Described is a regulation apparatus for a refrigeration plant having defined therein a refrigerant fluid path and a plurality of devices arranged along the refrigerant fluid path. The regulation apparatus includes a first sensor arranged in a first point (P1) and a second sensor arranged in a second point (P3), each along the fluid path of the refrigeration plant, a control unit and an actuation device. The control unit controls a first value measured by the first sensor and obtains a first regulation request deriving from the first measured value as well as a second value measured by the second sensor and derives a second regulation request deriving from the second measured value, compares the first and second regulation requests, and establishes which regulation request is greater. The control unit also commands the actuation device to actuate the most effective regulation request of the refrigeration plant devices.
