Abstract
A compressor for a reversible refrigeration cycle is connected to indoor and outdoor heat exchangers through first and second refrigerant pipes. The compressor includes a closed casing defining an accumulation chamber therein. A compression section having a compression chamber is disposed in the casing so that a refrigerant is compressed in the compression chamber and then discharged into the accumulation chamber. A valve mechanism is disposed in the compression section and has a slider. The slider is arranged to be movable between a first position where the first and second refrigerant pipes are connected to the compression chamber and the accumulation chamber, respectively, and a second position where the first and second refrigerant pipes are connected to the accumulation chamber and the compression chamber, respectively. The slider is shifted to the first or second position by the pressure of the refrigerant.
