Abstract

A discharge valve mechanism has a plurality of discharge openings. The discharge openings are placed in an open or closed state by a plate-like valve element. Each of the discharge openings is formed at a respective location between a base end side and a leading end side of the valve element. The number of discharge openings to be placed in the open state is varied depending on the pressure and the flow rate of gas refrigerant discharged from a compression chamber.
