Thecompression apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is, for instance, applied in refrigeration and air conditioning systems or other fields, and the invention is not limited thereto. - The
first compression unit 110 is adapted to compress a fluid (such as refrigerant) such that the fluid has a first pressure. After the fluid is compressed by thefirst compression unit 110, the fluid flows from thefirst compression unit 110 to thesecond compression unit 120, and thesecond compression unit 120 is adapted to further compress the fluid such that the fluid has a second pressure greater than the first pressure.

first compression unit 110 is adapted to operate along a first rotation axis A1 via the driving of thedrive unit 130, and thesecond compression unit 120 is adapted to operate along a second rotation axis A2 via the driving of thedrive unit 130.
