Abstract

A compressor construction is provided which includes a sealed housing having a motor and a compressor unit connected in driving relationship with the motor. The compressor unit is provided with an inlet port which is adapted to receive low pressure fluid therethrough and an outlet port through which the fluid passes under high pressure. The housing includes a housing inlet port that is connected to the compressor unit inlet port through an appropriate conduit. Additionally, a housing outlet port is provided that is aligned with the compressor unit outlet port. However, no direct connection is provided between the compressor unit outlet port and the housing outlet port, thereby providing a compressor construction which substantially eliminates the hydraulic hammer effect and noisy operation of prior compressor constructions.

Claims2

Dependent claims

A compressor construction comprising a sealed housing having a motor compartment and a compressor compartment;

a motor in said motor compartment;
a rotary compressor in said compressor compartment connected in driving relationship with said motor for compressing refrigerant fluid, said compressor unit having an inlet port adapted to receive low pressure fluid therethrough and an outlet port for the passage of high pressure fluid therethrough;
said housing having a housing inlet port;
a conduit extending between said housing inlet port and said compressor inlet port to provide a passage for the low pressure fluid;
a housing outlet port in said compressor compartment aligned with said compressor outlet and in spaced relationship thereto whereby said compressor refrigerant fluid is discharged from said compressor unit outlet port into said compressor compartment;
and a desuperheater coil connected between said housing outlet port in said compressor compartment and said motor compartment, said desuperheater coil comprising a conduit connected to said housing outlet port and terminating short of said compressor unit to eliminate any direct connection therebetween.
