Patent number: 11788522Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Mark W. Wood, Stephen J. Vos, Scott D. Craig, Gary D. White, Dalton E. McFarland
