A highly reliable horizontal rotary compressor is provided with a sealed housing, an electric motor, a compression mechanism, a frame which divides the inside of the sealed housing into an electric-motor chamber and a compression-mechanism chamber, and a plurality of bolts that fasten the compression mechanism to the frame. The compression mechanism includes a main bearing fasten to the end surface of a cylinder. A bearing contact-surface of the end surface of the cylinder is in contact with the main bearing, is located closer to the electric motor than a frame contact-surface which is in contact with the frame. The surface roughness of the frame contact-surface is greater than the surface roughness of the bearing contact-surface. The contact-surface of the frame is a single continuous flat surface located above the bolt located at the lowest position among the plurality of bolts.

A scroll compressor may include a compressor chamber, a back pressure chamber, a first intermediate pressure hole, a second intermediate pressure hole, a third intermediate pressure hole, a back pressure switching unit configured to selectively connect the first intermediate pressure hole and the back pressure chamber or the second intermediate pressure hole and the back pressure chamber, a capacity variable unit configured to selectively open and close a capacity variable passage, and a mode switching unit provided outside of the casing and configured to control opening and closing operations of the back pressure switching unit and the capacity variable unit. This may simplify the structure of the back pressure switching unit and the mode switching unit, thereby maintaining compactness of the compressor while installing the back pressure switching unit inside of the casing, and thus, operation reliability of the mode switching unit may be secured and maintenance facilitated.

A compressor may include a casing having a refrigerant inlet space therein that communicates with a suction pipe through which a refrigerant is suctioned into the casing; a high/low pressure separation plate that crosses an upper portion of a compression unit to partition the refrigerant inlet space positioned at a lower portion of the high/low pressure separation plate and a refrigerant discharge space positioned at an upper portion thereof; and a discharge guide. The discharge guide may be provided in the refrigerant discharge space and may be coupled with an upper surface of the high/low pressure separation plate to cover a communication hole of the high/low pressure separation plate that provides communication between the refrigerant inlet space and the refrigerant discharge space and at least a portion thereof may extend to a discharge pipe.

[Problem] A scroll compressor is provided which is capable of effectively reducing a pressure loss in a pathway extending from a discharge space to a discharge port.

[Solution] The scroll compressor includes a discharge space 27 formed in a compressing mechanism cover 9 of a housing 11, a discharge hole 26 which is formed in a fixed scroll 21 and discharges a compressed refrigerant to the discharge space, a discharge port 51 which discharges the refrigerant to the outside of the housing, a relief passage 71 which communicates the discharge space and the discharge port with each other, and a differential pressure valve 74 which is provided in the relief passage and opens in accordance with a pressure difference between the discharge space and the discharge port. The relief passage opens in the discharge space above the discharge hole.

A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing, a drive motor, an orbiting scroll, a non-orbiting scroll, and a floating plate provided with a cover portion to cover an area between an outer wall portion and an inner wall portion of the non-orbiting scroll so as to form a back pressure chamber with the non-orbiting scroll, and a valve accommodating portion that extends from the cover portion so as to accommodate a discharge valve configured to open and close a discharge port. Accordingly, structure for forming a back pressure chamber is simplified to thereby reduce the number of components and man-hours required for assembly.

A compressor may include a shell assembly, orbiting and non-orbiting scrolls, a bearing housing, a bushing, a damper, and a fastener. The bearing housing includes a first aperture. The bushing may include an axial end abutting the bearing housing. The bushing may extend through a second aperture of the non-orbiting scroll. The bushing may include a third aperture. The damper may be received in a pocket that may be defined by and disposed radially between an outer diametrical surface of the bushing and an inner diametrical surface of the non-orbiting scroll. The damper may be at least partially disposed within the second aperture and may encircle the second portion of the bushing. The fastener may include a shaft portion and a flange portion. The shaft portion may extend through the third aperture and into the first aperture. The flange portion may contact a first axial end of the damper.

A vacuum pump is provided that includes rotor elements arranged in a suction chamber. An outlet duct is connected to an exhaust pipe. For the purpose of silencing, sound expansion spaces are provided in the outlet duct, which are integrated into the pump housing. Alternatively or in addition to these sound expansion spaces, sound expansion spaces may be provided in an inlet duct which is used for the inlet of gas ballast, said sound expansion spaces being preferably likewise integrated into the pump housing.

A compressor includes a shell, a muffler plate, first and second scroll members, and first and second sealing members. The shell defines first and second pressure regions separated by the muffler plate. The first scroll member includes a first end plate and a first scroll wrap. The first end plate defines an annular recess and a discharge recess. The discharge recess is in communication with the first pressure region. The second scroll member includes a second end plate and a second scroll wrap. The second scroll wrap meshingly engages the first scroll wrap to define a compression chamber therebetween. The first sealing member is at least partially disposed in the discharge passage and fluidly separates the first and second pressure regions from each other. The second sealing member is at least partially disposed in the annular recess.

A scroll compressor includes a casing; an orbiting scroll; a fixed scroll; and a main frame which supports the orbiting scroll. The fixed scroll may include a fixed scroll end plate and a fixed scroll wrap which protrudes from the fixed scroll end plate. The main frame may include a main frame end plate which is provided on the opposite side of the fixed scroll end plate on the basis of the orbiting scroll, and a main frame side plate which protrudes from an outer circumferential portion of the main frame end plate toward the fixed scroll. The fixed scroll end plate, the main frame end plate, and the main frame side plate may form an orbiting space of the orbiting scroll.

The disclosure relates to a compressor having a noise reduction resonator. The compressor includes: a compression part having compression space in which introduced gas is accommodated, and configured to compress and discharge the gas in the compression space; and a gas moving part having an inner wall forming a gas flow path through which the gas discharged from the compression space moves, wherein the gas moving part is provided with a first resonator configured to communicate with the gas flow path on the inner wall forming the gas flow path and having a resonance space depressed upward in a moving direction of the gas. The compressor according to the disclosure may prevent compression efficiency from decreasing and maintain a noise reduction effect for a long period of time by preventing foreign objects or liquids from being accumulated in the resonance space.
