A refrigeration apparatus 100 includes a first refrigerant circuit 50 having a first evaporator 4, a second refrigerant circuit 60 having a second condenser 7, and a cascade condenser 15 formed by the first evaporator 4 and the second condenser 7. The second refrigerant circuit 60 of the refrigeration apparatus 100 includes a receiver 8, a tank 14, a bypass 13, and a bypass valve 13a. The receiver is disposed between the second condenser 7 and a second expansion valve 10. The tank 14 is connected to a second compressor 5 and stores excess refrigerating machine oil 18 in the second compressor 5 so as to adjust the amount of refrigerating machine oil 18 in the second compressor 5. The bypass 13 connects the receiver 8 and the tank 14 to each other. The bypass valve 13a is disposed in the bypass 13, opens the bypass 13 when a high-side pressure in the second refrigerant circuit 60 increases to a predetermined pressure or more, and closes the bypass 13 when the high-side pressure in the second refrigerant circuit 60 decreases to the predetermined pressure or less. |
