Abstract
A compressor is provided with a substantially cylindrical housing. Inside the housing is a motor housing having a substantially cylindrical shape and a compressor housing having a substantially cylindrical shape. The motor housing and the compressor housing are connected or fit into the housing with a frictional connection to prevent axial movement of the motor housing and the compressor housing.
Claims20
A compressor comprising:
- a first housing;
- a second housing positioned in the first housing;
- a motor positioned in the second housing;
- a third housing positioned in the first housing;
- a compression mechanism positioned in the third housing;
- and
- the second housing being connected to the third housing to prevent relative rotational movement between the second housing and the third housing.
