A compressor includes a cylinder comprising a cylinder body which has a cylindrical shape and defining a compression space for refrigerant gas, a piston configured to be reciprocated in an axial direction within the cylinder body and to compress the refrigerant gas in the compression space, and a frame in which the cylinder is received, the frame defining a gas hole, one side of the gas hole communicating with outside so that the refrigerant gas is introduced, the other side of the gas hole extending up to an inner circumferential surface so as to guide the refrigerant gas.

Provided is a linear compressor. The linear compressor includes a piston, a cylinder, and a bearing inflow passage. The bearing inflow passage includes a first bearing inflow passage extending inward from an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder in the radial direction and a second bearing inflow passage extending from the first bearing inflow passage to an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder. The second bearing inflow passage extends from the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder in a circumferential direction.

A compressor and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The compressor includes a piston having a cylindrical shape and having formed therein a suction space, in which refrigerant gas is sucked, and a cylinder having, as a space formed therein, formed therein a compression space, in which refrigerant gas is compressed, by reciprocation of the piston in an axial direction. A gas inflow passage having one side communicating with a gas pocket outside the cylinder and the other side communicating with a space formed in the cylinder is formed in the cylinder, and the piston includes a plurality of fine irregularities formed in an outer circumferential surface of a guide facing the cylinder and provided at a position corresponding to the gas inflow passage.

A compressor includes: a cylinder in which a piston is accommodated, the cylinder defining a compression space that is configured, based on the piston reciprocating in an axial direction, to compress a refrigerant gas therein, and a frame configured to accommodate the cylinder therein and defining a gas hole configured to pass the refrigerant gas therethrough. The gas hole is configured to communicate with an outside of the frame to receive the refrigerant gas and communicate with a gas pocket that is defined between an inner circumferential surface of the frame and an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder. The outer circumferential surface of the cylinder or the inner circumferential surface of the frame provides a plurality of restrictor regions partitioned by a gas supply passage, the gas supply passage defined to be recessed at the cylinder and configured to communicate with the gas hole.

A sealed system, as provided herein, may include a linear compressor, a shell, and a condenser. The linear compressor may include a casing and a piston. The casing may extend along an axial direction from a first end portion to a second end portion. The casing may include a cylinder assembly defining a chamber proximal to the second end portion. The piston may be slidably received within the chamber of the cylinder assembly. The shell may define an internal volume enclosing the linear compressor and lubrication oil therein. The condenser may be in downstream fluid communication with the linear compressor to receive a compressed refrigerant therefrom.

A compressor and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The compressor includes a piston having formed therein a suction space, in which refrigerant gas is sucked; and a cylinder in which a piston is accommodated, the cylinder defining a compression space that is configured, based on the piston reciprocating in an axial direction, to compress the refrigerant gas therein. A plurality of grooves having a partial spherical shape and having a diameter of 10 micrometers is formed in an outer circumferential surface of the piston or an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder.

A refrigerant compressor includes: an electric component; and a compression component driven by the electric component to compress a refrigerant. At least one sliding member constituting the compression component is made of a base material (185) that is an iron-based material. An abrasion resistance film (180) including a surface layer constituted by at least fine crystals is formed on a sliding surface of the sliding member. The surface layer (181) includes an A portion in which a component contained most is diiron trioxide (Fe.sub.2O.sub.3). The A portion exists within a range of at least 0.3 m or less from an outermost surface of the sliding surface. The abrasion resistance film (180) may include at least one intermediate layer (182 to 184) located between the surface layer (181) and the base material (185). With this, self-abrasion resistance of the sliding member can be improved, so that the refrigerant compressor having excellent reliability and efficiency can be obtained.

A movable core-type reciprocating motor and a reciprocating compressor having a movable core-type reciprocating motor are provided. The motor may include a stator including an inner stator and an outer stator; a magnet coil wound between the inner stator and the outer stator; a magnet fixed to at least one of the inner stator or the outer stator so as to be at least partially positioned within a range of the air gap; and a mover including a movable core disposed in the air gap and made of a magnetic material to perform a reciprocation movement with respect to the stator.

Refrigerant compressor includes electromotive element, and compression element that is driven by electromotive element, includes a slider, and compresses a refrigerant. Freezer oil that lubricates the slider is added with fullerene having a diameter that ranges from 100 pm to 10 nm.

A compressor comprises a first compressor piston assembly including a first compressor piston head having a bottom side and a longitudinal central axis. The compressor also comprises a first nozzle arranged to direct a first oil stream towards the bottom side of the first compressor piston head to cool the piston assembly. The compressor further comprises a second nozzle arranged to direct a second oil stream towards the bottom side of the first compressor piston head to cool the piston assembly. Each of the oil streams is substantially parallel to each other and to the longitudinal central axis to provide a flow of oil to cool the piston assembly and to reduce an oil carryover by the first compressor piston assembly by up to about fifty percent as compared to a compressor having no nozzles directing oil streams towards the bottom side of the first compressor piston head.
