A so-called internal intermediate pressure multistage compression type rotary compressor makes it possible to prevent the pressure inside a roller from inconveniently increasing and also to permit smooth and reliable supply of oil into a cylinder of a second rotary compressing element by a relatively simple construction. A lubrication groove for providing communication between an oil bore and a low-pressure chamber in the cylinder is formed in a surface of an intermediate partitioner that is adjacent to the cylinder of the second rotary compressing element. Furthermore, a through bore for providing communication between a hermetically sealed vessel and the inside of the roller is formed in the intermediate partitioner.

Rotary compressor

A refrigerant cycling device is provided. The refrigerant cycling device comprises a compressor, an intermediate cooling circuit and a three-way valve device. The compressor is connected to a heat exchanger and a depressurizing means, for performing a cooling operation and a heating operation. The compressor further comprises a first and a second rotary compression elements within a sealed container, and a refrigerant that is compressed and discharged by the first rotary compression element is introduced to the second rotary compression element. The intermediate cooling circuit is used for radiating heat of the refrigerant discharged from the first rotary compression element. The three-way valve device for opening a passage of the intermediate cooling circuit during the cooling operation. In this way, the coefficient of production (COP) during the cooling operation can be improved.

Refrigerant cycling device

A multi-stage compression type rotary compressor, having a driving element and a first and a second rotary compression element that are driven by the driving element in a sealed container, is provided. The refrigerant compressed by the first rotary compression element is discharged into the sealed container, and said discharged refrigerant with an intermediate pressure is then compressed by the second rotary compression element. By cooling the refrigerant absorbed into the second rotary compression element, the rise in the temperature of the refrigerant that is compressed and discharged by the second rotary compression element can be suppressed. And, the supercooling degree of the refrigerant is increases before reaching the expansion valve to improve the cooling ability of the evaporator.
