ABSTRACT:
A compressor comprises a compressing mechanism which compresses fluid including a lubricant, a separation chamber into which the fluid compressed by the compressing mechanism is introduced and in which at least a portion of the lubricant included in the fluid is separated from the fluid, and an oil-storage chamber in which the lubricant separated from the fluid in the separation chamber is stored. An oil-introducing passage is formed between the separation chamber and the oil-storage chamber to bring these chambers into communication with each other, the oil-introducing passage introduces the lubricant separated in the separation chamber into the oil-storage chamber, an opening of the oil-introducing passage on the side of the oil-storage chamber is lower than an oil level of the lubricant stored in the oil-storage chamber in the vertical direction.
