Abstract: In order to improve a refrigerant compressor of the type mentioned in the introduction such that it is ensured that, even in the event of a tilt along a longitudinal direction of the refrigerant compressor unit relative to a horizontal course of the longitudinal direction, lubricant can reliably be drawn off by suction out of the lubricant sump, in order to prevent excessive accumulation of lubricant in the lubricant sump, it is proposed that there should be provided on the bottom side of the motor compartment a receiving point that takes a form such that the receiving point supplies lubricant from the lubricant sump to the suction-removal unit.
