technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a refrigeration device including an expansion mechanism, in particular to a volumetric expansion mechanism that generates power from the expansion of fluid. Background technique
[0002] Conventionally, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, in a refrigerant circuit that performs a refrigerating cycle, a refrigeration device is known that includes an expansion mechanism for recovering power from refrigerant together with a compression mechanism. The power recovered from the high-pressure refrigerant by the expansion mechanism is transmitted to the connected compression mechanism through the drive shaft, and is used to drive the compression mechanism.
[0003] However, since the refrigerant circuit is a closed circuit, the amount of refrigerant circulating through the compression mechanism per unit time (equivalent to mass flow, the same below) must always be consistent with the amount of refrigerant circulating throu...
