ABSTRACT:
A receiver is located in a refrigerating circuit that includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator. The receiver receives and temporarily reserves liquefied refrigerant sent from the compressor by way of the condenser. The expansion valve atomizes the liquefied refrigerant sent from the receiver and supplies the atomized refrigerant to the evaporator. The receiver includes a tank for reserving the liquefied refrigerant sent from the condenser and a head portion located on the tank. The head portion houses the expansion valve. The expansion valve includes a restricting mechanism for adjusting the flow rate of the refrigerant supplied to the evaporator from the tank and a control mechanism for controlling the restricting mechanism in accordance with the temperature of the refrigerant transferred to the compressor from the evaporator.
