Abstract: A compressor construction is provided which includes a sealed housing having a motor and a compressor unit connected in driving relationship with the motor. The compressor unit is provided with an inlet port which is adapted to receive low pressure fluid therethrough and an outlet port through which the fluid passes under high pressure. The housing includes a housing inlet port that is connected to the compressor unit inlet port through an appropriate conduit. Additionally, a housing outlet port is provided that is aligned with the compressor unit outlet port. However, no direct connection is provided between the compressor unit outlet port and the housing outlet port, thereby providing a compressor construction which substantially eliminates the hydraulic hammer effect and noisy operation of prior compressor constructions.
