  • Enhanced suction gas management in a refrigeration compressor
    Patent number: 6254354
    Abstract: A hermetic reciprocating compressor employs a motor end cap through which suction gas passes in heat exchange contact with the compressor drive motor enroute to the compressor. The end cap has a suction gas aperture and employs apparatus for preventing the entry of debris thereinto and defines a closeable aperture through which the gap between the rotor and stator of the compressor drive motor is accessible during the compressor manufacturing process.
