Abstract

A swash-plate type compressor is provided with an improved internal arrangement for lubricating internal moving elements, such as bearings, pistons and shoes wherein a passage is provided for introducing a foam of the lubrication oil, which was generated in the reservoir at the moment of starting the compressor, into the swash-plate chamber and the cylinder bores for lubricating the internal moving elements. The improved internal arrangement further contributes to effective employment of the blow-by refrigerant gas for the distribution of lubrication oil to the bearings and the cylinder bores.
