Reach compressor 24. Then, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 24 passes through the evaporation pipe 30 and reaches the condenser 32. From the receiver tank 34 through the capillary tube 26 to the compressor 2
The reason why the refrigerant is returned to 4 is to cool the motor and the like of the compressor 24 by so-called liquid injection.

【００２１】次に、図４を参照して、上記構成の冷媒回
路における冷却運転と除霜（デフロスト）運転について
説明する。Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the cooling operation and the defrosting operation in the refrigerant circuit having the above configuration will be described.
【００２２】この冷却運転と除霜（デフロスト）運転
は、図２の制御装置１００の制御に基づいて行われる。The cooling operation and defrosting operation are performed under the control of the control device 100 shown in FIG.

電磁弁２８は閉じている。In FIG. 4, the compressor 24 is operated intermittently in the cooling state. During this cooling operation, the drain pan heater is stopped and the cooling fan heater (FM, blower) is continuously operated. The solenoid valve 28 in FIG. 2 is closed.

に、圧縮機２４を始動して運転を行う。Next, during the defrosting operation, the activation of the compressor 24 is delayed by a fixed time T. At this time, the solenoid valve 28 opens. According to this, since the pressure on the discharge side of the compressor 24 escapes to the evaporator 10 through the electromagnetic valve 28, the pressure difference between the front and the rear of the compressor 24 becomes small. Then, after a certain time T has passed, the compressor 24 is started to operate.

は停止している。また、電磁弁２８は開いている。During the defrosting operation, the drain pan heater is driven and the cooling fan heater (FM, blower)
Has stopped. Further, the solenoid valve 28 is open.
【００２６】この実施例においては、一定時間Ｔは、た

定時間Ｔ２の間圧縮機２４のファンを遅延して駆動し、
ドレンパンヒータも駆動する。When a predetermined time T1 has passed after the start of the defrosting operation, the compressor 24 drains water. After the defrosting operation is completed, the fan of the compressor 24 is delayed and driven for a predetermined time T2,
It also drives the drain pan heater.

弁２８を開き、圧縮機２４の除霜運転の開始をわずかな
時間遅らせる。As described above, when using the so-called simple hot gas to defrost the evaporator 10 of FIG. 2, the control device 100 controls the solenoid valve 28 of FIG. 2 immediately before starting the defrosting operation. When opened, the defrosting operation of the compressor 24 is delayed for a short time.
【００２９】したがって、圧縮機２４の前後の圧力差を
無くすか圧縮機２４の前後の圧力を平衡状態にすること
ができるので、従来に比べて圧縮機２４の始動をスムー
ズに行うことができる。Therefore, since the pressure difference between the front and rear of the compressor 24 can be eliminated or the pressure before and after the compressor 24 can be balanced, the compressor 24 can be started more smoothly than in the conventional case.
【００３０】次に、図３の別の実施例を説明する。ただ
