Abstract

The present disclosure relates to reciprocating compressor. The present invention can prevent friction loss or abrasion between a cylinder and a piston, which is caused when a hydraulic bearing is blocked with a foreign substance, by preventing the foreign substance mixed in refrigerant gas from flowing into the hydraulic bearing, and can improve compressor performance by preventing a specific volume in a compression space from increasing when high-temperature refrigerant gas discharged in the compression space is cooled, such that vibration noise of the compressor can be reduced since a gas guiding part offsets vibration and the noise generated when a refrigerant is discharged in the compression space. Furthermore, the number of vibrations of a mover is increased and a driving operation for removing foreign substances is carried out to increase the number of vibrations of a cylinder such that any foreign substance stuck in a gas hole can be cleaned, thereby increasing performance and reliability of the compressor.
