An object of the present invention is to keep an appropriate amount of a refrigerant to be circulated through a refrigerant circuit and prevent an overload operation of compression means due to high pressure abnormality in a refrigerating apparatus which obtains a supercritical pressure on a high pressure side. The refrigerating apparatus which obtains the supercritical pressure on the high pressure side comprises a refrigerant amount regulation tank connected to the refrigerant circuit on the high pressure side via a communicating circuit; a communicating circuit which connects the upper part of this tank to a medium pressure region of the refrigerant circuit; a communicating circuit which connects the lower part of the tank to the medium pressure region of the refrigerant circuit; an electromotive expansion valve of the communicating circuit; an electromagnetic valve of the communicating circuit; an electromagnetic valve of the communicating circuit; and control means for controlling these valves to collect a refrigerant circulated through the refrigerant circuit in the tank and discharging the refrigerant to the refrigerant circuit.
