Abstract

A compressor and a refrigeration device are disclosed. The compressor has a sealing container, a motor portion and a compressing mechanism portion, and a bypass valve. The motor portion and the compressing mechanism portion are both provided in the sealing container. The compressor has an exhaust side and a suction side spaced apart from each other. The exhaust side is connected to the bypass valve. The exhaust side is suitable for exhausting air to external parts through the bypass valve, or suitable for communicating with the suction side through the bypass valve.
