SCROLL TYPE COMPRESSOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To catch and remove foreign matter contained in intake gas during a process where the intake gas flows through a strainer by installing the strainer in the gas passage of a frame. SOLUTION: During the operation of a scroll type compressor, in a process where intake gas drawn from an intake port into a space 48 on the side of an electric motor M in a housing 4 flows through a strainer 60 installed in a gas passage 54 drilled and provided in a frame 5, the strainer 60 catches and removes foreign matter contained in the intake gas. Thus, since the intake gas having flowed through the strainer 60 is drawn and compressed by the compression chamber 24 of a scroll compressing mechanism C, the foreign matter is not bitten in an engaging face between a fixed scroll 1 and a revolving scroll 2.
