Electric compressor

An electric compressor comprising:

• a motor configured to drive a compression mechanism adapted to compress a refrigerant;
• an inverter configured to drive the motor;
• a motor housing part filled with the refrigerant and accommodating the motor;
• and
• an inverter housing part connected to the motor housing part and having an inverter housing space accommodating the inverter, the motor housing part being aligned with the inverter housing part in a predetermined direction,
• wherein a motor housing space accommodating the motor is formed by the motor housing part and the inverter housing part,
• wherein the motor housing part includes a cylindrical first connection part centered on a first center axis extending in the predetermined direction,
• wherein the inverter housing part includes a cylindrical second connection part centered on a second center axis extending in the predetermined direction and an installation part defining one end side in the predetermined direction of the inverter housing space,
• wherein an outer circumferential surface of the first connection part and an inner circumferential surface of the second connection part are in contact with each other,
• wherein a surface on one side of the installation part faces the motor housing space and a surface on the other side of the installation part faces the inverter housing space, and
• wherein a suction part configured to guide the refrigerant into the motor housing space is provided in an outer circumferential surface of the inverter housing part.
