Abstract

A hermetic compressor according to the present invention has an improved operating efficiency for use in a cold storage chamber, freezing chamber or the like . The compression includes a suction pipe which is formed by a material having heat conductivity lower than that of a casing of the hermetic compressor so that heat of the closed casing is not easily transmitted to the suction pipe. In this manner heating of the drawn in cooling medium gas is inhibited, and thus, cooling efficiency can be improved by preventing discharge of a low density cooling medium into the cooling system through compression of the expanded cooling medium gas.
