Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a rocking piston compressor comprising a head plate having at least one inlet and silencer port, an exhaust and an exhaust port. The compressor may comprise valve plate coupled to the head plate and having a sound attenuation chamber and an exhaust chamber. The compressor may have at least one silencer selectably coupled to a head plate silencer port and disposed within the sound attenuation chamber. The compressor may also comprise an air tube having a first end selectably coupled to the head plate air tube port and a second end disposed within the valve plate exhaust chamber. The air tube may be configured to accelerate air flow from the second end toward the first end.
Claims15
A rocking piston compressor head assembly, comprising:
- a head plate having at least one inlet, at least one silencer port, an air tube port, and an external exhaust port;
- a valve plate configured to be operably coupled to the head plate and having a sound attenuation chamber and an exhaust chamber;
- at least one silencer, wherein the at least one silencer is operably and selectably coupled to the at least one silencer port and disposed within the sound attenuation chamber;
- and
- an air tube comprising a first end operably and selectably coupled to the air tube port and a second end opposite the first end, the air tube configured to accelerate air flow from the second end toward the first end.
A rocking piston compressor head assembly, comprising:
- a head plate having at least one inlet, at least one silencer port, an air tube port, and an external exhaust port;
- a valve plate configured to be operably coupled to the head plate and having a sound attenuation chamber, an exhaust chamber, a first end, and a second end, the first and second ends of the valve plate each having an intake port, an intake port leaf valve disposed over the intake port, a plurality of discharge ports, and a discharge port leaf valve disposed proximate the plurality of discharge ports;
- a plurality of silencers, wherein each silencer is operably and selectably coupled to a corresponding head plate silencer port and disposed within the sound attenuation chamber;
- an air tube comprising a first end operably and selectably coupled to the air tube port and a second end opposite the first end, the air tube configured to accelerate air flow from the second end of the air tube toward the first end of the air tube;
- and
- wherein the plurality of discharge ports of the first end of the valve plate have one-half of the area of the intake port of the first end of the valve plate and the plurality of discharge ports of the second end of the valve plate have one-half the area of the intake port of the second end of the valve plate.
