    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling apparatus which ensures safety by preventing combustible refrigerant, which is employed as refrigerant for a refrigerating cycle, from igniting when external pressure is imposed. SOLUTION: A main body 1 of a cooling and heating vending machine has a structure wherein the combustible refrigerant of a hydrocarbon base is enclosed in the refrigerating cycle in which a compressor 10, a condenser 11, an evaporator 6 and the like are connected through piping. The main body 1 is provided with an impact sensor 13 for outputting signals for switching off a main power source upon imposition of a given external pressure, and a hydrocarbon sensor 14 for switching off a heater in the main body 1 by detecting leakage of the combustible refrigerant in the main body 1.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent oil amount insufficiency of a compressor of a low capacity side, by communicating one end of an oil equalizing bypass with the vicinity of standard oil level height of a shell of partial compressor, communicating many ends with a suction pipe of the other compressor, and providing a throttle on the way of the both ends. SOLUTION: Oil equalizing tube connecting pipes 2a to 2c are provided near standard oil level height of shells of a plurality of compressors 1a to 1c. An oil equalizing tube 3 communicates with one ends of the pipes 2a to 2c. A vapor liquid separator 6 having a gas refrigerant exhaust port 7 for exhausting only gas refrigerant is provided at a suction pipe 5a of an upstream side from suction branch parts 4a, 4b of the compressors 1a to 1c. One end of an oil equalizing bypass 9 closely communicates with standard oil level height of the shells of the partial compressors 1b, 1c. Many ends communicate with the pipe 5a of the other compressor 1a, and a throttle is formed on the way of the both ends. Thus, oil amount insufficiency of the compressor of low capacity side can be prevented.
