Abstract:
1. A compressor comprising: a container; a compressor mechanism, provided in a lower portion of said container, for compressing working fluid; a motor, provided in an upper portion of said container, for driving said compressor mechanism to create a turning flow from the working fluid; an oil reservoir, provided at a bottom of said container, for storing refrigeration oil; and a wave-suppressing member, provided to be floated in an interface between the working fluid and the stored refrigeration oil, and extended toward said compressor mechanism and extended toward said container, said wave-suppressing member comprising a divided member consisting of a plurality of plates which are partly immersed in the stored refrigeration oil and extend astride the interface to form a lattice which covers a substantial part of the interface area such that the interface area is divided into a plurality of pieces thereby reducing the rippling of the interface caused by the turning flow directly contacted with the interface.
