Abstract (en)

A compressor connected to an external refrigerant circuit is disclosed. The compressor is provided with a housing, a passage forming member coupled to an outer surface of the housing, and a differential pressure type flow rate detector provided in the passage forming member. The flow rate detector obtains the pressure in an upstream passage and the pressure in a downstream passage to detect a refrigerant flow rate within the refrigerant passage. The flow rate detector is provided with an accommodation chamber, a partition body, a compression spring, and a spring seat defining a maximum stroke amount of the partition body. The spring seat exists closer to the passage forming member side than a partition surface comparting the housing and the passage forming member, and is in contact with the partition surface.
