Abstract
A hermetic rotary compressor has a motor unit composed of a stator and a rotor which are arranged in an upper portion of a hermetic housing, an oil-lubricated compressor unit arranged in a lower portion of the hermetic housing, a crank shaft which interconnects said motor unit and said compressor unit, a discharging silencer which is formed by a lower bearing of the compressor unit positioned around the lower end of the crank shaft and a cover of the lower bearing. The hermetic rotary compressor further has a lower balancing weight mounted around a lower shaft end portion of the crank shaft which extends to a position below the discharging silencer and a weight cup surrounding the lower balancing weight. In this hermetic rotary compressor, the lower balancing weight is not disposed within the discharging silencer. Hence, even is the gas-liquid mixture of refrigerant is discharged from the discharging valve into the silencer chamber in the start-up or during liquid-back operation of the compressor, there is no risk that the lower balancing weight undesirably stirs such a fluid.
