Abstract (en)

There is provided a highly efficient multiple-stage compressor provided with a bypass pipe. A multiple-stage compressor 11 comprises a sealed housing 12; a low-stage side compression mechanism 13 and a high-stage side compression mechanism 15, both being provided in the sealed housing 12; an electric motor 14 for driving the low-stage side compression mechanism 13 and the high-stage side compression mechanism 15; a suction pipe 21 for supplying a refrigerant to the low-stage side compression mechanism 13; a discharge pipe 19 connected to the sealed housing 12 to discharge the refrigerant compressed by the high-stage side compression mechanism 15; a bypass pipe 22 branched from the suction pipe 21 to allow a cavity 12a on the refrigerant passage downstream side of the electric motor 14 and the suction pipe 21 to communicate with each other; and a valve 23 provided in the bypass pipe 22 to selectively permit or inhibit the supply of refrigerant to an intermediate-pressure chamber.
