Abstract:
An oil detection device for a compressor to detect at least two levels of oil in the compressor includes a first detection unit including a first reference electrode and a first detection electrode disposed at both sides of the first reference electrode, and a second detection unit including a second reference electrode spaced from the first reference electrode and a second detection electrode disposed at both sides of the second reference electrode.
Abstract:
A compressor provided with an oil stabilizing member capable of preventing oil stored in an oil storage space from being scattered is provided. A compressor may include a closed container provided with an inlet port and an outlet port, a compression unit configured to compress refrigerant introduced into an inside the closed container through the inlet port, a driving unit configured to provide a driving force to drive the compression unit, a rotating shaft configured to deliver the driving force to the compression unit, an oil storage space formed at a lower portion of an inside the closed container and configured to store a predetermined oil to come into contact with one end portion of the rotating shaft, and an oil stabilizing member installed so as to move along a surface of oil formed at the oil storage space, thereby preventing the oil from being scattered and thus released through the outlet port, wherein the oil stabilizing member floating on the surface of the oil prevents oil from being scattered upward according to operation of the compressor.
