  • Patent number: 8678794
    Abstract: The invention concerns a refrigerant compressor arrangement (1) with a housing (2, 3) comprising a suction opening (5), a compressor (15), which is arranged in the housing (2, 3), and is connected to the suction opening (5), and a suction connection (20) that is fixed at the housing (2, 3), and comprises a housing section (21) and a tube section (22), the housing section (21) being connected to the suction opening (5) and the diameter of the tube section (22) being different from the diameter of the housing section (21). With such a refrigerant compressor arrangement, it is endeavoured to keep the dimensions small. For this purpose, in the longitudinal direction of the suction connection (20) the housing section (21) and the tube section (22) overlap each other and are connected to each other by a corrugated area (23) with at least one radial corrugation.

  • Patent number: 8356549
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of mounting a cylinder arrangement of a hermetically enclosed refrigerant compressor arrangement in a carrier arrangement (14, 15), in which the cylinder arrangement is inserted in the carrier arrangement (14, 15), aligned in relation to a crank shaft (5) and connected to the carrier arrangement (14, 15). It is endeavored to ensure a good efficiency of the refrigerant compressor arrangement. For this purpose the carrier arrangement is deformed, before inserting the cylinder arrangement, by means of a calibration cylinder (40), until the calibration cylinder (40) has a predetermined alignment, after which the calibration cylinder (40) is removed and replaced by the cylinder arrangement in the carrier arrangement (14, 15).

  • Patent number: 8062005
    Abstract: The invention concerns a linear compressor, particularly a refrigerant compressor, with a housing (2, 2?) and a compression unit, which comprises a compressor with a piston and a cylinder as well as a linear motor driving the piston in relation to the cylinder along a movement axis, the compression unit (30) being connected to the housing (2) via a spring arrangement (7). It is endeavoured to provide a space saving support of the compression unit (30) in the housing that enables good vibration suppression. For this purpose, the spring arrangement comprises a spring (6, 7), which is curved in the circumferential direction in relation to the movement axis (50), said spring surrounding the compression unit (3-5) on at least a share of its circumference.
