Abstract
A compressor and a heat exchange system are provided. The compressor has a sealed container and a liquid storage tank. An outlet end of the liquid storage tank is connected to an inlet end of the sealed container. An outlet end of the sealed container and an inlet end of the liquid storage tank are connected to an external heat exchange loop. A motor and a compression mechanism of the compressor are mounted in the sealed container. A first valve of the compressor is mounted at the outlet end of the sealed container and allows unidirectional communication from the sealed container to the external heat exchange loop. A second valve of the compressor is mounted at the inlet end of the liquid storage tank and allows unidirectional communication from the external heat exchange loop to the liquid storage tank.
