Abstract: A wire insulator apparatus includes an insulator/separator member, a cap portion, a tube and potting material. The insulator/separator member has apertures formed therein for receiving a plurality of wires. By threading the wires through the insulator/separator member, the wires are spaced apart so that a potting material can be molded to provide a complete seal from the environment, particularly conductive liquids such as ammonia, which may cause short-circuiting between the wires. Individual wires are terminated in the cap portion, and the cap portion, the insulator/separator member and the wire ends are positioned within a tube or a mold portion depending on the application, and a potting epoxy is fluidly inserted within the tube. The epoxy surrounds or encases the wire ends within the tube or mold to insulate the wire ends in an airtight seal.

Abstract: A discharge muffler (20) in an HVAC&R system (100) includes a plurality of tubes (34, 38, 42) of predetermined length that are disposed at a predetermined spacing in substantially mutual axial alignment by a plate (30). The tubes (34, 38, 42) are secured adjacent to a compressor discharge (24) to minimize pressure reduction, improve flow characteristics and improve efficiency of the HVAC&R system (100).
