Abstract

A closed reciprocating compressor for use in refrigeration cycle containing a refrigerant and a refrigerating machine oil, the refrigerant comprising a chlorine-free fluorocarbon and/or hydrofluorocarbon and having a critical temperature of 40.degree. C. or higher and said refrigerating machine oil being circulated in the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerating machine oil comprising as a base oil an ester oil of one or more fatty acids, containing at least two ester linkages in the molecule and having a viscosity at 40.degree. C. of 2 to 35 cSt and a viscosity at 100.degree. C. of 1 to 6 cSt, the motor having a winding wire and an insulating film comprising of a conductor, an insulating material and a winding oil, and the winding oil being an ester wax. The compressor is free from the problems associated with poor compatibility of winding oil with the refrigerant and/or refrigerating machine oil, and renders a good workability during the motor manufacturing process and can improve the reliability of the refrigerating apparatus using it.
