate and/or an electric-component casing. Top portions of the first electric component and the second electric component are lower than a top portion of the compressor.

Refrigeration cycle apparatus

A refrigeration cycle apparatus has a compressor disposed via a bottom member of a housing, second elastic members, a base, and first elastic members. The compressor is disposed close to an arrangement centroid of the second elastic members.

A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a compressor, a refrigerant cooling pipe, a refrigerant-cycle constituent component, a connecting pipe and vibration transmission suppressing portion that is disposed on the connecting pipe that connects the refrigeration-cycle constituent component or the compressor and the refrigerant cooling pipe to each other.

A bidirectional switch circuit includes two switching elements connected to conduct a current in both directions. The two switching elements are connected in series to each other. Of the two switching elements, the switching element to which a reverse voltage is applied, a voltage of a source of one of the switching elements being higher than a voltage of a drain of the one, is configured to conduct a current from the source to the drain even when an on-drive signal is not being input to a gate terminal of the one.
