To provide a hermetic compressor that suppresses supply of a refrigerant to the sliding part of a compression element and excessive oil rise in starting.
A scroll compressor 100 including the compression element 30 and an electric element 40 which are stored inside of a sealed vessel 11 is so configured that (a) the compression element 30 delivers a high-pressure refrigerant to the internal space of the sealed vessel 11, (b) a temperature sensor 8 is provided for detecting temperature in the vicinity of the bottom of the sealed vessel 11, and (c) R32 (difluoromethane) is used as the refrigerant. When starting the scroll compressor 100, the compression element 30 is driven in order not to exceed a predetermined rotational speed, and after the temperature sensor 8 detects temperature higher than a predetermined temperature, the compression element 30 is driven at a rotational speed higher than the predetermined rotational speed.
