Abstract
A hybrid compressor that is selectively driven by an engine and a motor. A compression mechanism includes a drive shaft. A clutch is attached to the front of the compression mechanism, and the motor is attached to the rear of the compression mechanism. The motor has an output shaft connected to the drive shaft. The clutch selectively transmits power from the engine to the drive shaft. This structure makes the hybrid compressor compact and reduces the imbalance of the load applied to its drive shaft.
