Abstract:
Disclosed are an oil separation apparatus (70) and a horizontal vortex compressor (1) comprising the oil separation apparatus (70). The oil separation apparatus (1) comprises a support (71) and a filter member (72), wherein the support (71) is generally cylindrical and comprises a cylindrical wall (712), the filter member (72) is arranged on the cylindrical wall (712), and the cylindrical wall (712) is provided with an opening (711, 713) used for working fluid to pass through; and the filter member (72) is generally cylindrical, and comprises an inner and an outer holding member (74, 76) holding inner and outer contours of the filter member (72) and end holding members (75a, 75b) provided on axial ends of the filter member (72). The oil separation apparatus (70) can increase the oil level of lubricating oil in the compressor (1), reducing disturbance in an oil tank and reducing oil circulation efficiency.
