To provide a refrigerating unit using ammonia as a refrigerant, which uses a lubricant that is excellent in the compatibility with an ammonia refrigerant as well as in the lubricity and the stability.
An ammonia refrigerating unit formed by a refrigerating cycle including a refrigeration compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator, wherein a working is circulated in said refrigerating cycle, the working fluid including ammonia and a lubricant that contains a polyether compound represented by one of the following formula (1) or (2):
X -O-(AO)n-H}p (1)
X -O-(AO1)a-(AO2)b -H}p (2)
[wherein X represents a residue resulting from removing a hydroxyl group from a monool or a polyol; (AO)n represents an AO chain constituted by copolymerization of EO and C3 or more AO; (AO1)a represents an AO chain constituted by copolymerization of EO and PO and/or BO; AO2 represents C3 or more AO; and in the formula (1), the number of the secondary hydroxyl groups from among hydroxyl groups at the structural terminal is 50% or more of the total number of the hydroxyl groups].
