Abstract: A muffler for motor compressors for refrigeration appliances consisting of at least three expansion chambers interconnected by passages which are narrower than the chambers; a tube is located in one of said chambers and fastened to the outlet and inlet ports of said chamber. This tube is provided with openings to let the refrigerant gas flow through and for attenuating the resonance frequency of that gas. The diameter of the openings is inversely proportional to the number of openings.

Abstract: A sealed motor-compressor unit having a suction side muffler directly attached to the cylinder head by a niche in the cylinder head which receives the muffler. A "U" shaped spring has two legs contacting sidewalls of the niche and a bight portion which contacts and biases the muffler.

Abstract: A terminal box for a hermetic compressor for connecting electrically the feeding lines to electrical components of a refrigerator casing and the compressor and suitable for coupling to a plate fixed to the compressor, comprising a body, seats formed in an upper pan of the body for housing terminals for feeding lines, a clamp in a lower part of the body for fixing the lines to the body, a cover for covering the body, a snap catch for elastically fixing the body to the plate and a snap catch for elastically fixing the cover to the plate.

Abstract: A hermetic motor compressor comprising a shell formed by an upper and a lower cap connected one to the other in such a way that an airtight closure is obtained in the shell, and by feet fixed to the lower cap for positioning the shell in the correct position during its working, the lower cap defining lower cap lateral surfaces having a very large curvature radius connected to first, second, third and fourth curved surfaces. First and second curved surfaces being connected to a lateral plane and third and fourth curved surfaces being connected one to the other, the lower cap defining a sphere-shape in a lower part thereof and a band in the upper part thereof which is joined to the upper cap.

Abstract: A muffler system for a refrigeration motor-compressor comprising an upper and lower case, a compressor formed by a motor and by a body in which a muffler is fixed, a tube fixed to the lower case conveying the refrigerant gas into the cases, an asymmetric side groove provided along the muffler and positioned with regard to the tube, through which the gas arrives in the case, in such a way that the refrigerant gas passes near a farther side of the groove with an angle of incidence causing the alien particles suspended in the gas to rebound far from the muffler and the gas to be kept by the groove side nearer to the tube and an inlet in the groove for conveying the gas to the compressor cylinder.

Abstract: Reciprocating hermetic motor compressor wherein the head has only the delivery chamber and the suction muffler is directly fixed to the valve plate in such a way that a thermic exchange between the refrigerant sucked gas and the head is avoided.
