A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigerant and a refrigeration cycle circuit. The refrigeration cycle circuit includes a heat exchanger and a compressor, and circulates the refrigerant. The refrigerant is a single hydrofluoroolefin (HFO)-based refrigerant or a mixed refrigerant. In the mixed refrigerant, an HFO-based refrigerant is mixed at a mixing ratio of 10% by weight or more. 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.

Refrigeration cycle apparatus

A compressor includes a casing, a housing inside the casing, and first and second welds. The casing includes a tubular barrel casing and an end casing. The first weld welds the barrel casing and the housing together. The second weld welds the barrel casing and the end casing together along a circumferential direction. The second weld includes a repeatedly welded portion formed by one end portion and an other end portion of the second weld overlapping each other, or the second weld includes a plurality of second welds each including a repeatedly welded portion formed by an end portion of the second weld and an end portion of an other one of the second welds overlapping each other. The repeatedly welded portion are formed to reduce deformation of the barrel casing. The repeatedly welded portion and the first weld are aligned along an axial direction of the barrel casing.

Compressor and method for manufacturing compressor

A scroll compressor includes fixed and movable scrolls including fixed and movable side end plates and fixed and movable side wraps. The fixed-side end plate includes a first fixed-side passage that communicates with a high-pressure space, and a second fixed-side passage to supply lubricating oil from the high-pressure space to a compression chamber formed between the scrolls. The movable-side end plate includes a movable-side groove that intermittently allows communication between the first fixed-side passage and the second fixed-side passage. The compression chamber includes a first compression chamber, and a second compression chamber located inside the first compression chamber. The second fixed-side passage includes a first fixed-side hole that intermittently communicates with the movable-side groove, and a second fixed-side hole that communicates with the first fixed-side hole and intermittently communicates with the second compression chamber.
