Abstract: A hermetic compressor equipped with a valve assembly may include a valve plate having one suction port and a plurality of discharge ports; a suction valve provided at a first surface of the valve plate; a discharge valve provided at a second surface of the valve plate and having one fixing portion and a plurality of opening and closing portions that extends from the one fixing portion to respectively open and close the plurality of discharge ports; and a valve stopper that is fixed to the valve plate and limits a degree of opening of the opening and closing portions of the discharge valve. Accordingly, the opening and closing portions of the discharge valve may be reduced in size to thereby reduce inertia of the discharge valve. Thus, response of the discharge valve may be increased while simplifying a structure and assembly of the discharge valve.
