Abstract
A compressor includes a casing with an oil retention space, an electric motor, a driveshaft, a compression mechanism, an oil supply passage, an oil discharge passage, an oil supply pump, and an oil discharge pump. The compression mechanism has a movable part, and an upper housing forming a crank chamber. The upper housing has an upper bearing that pivotally supports the driveshaft below the crank chamber. The oil supply passage leads oil in the oil retention space to the crank chamber. The oil discharge passage includes a main oil discharge passage, and a first inflow passage communicating between the main oil discharge passage and the crank chamber. An oil-recovery space is formed in a lower part of the upper housing below the crank chamber. The oil discharge passage includes a second inflow passage communicating between the main oil discharge passage and the oil-recovery space.
