  • Patent number: 4190402
    Abstract: A compressor motor has a flywheel connected directly to a motor shaft which drives two opposed pistons that are simultaneously compressed so that the bearing loads are balanced. A double inlet blower is connected to said shaft and has one inlet for drawing cooling air through a crankcase for cooling the connecting rod bearings. A second inlet draws air through a vent formed in a shroud member. The blower discharges the air from both inlets into the shroud member which then directs the air to the cylinder sleeves and heads for cooling purposes. The cylinder, piston skirts and piston rings are self-lubricated by containing a fluorocarbon thereby substantially reducing the heat generating friction between said members.
