  • Publication number: 20250383100
    Abstract: An embodiment of an outdoor unit for a climate control system includes a refrigerant compressor. In addition, the outdoor unit includes a plurality of refrigerant lines coupled to the refrigerant compressor. Further, the outdoor unit includes an enclosure positioned around the refrigerant compressor, wherein the enclosure includes an inner jacket and an outer jacket, the inner jacket being engaged with the outer jacket such that the inner jacket is configured to deform independently from the outer jacket to dissipate vibration emitted from the refrigerant compressor.

  • Publication number: 20150059389
    Abstract: A refrigeration unit is disclosed that includes a fluid cooled power electronics package. The refrigeration unit can include a variable speed motor used to drive a compressor. The variable speed motor is driven by the fluid cooled power electronics where the fluid used to cool the electronics is working fluid from the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration unit. A conduit is configured to route cooling fluid to the electronics. In one embodiment the electronics can be removed without the need to disassemble the conduit that carries the cooling fluid to the power electronics.
