Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide a horizontal closed type compressor for vehicle use which can suck a lubricating oil from an oil suction pipe without an oil surface of the lubricating oil becoming lower than the oil suction pipe, even in the case that a vehicle is inclined and the compressor is accordingly inclined. A horizontal closed type compressor for vehicle use is provided with a motor (6) housed within a closed container (4) to divide a shaft (7). A compression element (8) is driven by the motor (6), oil supplying means provided on the opposite side to the motor (6) feed lubricating oil to the compression element (8). The compression element (8) compresses refrigerant gas drawn from the exterior of the closed container (4) and discharge it into the motor side of the closed container, and thereafter out of the closed container from the side of the oil supplying means. Partition walls (72,73) divide the interior of the closed container (4) while allowing the refrigerant gas and the lubricating oil to move therethrough and are located respectively in the side of the motor (6) and the side of the oil supplying means in the compression element (8).
