Patent ID: 8221096

Claim:
A compressor for compressing refrigerant in an air conditioner or a refrigerator, comprising: a closed container; a compression element disposed in the closed container; and a motor disposed in the closed container, the motor driving the compression element via a shaft, the motor having a stator that is in a clearance-fit state to the closed container and attached to the closed container on at least two planes normal to a center axis of the closed container, the stator being welded to the closed container at least three welding points on each of the planes, the stator having multilayered steel plates, and neighboring steel plates of the multilayered steel plates being bonded to each other with insulating adhesive so as to remove a peak around 400 Hz of a vibrational sound caused by the compressor due to pressure pulsations of the refrigerant within the closed container when the multilayered steel plates are not bonded to each other, the compressor having no peak of the vibrational sound at least in a range of 200 Hz to 600 Hz.
