Abstract
The present invention provides a hermetic or open compressor for hydrocarbon refrigerant having high reliability. According to the present invention, in the compressor using hydrocarbon as refrigerant, synthetic oil such as polyalkylene glycol oil, ester oil or ether oil is used as freezer oil. Sliding member of the compressor includes both a portion made of aluminum material and a portion made of iron material. Therefore, it is possible to realize a compressor having excellent wear resistance and high reliability.
Claims3
A rotary hermetic compressor comprising a hermetic case in which a motor and a compression machine are accommodated, and hydrocarbon refrigerant being used as refrigerant to be compressed by said compression machine, said hermetic compressor including sliding portions and freezer oil for lubricating said sliding portions wherein said freezer oil is mineral oil or synthetic oil, and said sliding portions of said hermetic compressor include both a first sliding portion made of iron-based sintered material including chromium carbide, sintered SKH material or SUS material, and a second sliding portion made of sintered and tempered nickel-chromium-molybdenum cast iron material including 0.4 to 1.0 weight % of chromium and hardness of HRC45 or greater.
