Abstract:
1. A refrigeration apparatus, comprising (a) a refrigerant circuit ( 10 ) for execution of a vapor compression refrigeration cycle including a compressor ( 21 ), a heat source side heat exchanger ( 24 ), and a utilization side heat exchanger ( 33 ) which are connected by a refrigerant pipe and (b) a contaminant recovery receptacle ( 40 ) which is connected to the suction side of the compressor ( 21 ) by an inflow pipe ( 42 ) and an outflow pipe ( 43 ), for recovering contaminants in the recovery receptacle ( 40 ) by causing refrigerant to circulate in the refrigerant circuit ( 10 ) so that gaseous refrigerant flows into the recovery receptacle ( 40 ), wherein the inflow pipe ( wherein a baffle plate (
