Abstract
A muffler for motor compressors for refrigeration appliances consisting of at least three expansion chambers interconnected by passages which are narrower than the chambers; a tube is located in one of said chambers and fastened to the outlet and inlet ports of said chamber. This tube is provided with openings to let the refrigerant gas flow through and for attenuating the resonance frequency of that gas. The diameter of the openings is inversely proportional to the number of openings.
Claims3
A muffler for attenuating resonance frequencies of motor compressors for refrigerating appliances comprising
- at least three expansion chambers, each said chamber having an inlet and an outlet, each said inlet and outlet being a conduit which is narrower than the chamber to which said conduit is connected;
- a central expansion chamber of said at least three expansion chambers having a tube extending through said central expansion chamber and connected to the inlet and outlet thereof;
- said tube having a plurality of openings therein for flow of refrigerant gas from said tube for expansion into said central expansion chamber;
- said opening being of a size selected for each resonance frequency to be attenuated.
