Publication number: 20140147300Abstract: Dual cylinder and single cylinder rocking piston compressors with sound attenuation are disclosed. Due to the tapered shape intake and exhaust chamber sides and tops, the gas flow is accelerated and decelerated through the compressors thereby allowing sound energy to be dissipated. Sound attenuation is further enhanced by the addition of baffles, which divide each chamber into a series of smaller attenuation chambers. The baffles also cause the gas flow to accelerate and decelerate as the gas flow passes the baffles. In the case of a dual cylinder rocking piston compressor, enlarging the crossover passageway diameters also creates additional sound attenuation chambers, which contribute to the overall reduction in sound. Further, by using dedicated seals for each intake in exhaust chamber, flow leakage at higher pressures is decreased, thereby improving compressor efficiencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2013Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: GAST MANUFACTURING, INC.Inventor: Christopher Lee Blackburn

Patent number: 8585373Abstract: The present invention discloses a hermetic compressor which can reduce the noise by regulating a suction pressure in a connector enabling a suction pipe of a hermetic container and a suction muffler to communicate with each other. The hermetic compressor includes: a hermetic container including a suction pipe through which refrigerant is sucked and accommodating a compression mechanism unit for compressing the refrigerant; a suction muffler fixed to the compression mechanism unit and reducing the flow noise when the refrigerant passes; and a connector enabling the suction pipe and the suction muffler to communicate with each other and including a hole on a refrigerant passage to communicate with an inner space of the hermetic container. An inner pressure of the connector is equalized with an inner pressure of the hermetic container, which raises a refrigerant suction pressure.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventor: Bok-Ann Park

Patent number: 8529224Abstract: A hermetic compressor for adjusting the length and cross sectional area of a communication path as a refrigerant flow passage, so as to attenuate a discharge pulsation and consequently, a vibration and noise thereof. The hermetic compressor, which includes a cylinder head having a discharge chamber to discharge a compressed refrigerant and a discharge muffler to receive the refrigerant discharged from the discharge chamber, further includes a communication path to communicate the discharge chamber and the discharge muffler with each other, so as to allow the refrigerant to flow from the discharge chamber into the discharge muffler, and an auxiliary communication tube to increase a length of the communication path for increasing a refrigerant flow distance. The auxiliary communication path reduces the cross sectional area of a refrigerant flow passage while increasing a refrigerant flow distance, thereby attenuating a low-frequency component of the discharge pulsation.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2008Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jeong Il Park, Jeong Hoon Kang, Ji Hoon Choi, Phil Soo Chang
