Here the method of controlling the capacity of the compressor 3 may be as follows.Although the target lowpressure value is determined so that a predetermine amount of heat exchange is demonstrated by the indoor side heat exchangers 10a 10b and the capacity is controlled it is also possible to modify the method of controlling the capacity according to the cooling state on the load side.For example when the load side is an indoor space and the air temperature in the indoor space is higher than the preset air temperature set by the user of the device an amount of heat exchange larger than that at the current moment is required.Therefore the target lowpressure value is changed to a lower value.In contrast when the air temperature in the indoor space is lower than the preset air temperature the amount of heat exchange is excessive and hence the target lowpressure value is changed to a higher value so that the amount of heat exchange becomes smaller than that of the current moment.It is also possible to control the capacity of the compressor 3 directly on the basis of the cooling state on the load side such as the deviation between the preset air temperature and the air temperature in the indoor space without the intermediary of the lowpressure.For example the capacity of the compressor 3 is increased when the air temperature in the indoor space is higher than the preset air temperature and the capacity of the compressor 3 is reduced when the air temperature in the indoor space is lower than the preset air temperature.In this manner the refrigerating air conditioning system which can reliably demonstrate a required capability can be obtained also by employing the variable capacity compressor as the compressor 3 and controlling the capacity of the compressor 3 so that the amount of cold heat required in the indoor side heat exchangers 10a 10b can be obtained by the compressor controlling means 31.
