Abstract: A rotary compressor (100) includes a closed casing (1), a cylinder (15), a piston (28), a lower bearing member (7), a vane (33), a suction port (20), a discharge port (41), and a partition member (10). The partition member (10) is attached to the lower bearing member (7) so as to form a refrigerant discharge space (52) serving as a flow path of a refrigerant discharged from a discharge chamber (26b) through the discharge port (41). The lower bearing member (7) is provided with a first recess (7t) on the same side as the suction port (20) with respect to a reference plane, the reference plane being a plane including a central axis of the cylinder (15) and a center of the vane (33) when the vane (33) protrudes maximally toward the central axis of the cylinder (15). A portion of oil stored in an oil reservoir (22) flows into the first recess (7t), and thereby an oil retaining portion (53) is formed.

Abstract: In a rotary compressor of a vane rotary type, an outer peripheral surface of an eccentric portion of a shaft on a side adjacent to a center of the shaft is located radially inwardly of an outer peripheral surface of a main shaft inserted in a main bearing and that of an auxiliary shaft inserted in an auxiliary bearing. Also, a back clearance means used in mounting a piston on the shaft is provided in each of an inner peripheral surface of the piston and the eccentric portion of the shaft. Such configurations can reduce a diameter of the eccentric portion.

Abstract: A scroll compressor employs therein a refrigerant having a small global warming potential and a small ozone depletion potential and mainly comprising hydrofluoroolefin having a carbon-carbon double bond. A stationary scroll has and end plate and a discharge port defined in the end plate at a central portion thereof so as to open into a discharge chamber. The stationary scroll also has a bypass hole defined in the end plate to allow a plurality of compression chambers to communicate with the discharge chamber before the compression chambers communicate with the discharge port. A check valve is provided on the bypass hole to allow the refrigerant to flow from the compression chambers to the discharge chamber. This construction can restrain a baneful influence on the global environment, reduce a temperature increase caused by excessive compression, and restrain decomposition of the refrigerant even in long-term use.

Abstract: A compressor, characterized in that a steel is used as the base material for the other sliding material vane 10 and nitrided, a CrN or DLC film is formed on the surface by PVD treatment, and a Ni—Cr—Mo cast iron is used for the other corresponding sliding material piston 9. It is possible in such a configuration to suppress the temperature rise by sliding friction of the sliding materials, such as the vane tip region 10a and the peripheral region of piston 9 that are vigorously slid, relax decomposition of the refrigerant, and suppress corrosion by hydrogen fluoride generated in reaction with water and oxygen, and thus to provide a compressor higher in reliability.

Abstract: A refrigerant being low in both ODP and GWP and containing at least hydrofluoroolefin having a double bond of carbon is used. By providing a first compression-chamber oil feed path for feeding refrigerating machine oil to a compression chamber 15 after the refrigerant has been enclosed therein, effects on the global environment can be suppressed and moreover temperature increases of the refrigerant due to re-expansion heating and feeding of high-temperature refrigerating machine oil can be suppressed, i.e., decomposition of the refrigerant can be inhibited.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration cycle apparatus having a compressor that is not easily heated to high temperature by sliding heat and thus higher in reliability. Provided is a refrigeration cycle apparatus having a cost-effective compressor in the configuration in which a piston 9 eccentrically revolving, as driven by a shaft 4, is placed in a cylinder 6 and the circular terminal region 10a of a vane 10 partitioning the cylinder 6 into a suction chamber 12 and a compression chamber 13 is connected slidably to the external surface of the piston 9 in surface contact, which can reduce the sliding heat and is thus resistant to deterioration in reliability by reaction of the operating refrigerant.

Abstract: It was found that a refrigerant mainly containing a carbon-carbon double bond-containing hydrofluoroolefin has a function to suppress abrasive wear, compared to conventional HFC-based refrigerants, because the hydrofluoroolefin generates iron fluoride especially on the surface of the vane and piston, where sliding force is severe, from hydrogen fluoride, even if it is generated in reaction with water and oxygen. It is possible to reduce abrasive wear, by using a refrigerant containing as the base component a hydrofluoroolefin as operating refrigerant and a refrigeration oil 3 miscible with the refrigerant and a vane 10 made of a high-speed tool steel and sintered and quenched, because hydrogen fluoride generated by decomposition of the refrigerant in the region of a vane tip region 10a and a piston 9 peripheral surface, where sliding force is severe is converted to iron fluoride.
