Abstract: A compressor includes a front housing having a crank chamber therein, a cylinder block having a cylinder bore therein, a rear housing including a low-pressure chamber and a high-pressure chamber therein, a valve plate on which a suction hole for communicating the cylinder bore and the low-pressure chamber is formed, and a suction valve disk for opening and closing the suction hole. A predetermined gap width is provided between the suction valve disk and an opening edge of the suction hole, and the gap width is set to 13-15% of a thickness of the suction valve disk. By the compressor, fixation of the suction valve on the valve plate is prevented. Therefore, noise-and-vibration performance improves and thereby generation of undesired noises is prevented. Further, since the fixation of the suction valve on the valve plate is prevented, a desired volume of refrigerant is surely supplied into the cylinder bore.
