Claim 0:
1. An oil separator comprising:
a cover attached to an opening portion on a discharge side of a compressor;
a discharge flow path formed in an inside of the cover, and
an oil separation portion having a cylindrical shape and configured to separate an oil from a fluid that has flowed out from the discharge flow path,
a dividing wall portion partitioning an internal space facing the opening portion into a plurality of spaces, the dividing wall portion being provided in the inside of the cover,
the internal space being a discharge space into which a high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows, the internal space having a shape extending in a first direction,
each of the plurality of spaces facing a high-pressure chamber in the opening portion so as to be in direct communication with the high-pressure chamber,
the dividing wall portion including a first wall that extends in the first direction from a bottom surface defining the internal space to a top surface defining the internal space and partitions the internal space in a second direction, the second direction being orthogonal to the first direction and substantially parallel to a horizontal direction,
the first direction being substantially parallel to a vertical direction and extending in a direction substantially parallel to an axial centerline of the cylindrical shape of the oil separation portion,
the cover having a height in the first direction larger than a width of the cover in the second direction, and
the internal space having a height in the first direction larger than a width of the internal space in the second direction.
