A compressor includes a discharge chamber into which pressurized
refrigerant gas is intermittently discharged. The pressurized refrigerant
gas in the discharge chamber is sent to an external refrigerant circuit. A
chamber for accommodating a resonance suppressing adapter is located
between a discharge muffler and the external refrigerant circuit. The
adapter includes a float valve and a spring. The float valve can move
between a position connecting the accommodation chamber to the muffler and
a position disconnecting the accommodation chamber from the muffler. The
spring urges the float valve to its closed position. The force of the
spring is determined such that the discharge pulse frequency of the
refrigerant gas does not coincide with the natural resonance frequency of
the external refrigerant circuit or at least such that the amplitude of
pressure variations of the refrigerant gas is reduced.
