A refrigerating apparatus including a refrigerant circuit constituted by a compressor, a condenser, a first expansion device, a gas-liquid separator, a second expansion device and an evaporator which are successively connected. An injection path interconnects an upper part of the gas-liquid separator and a cylinder of the compressor during the compression stroke thereof. An auxiliary path is formed by connecting a solenoid valve closed in the normal operation and an auxiliary expansion device, with the auxiliary path being provided between the gas-liquid separator and the evaporator so as to be parallel to the second expansion device, and connected to the gas-liquid separator at a position higher than the connecting position of the second expansion device to the gas-liquid separator. The solenoid valve is opened when the load on the refrigerating apparatus increases. A main flow path resistance member may be provided in the injection path, and a further path formed by connecting an injection solenoid valve for injection, open during the normal operation and an auxiliary flow path resistance member together with the further path being connected in parallel to the main flow path resistance member. The injection solenoid valve is closed when the load on the refrigerating apparatus increases.
