The linear compressor includes a cylinder disposed in a shell to define a compression space for a refrigerant, a piston installed to reciprocate in the cylinder, a motor assembly that allows the piston to move in an axial direction of the cylinder and thereby to compress the refrigerant introduced into the compression space, a nozzle which is provided in the cylinder and through which a portion of the refrigerant introduced into the compression space passes, and a cylinder filter installed in the cylinder and disposed at an inlet-side of the nozzle. At least one or more surfaces of the cylinder filter are oil-repellent coated.

The present disclosure discloses a swashplate-type axial plunger pump with multi-channel oil feed and full-flow self-cooling and double-end-face flow distribution. The cooling oil suctioned by the plunger pump firstly cools the friction pair of the cylinder block and the plunger; then, one part of the cooling oil passes through a gap between the pump case and the cylinder block and enters the control chamber by passing by the friction pair of the oil distribution plate and the cylinder block to cool the friction pair of the oil distribution plate and the cylinder block; and the other part of the cooling oil passes through a gap between the pump case and the cylinder block and enters the control chamber by passing by the friction pair of the slipper and the swashplate to cool the friction pair of the slipper and the swashplate.
