ABSTRACT:
In a refrigerant compressor for use in an air conditioning system, a lubricating oil-separating device is mounted in the discharge pressure chamber communicating with pump outlets of the pump assembly and also with the discharge port. The lubricating oil-separating device comprises a plurality of tubes vertically disposed in a direction traversing flows of compressed refrigerant. The tubes each have at least one recess formed in a portion of its peripheral surface facing downstream of the compressed refrigerant flow, and an opening formed in the recess and communicating with the interior of the tube, whereby compressed refrigerant in the form of von Karman's vortices formed immediately downstream of the tube is introduced into the interior of the tube to thereby effectively separate the lubricating oil from the refrigerant.
