The present invention discloses a rotary compressor and refrigeration equipment containing the rotary compressor. According to the rotary compressor, a lubricating oil and a refrigerant are packaged in the housing of the rotary compressor, the rotary compressor comprises a motor and a compression assembly, the compression assembly comprises a gas cylinder, an upper bearing, a lower bearing, a piston, a sliding sheet, and a crankshaft, at least one selected from the gas cylinder, the upper bearing, the lower bearing, the piston, the sliding sheet and the crankshaft is made from a damping alloy, and the specific damping value of the damping alloy is not less than 10. According to the present invention, the compression assembly of the rotary compressor has a high damping performance so as to minimize the noise vibration of the compressor body, such that the noise quality of the refrigeration equipment can be improved.
