A variable capacity screw compressor comprises a suction port, at least two screw rotors and a discharge port being configured in relation to a selected rotational speed that operates at least one screw rotor at an optimum peripheral velocity that is independent of a peripheral velocity of the at least one screw rotor at a synchronous motor rotational speed for a rated screw compressor capacity. A motor is configured to drive the at least one screw rotor at a rotational speed at a full-load capacity that is substantially greater than the synchronous motor rotational speed at the rated screw compressor capacity.

An outer radius of the teeth centered on a position of the rotation axis of the rotor is D1. An inner radius of the teeth is D2. An average distance from the position of the rotation axis of the rotor to the at least one of the outgoing line and the film wound around the outgoing line is da.

A rotary compressor is provided that may include a rotational shaft, first and second bearings configured to support the rotational shaft in a radial direction, a cylinder disposed between the first and second bearings to form a compression space, a rotor disposed in the compression space and coupled to the rotational shaft to compress a refrigerant as the rotor rotates, and at least one vane slidably inserted into the rotor, the at least one vane coming into contact with an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder to separate the compression space into a plurality of regions. At least one of the first bearing and the second bearing may include first and second pockets formed on a surface facing the rotor, and at least one of the first pocket and the second pocket may be formed in an asymmetrical shape.

In a compressor compressing a refrigerant including hydrocarbon fluoride prone to disproportionate, provided, on a contact portion of the drive shaft and the bearing portion, is an elastic bearing portion as a heat generation suppression portion suppressing excessive heat generation due to line contact of an end edge portion of the bearing portion with the drive shaft during rotation of the drive shaft.

A scroll compressor including a housing, a motor provided in the housing, a rotary shaft configured to be rotated by the motor, an orbiting scroll configured to orbit in conjunction with the rotary shaft, a fixed scroll configured to define a compression chamber together with the orbiting scroll, and a discharge valve disposed on one surface of the fixed scroll and configured to open or close one or more discharge openings of the fixed scroll through which a refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber is discharged, in which the discharge valve includes: a discharge reed plate disposed on one surface of the fixed scroll, and a gasket retainer disposed between one surface of the fixed scroll and the housing and configured to surround the discharge reed plate.

According to one embodiment, a compressor includes cylinders, a rotating shaft, bearings, and discharge valve mechanisms. Each of the discharge valve mechanisms includes a discharge valve and a valve presser. Regarding the valve pressers, each of the valve pressers includes a main body part lengthwise along the longitudinal direction of the discharge valve, and at least one of the valve pressers includes a fixed part extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the discharge valve relatively to the main body part and fixed to the bearing.

The distance between openings of two supply passages that are closest to an accommodating recess is less than the distance between openings of two injection ports that are closest to compression chambers. This configuration minimizes the volume of the space in the accommodating recess between a check valve and the two supply passages, unlike a case in which the distance between the openings of the supply passages that are closest to the accommodating recess is greater than or equal to the distance between the openings of the two injection ports that are closest to the compression chambers. This reduces the flow rate of refrigerant that flows into the accommodating recess from the compression chambers in a compression process through the injection ports and the supply passages.
