The compressor includes a motor. The motor includes a resin component. The resin component includes a polyimide having a terminal blocked with a terminal group.

A scroll compressor includes: a compression mechanism unit 3 that includes a fixed scroll 31 and an orbiting scroll 32; a crank shaft 6 that causes the orbiting scroll 32 to orbit about the fixed scroll 31; a slider 71 that is provided between the orbiting scroll 32 and the crank shaft 6 and that includes tubular portions 711 and 712 and a flange portion 713 projecting from the outer circumferential surface between one end and the other end of the tubular portions 711 and 712; and a balance weight 72 that is fitted to the slider 71 and that includes a ring-like portion 721 having a portion of the inner surface facing the flange portion 713, a weight portion 722 having an inner surface facing the tubular portion 711 or 712 closer to the one end side U than the flange portion 713, and a projection 723 projecting from the inner circumferential surface of the ring-like portion 721 and having an inner surface facing the tubular portion 711 or 712 closer to the other end side L than the flange portion 713.

Damages to a refrigerant circuit of a refrigeration cycle apparatus due to a disproportionation reaction are suppressed. The use of a composition as a refrigerant in a compressor is use of, as a refrigerant, a composition containing one or two or more compounds selected from a group consisting of ethylene-based fluoroolefin, 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), and 1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze) in a compressor that includes a terminal (200) including a terminal pin (220) and a body (210) to which the terminal pin (220) is fixed, and the terminal pin (220) is fixed to the body (210) with a fixing adhesive (240) having a melting point or a softening point of 1000 C. or less.

High power of a compressor that compresses a mixed refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroethylene is achieved. A compressor (100) employs an induction motor (70) as a motor that drives a compression unit (60) that compresses a mixed refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroethylene, and thus, high power is enabled at comparatively low costs.

High efficiency of a compressor that compresses a mixed refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroethylene is achieved. A compressor (100) includes a motor (70) that has a rotor (71) including permanent magnets (712) and thus is suitable for a variable capacity compressor in which the number of rotations of the motor can be changed. In this case, it is possible to change the number of rotations of the motor in accordance with an air conditioning load in an air conditioner (1) that uses a mixed refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroechylene. It is thus possible to enable high efficiency of the compressor (100).
