Abstract
The compressor has a cooling structure to effectively cool a shaft seal device interposed between a housing of the compressor and a rotary shaft. The front housing has a through-hole through which the rotary shaft extends, and the shaft seal device is arranged in the through-hole. A passage (suction passage portion) is connected to the thorough-hole. An inlet from a portion of the passage to the through-hole is arranged right above the rotary shaft, and an outlet from the through-hole to a portion of the passage is arranged right below the rotary shaft. The passage is connected to a suction pressure region outside the compressor and to the suction chamber via the through-hole.
