Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A heat recovery refrigeration device includes a compressor, a plurality of heat source side heat exchangers, and a plurality of usage side heat exchangers. The heat exchangers are switchable between individually functioning as an evaporator or a radiator. The heat recovery refrigeration device performs heat recovery between the usage side heat exchangers by sending the refrigerant from at least one of the usage side heat exchangers functioning as a radiator to at least one of the usage side heat exchangers functioning as an evaporator. The plurality of heat source side heat exchangers include a first heat source side heat exchanger and a second heat source side heat exchanger. The second heat source side heat exchanger has a heat exchange capacity 1.8 times to 4.0 times of the first heat source side heat exchanger.
