• an electric component;
• a compression component actuated by the electric component;
• a sealed container which accommodates the electric component and the compression component and stores lubricating oil therein;
• and
• a suction pipe which is provided to penetrate a wall portion of the sealed container, and through which a refrigerant gas suctioned into the sealed container flows;
• wherein the compression component includes a compression chamber formed within a cylinder and a suction muffler through which the refrigerant gas from an interior of the sealed container toward an interior of the compression chamber flows;
• wherein the suction muffler includes a muffling space, an exit pipe, one end of which opens in the muffling space and the other end of which opens in the compression chamber, an inlet pipe, one end of which opens in the muffling space, and the other end of which opens in a substantially horizontal direction in the interior of the sealed container, the other end being a suction port of the inlet pipe, and a funnel-shaped refrigerant receiver section provided to surround the suction port;
