Abstract
A heat dissipating system for a hermetic compressor includes a thermal energy transfer duct having a heat absorbing end mounted to the cylinder block of the compressor to absorb the heat generated by the compression of the refrigerant fluid in the cylinder block and a heat releasing end positioned away from the heat absorbing end and away from the cylinder block in order to release the heat conducted from the cylinder block by the transfer duct.
Claims14
A hermetic compressor with a heat dissipating system, said compressor comprising:
- a casing within which is defined an oil sump;
- a cylinder block mounted inside the casing and defining a cylinder for compression of a refrigerant fluid, having an end closed by a cylinder head, comprising at least one thermal energy transfer duct having:
- a heat absorbing end mounted to the cylinder block in order to absorb the heat generated by compression of the refrigerant fluid inside the cylinder, and
- a heat releasing end provided away from the cylinder block in order to conduct and liberate the heat absorbed,
- said thermal energy transfer duct having a respective evaporator portion, a transport portion, a condenser portion, and a heat dissipation portion, and
- said evaporator portion, said transport portion and said condenser portion of said duct being within said casing.
