  • Patent number: 5672046
    Abstract: A side-channel compressor is disclosed with at least one side channel configured in the compressor housing and with a baffle, separating the intake and delivery sides. The boundary sides of the baffle extend in the radial direction with respect to the side channel and have a profile deviating from the axial direction of the compressor. Good noise damping without negative effects on the characteristic curve of the compressor can be achieved by the boundary sides of the baffle being equipped over their entire radial height with an at least approximately heart-shaped indentation, with the indentations provided on the intake and delivery sides having tips facing each other.
