Provided is a motor-integrated fluid machine that has improved performance and reliability by efficiently cooling a fluid machine body and a motor without increasing an installation space. The present invention is characterized by being provided with: a fluid machine unit that compresses or expands a fluid; a motor unit that has a drive shaft connected to the fluid machine unit; and a cooling fan that cools the motor unit and the fluid machine unit by sucking cooling air from the motor unit side and that is connected to the drive shaft at the side opposed to that connected to the fluid machine unit, wherein between the motor unit and the cooling fan, the minimum sectional area of a cooling air passage from the outside in the radial direction toward the drive shaft is larger than that of a cooling air passage from the motor unit side toward the cooling fan.

A scroll compressor includes a discharge guide disposed in a high-pressure part to guide refrigerant discharged from a compression part to a refrigerant discharge pipe, and the discharge guide may extend by a preset height from an inner circumferential surface of a casing constituting the high-pressure part toward one side surface of a high and low pressure separation plate. This can guide discharge refrigerant discharged to the high-pressure part to quickly flow to the refrigerant discharge pipe before being spread in an entire space of the high-pressure part, thereby preventing the high and low pressure separation plate from being overheated by discharge refrigerant of high temperature. This can result in preventing suction refrigerant of a low-pressure part from being heated by heat of discharge refrigerant transferred through the high and low pressure separation plate, thereby reducing a specific volume of the suction refrigerant and improving compressor efficiency.
