Claims3
A compressor assembly comprising:
- a pulley assembly;
- a compressor having a front head, a rear head, and a piston assembly operably mounted between the front head and the rear head;
- a planar mounting plate mounted between the pulley assembly and the compressor, so that the mounting plate abuts the front head;
- fasteners that mount the mounting plate onto the front head, but do not extend into the rear head;
- a plurality of case bolts that extend through the mounting plate, the front head, and into the rear head;
- wherein the front and rear heads are constructed of aluminum, and the mounting plate is constructed of steel;
- and
- wherein the mounting plate forms a mounting flange extending outwardly from the front head, the mounting flange having a plurality of apertures therethrough for mounting the compressor assembly.
