Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a crankshaft, a bearing rotatably supporting the crankshaft, a casing accommodating the crankshaft and the bearing, an arm supporting the bearing, a fixing portion connected to an end of the arm and fixed to the casing, and first and second pins. The first and second pins are press fitted into first and second holes and fixed to the casing by welding. The first hole is formed in the fixing portion and has a first center disposed at a position overlapping a minimum sectional area portion of the arm. The second hole is formed in the fixing portion and has a second center disposed at a position outside the minimum sectional area portion of the arm. A first force with which the first pin is held by the fixing portion is larger than a second force with which the second pin is held by the fixing portion.

Abstract: In a hollow fiber element constituting a separation membrane module for separating an organic vapor, at least one end part of a fiber bundle consisting of multiple hollow fiber membranes having a selective permeability is fixed and bound with a tube sheet formed by a cured material, in which an epoxy composition (A) has been cured by using a hardener (B). A glass transition temperature of said cured material is not less than 160° C., a minimum elongation at break thereof is not less than 7.0%, and an elution ratio thereof is less than 5%. For this reason, the hollow fiber element has enough endurance to retain a gas-tightness of an internal space of the hollow fiber membrane and an external space of the hollow fiber membrane even in use under organic vapor with an elevated temperature and high pressure.
