Abstract: An electric motor includes a stator, and a rotor having a plurality of magnetic poles. Each magnetic pole includes a rotor core having through holes arranged circumferentially side by side, and a permanent magnet inserted into each through hole. A length of a portion of the rotor core in a radial direction of the rotor is shorter than a length of the permanent magnet in the radial direction of the rotor.

The permanent magnets generate a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit showing a smaller magnetic resistance in a portion of the rotor radially outward of the permanent magnets than in a portion of the rotor radially inward of the permanent magnets.

Abstract: This invention provides a piston in which the moving piston unit can be prevented from rotating with respect the base piston unit, while suppressing the increase of the sliding resistance the piston has with respect to the cylinder. The circumferential wall of the moving piston unit has a pair of skirt parts opposing each other across a piston boss and a pair of side-wall parts coupling the skirt parts and each having an outer circumferential surface concaved toward the central axis X1 of the piston. The side-wall parts have a penetration part each, which penetrates the side-wall part and extends in the directions the moving piston unit reciprocates with respect to the base piston unit. The base piston unit has rotation preventing projections that project perpendicular to the central axis of the piston and are inserted into the penetration parts.

The compression mechanism has a discharge port and a discharge valve. The discharge valve is opened in a discharge process and is closed during a period from when the discharge process is finished to when a next compression process is started. The compressor is arranged such that high pressure gas discharged from the discharge port in the discharge process is discharged outside the casing through space in the casing. An oil feed path is arranged to feed lubricant oil contained in a bottom of the casing to an inside of the discharge port in a period from a point in time in the discharge process to when the compression process is started.

Abstract: At a time of a heating high-load operation, a harmonic current is flown in an armature winding to induction-heat rare-earth magnets, thus reducing a residual magnetic flux density. Thereby, the number of rotations of a radial gap type motor is improved. The rare-earth magnets are provided near a cooling medium passage extending substantially in parallel with a flow line of a cooling medium, so that the cooling medium recovers heat of the heated rare-earth magnets. At a time of a cooling high-load operation, a greater number of rotations are obtained with respect to the same torque command value, by a field weakening control by means of a current-phase advance.
