A horizontal type compressor-motor combination for compressing a gaseous refrigerant is hermetically sealed within a case which contains in its bottom accumulated lubricating oil and is internally divided into compressor and motor chambers respectively housing a compressor device and a motor for driving the compressor device through a common rotor shaft coupling the rotor of the motor and an eccentric rotor of the compressor device and being rotatably supported by inner and outer bearings, the compressor device having a cylinder block interposed between the inner and outer bearings. A compressor-motor of this basic organization is improved by a communication passage formed axial through the rotor shaft for conducting the refrigerant, one end of this passage being connected to the motor chamber, the other end being connected to a delivery chamber of the compressor chamber. By this structural organization, the gaseous refrigerant compressed to a high pressure in the compressor device is conducted through the passage formed through the rotor shaft or a passage through the outer bearing, cylinder block, and inner bearing into the rotor chamber thereby to raise the oil level in the compressor chamber, whereby lubricating oil is supplied positively and stably to the bearings and other moving parts.

In a hermetically-sealed compressor and motor, a lubricating system comprising: a sealed case containing in the bottom thereof accumulated lubricating oil, its interior divided into a motor chamber and a compressor chamber, an electric motor enclosed within the motor chamber and having a rotor, a compressor means enclosed within the compressor chamber and having an eccentric rotor, a common rotor shaft coupling the rotor of the electric motor and the eccentric rotor of the compressor means, and inner and outer bearings rotatably supporting the rotor shaft, the compressor means having a cylinder block interposed between the inner and outer bearings, and a delivery pipe connected to the compressor chamber; the improvement comprising a communication passage extending axially through the rotor shaft for conducting a gaseous refrigerant therethrough, one end of said communication passage being communicatively connected to the motor chamber, and a delivery cover secured to an outer surface of the outer bearing to define a delivery chamber between the delivery cover and the outer bearing, said delivery chamber being communicatively connected to the other end of said communication passage, whereby said gaseous refrigerant is supplied directly through the communication passage into the motor chamber, the surface level of lubricating oil in the compressor chamber being maintained at a higher level than that of the lubricating oil in the motor chamber as a result of this pressure.
