Horizontal compressor

There is provided a horizontal rotary compressor capable of improving performance thereof while an oil supply means smoothly supplies oil. A part of a hermetic shell case (12) at the upper side is partitioned by a baffle plate (200) into an electric element (14) side and an oil pump (101) side, a refrigerant which is drawn from an outside of the hermetic shell case (12) is compressed by a first rotary compression element (32) and a second rotary compression element (34) and discharged toward the electric element (14) side of the baffle plate (200), then it is further discharged from oil pump (101) side toward the outside of the hermetic shell case (12). The baffle plate (200) closes a flow path area of the refrigerant over an oil level inside the hermetic shell case (12) at a ratio ranging from not less than 50% to not more than 80% during the stoppage of the horizontal rotary compressor.
