Abstract
There is provided a compressor and an air conditioner capable of preventing a piston from being locked to a cylinder by iced matters. A compressor operation control section 18 of a control unit 20 stops the piston 2 in a high-temperature region HR of comparatively high temperatures where frost or ice of an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 1 is less easily generated. As a result, generation of iced matters between the high-temperature region HR of the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 1 and the piston 2 is prevented, so that a lock of the piston 2 due to iced matters can be prevented.
Claims26
A compressor comprising:
- a compressor body in which a cylinder chamber formed in a cylinder is divided into a compression chamber and a suction chamber by a piston and a blade, the compression chamber having a discharge port opened and the suction chamber having a suction port opened;
- a motor for driving the piston;
- and
- an icing-lock preventing section for preventing a lock of the piston due to iced matters generated and grown between an inner surface of the cylinder chamber and the piston.
