Abstract
A compressor assembly having a high velocity muffler system which produces a particle-free compressor pump feed while reducing noise output from the compressor assembly during compressing operations. The high velocity muffler system is maintenance-free and comprises an inertia filter. The compressor assembly uses a method for producing a compressor pump feed and reducing noise during compressing operations by processing a gas through the high velocity muffler system which has an inertia filter and a muffler chamber to produce a compressor pump feed which can be compressed by a pump assembly.
Claims20
A compressor assembly, comprising:
- a pump assembly which receives a gas from a gas feed system;
- wherein the gas feed system has an inertia filter which filters the gas before the gas is fed to a muffler, the muffler having a muffler chamber which is the product of a blow molding process.
A compressor assembly, comprising:
- an inertia filter which filters a gas that is fed to a muffler chamber;
- wherein the muffler chamber feeds the gas to a pump assembly;
- and
- wherein the compressor has a produced noise which is in a range of 60 dBA to 75 dBA when compressing the gas.
A compressor assembly, comprising:
- an air feed system having an inertia filter which is maintenance-free and by which a gas is filtered;
- and
- a muffler though which the gas flows prior to being fed to a pump assembly.
