Thermal and sound optimized lattice-cored additive manufactured compressor components

A light-weight, high-strength insulating scroll compressor component comprising:

• a body portion having at least one sealed interior region that comprises a metallic lattice structure comprising a plurality of cells formed via additive manufacturing and a surface disposed over the metallic lattice structure, wherein each cell of the plurality comprises a node and the at least one sealed interior region comprising the lattice structure minimizes transmission of at least one of sound or vibrational energy, wherein the plurality of cells comprises a plurality of first cells comprising a first node and a plurality of second cells comprising a second node, wherein the first node comprises a solid sphere and the second node comprises a hollow sphere, and the plurality of first cells defining a first row having a first major longitudinal axis and the plurality of second cells defining a second row having a second major longitudinal axis, the first major longitudinal axis and the second major longitudinal axis are parallel to one another and orthogonal to a primary direction of propagation of the sound or vibrational energy and the body portion thus defines at least one sound insulating region that reduces a transmission of sound or a vibrational energy by greater than or equal to about 30% as compared to transmission of the sound or the vibrational energy through a comparative solid body portion devoid of the at least one sealed interior region that comprises a lattice structure, wherein the light-weight, high-strength insulating scroll compressor component is selected from the group consisting of:
• a bearing housing, a main bearing housing, a lower bearing housing, an orbiting scroll component, a non-orbiting scroll component, a housing or a shell, a cap, a cover, a separator plate, a muffler plate, an Oldham coupling, a scroll compressor valve, a drive bushing, a bearing, a crankshaft, and combinations thereof.
