Patent number: 7780421Abstract: A refrigerant compressor has a hermetically tight compressor housing inside of which a piston-cylinder unit operates. A suction muffler through which refrigerant flows to the intake valve of the piston-cylinder unit is provided on the cylinder head. The inlet of the suction muffler has a cross section via which refrigerant flows into the suction muffler. A compensating volume is provided inside of which refrigerant oscillates and which is connected to the suction muffler and the interior of the compressor housing. The cross section of the inlet also acts as the connecting port between the compensating volume and the filling volume. The compensating volume is formed by an outer tube directed into the compressor housing, which tightly surrounds the intake port of the inlet while surrounding the section of the refrigerant suction pipe that is connected to the evaporator of the compressor and extends into the interior of the compressor housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2005Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: ACC Austria GmbHInventor: Alfred Freiberger

Publication number: 20090165487Abstract: The aim of the invention is to create a receptacle (4) which is used for evaporating condensed liquid on a small coolant compressor, allows the heat generated by the small coolant compressor to be utilized in an optimal way, and is easy and inexpensive to produce and mount on the compressor housing. The aim is achieved by embodying the receptacle (4) as a plastic part that is deep-drawn in a receiving device (6) directly on the compressor housing. The plastic part perfectly matches the shape of the receiving device (6) such that the air gap that is usually formed between the compressor housing and the receptacle (4) can be eliminated altogether or reduced to a minimum. A holding element (2) that is arranged on the outer circumference of the cover part (1) ensures optimum support for the receptacle (4), thus dispensing with the need for expensive anti-corrosive measures while the evaporator power and the coefficient of performance (COP) of the small coolant compressor are optimized.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2006Publication date: July 2, 2009Applicant: ACC AUSTRIA GMBHInventor: Volker Stübler
