A horizontal compressor includes a case; a high and low pressure separating plate dividing an inner space of the case into a high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure chamber; a compressor in the high-pressure chamber configured to be operated by a motor to compress refrigerant; a suction pipe in the case to communicate with the low-pressure chamber and through which the refrigerant is sucked; and an internal suction pipe to pass through the high and low pressure separating plate, one end of the internal suction pipe connected to the compressor and another end of the internal suction pipe to communicate with the low-pressure chamber so that the refrigerant in the low-pressure chamber flows into the compressor, wherein the internal suction pipe includes a connecting pipe adjacent to a lower surface of the case parallel to a central axis of the case.

A method for controlling the liquid injection of a compressor device, where the compressor device includes at least one compressor element, the compressor element includes a housing that includes a compression space in which at least one rotor is rotatably affixed by bearings, and liquid is injected into the compressor element. The method includes providing two independent separated liquid supplies to the compressor element, where one liquid supply is injected into the compression space and the other liquid supply is injected at the location of the bearings.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a compressor and an air conditioner with the compressor. The compressor includes: a first compression part, a second compression part, an intermediate cavity and an intermediate passage. Refrigerant discharged from the first compression part enters the intermediate cavity. The intermediate passage communicates with the intermediate cavity and an inner cavity of the second compression part. A bottom port of the intermediate passage is located at a bottom of the intermediate cavity, and air supplement refrigerant and/or the refrigerant discharged from the first compression part are used to convey accumulated oil in the intermediate cavity to the inner cavity of the second compression part. When only the refrigerant is used to convey the accumulated to the inner cavity of the second compression part, at least a part of the intermediate passage is located outside of a housing assembly of the compressor.
