  • Two part reed valve and method of manufacturing
    Patent number: 6227825
    Abstract: Improved membrane valve for transferring fluids or gases in hermetic or semi-hermetic compressors, including a method and system for manufacturing a membrane valve and a membrane valve with applications for use in several motors, particularly in hermetic or semi-hermetic compressors which use, as a refrigeration fluid, an appropriate type of gas thus promoting the refrigeration physical affect. The above mentioned gas is to be transferred from one chamber to the other, according to a pre-determined frequency, when utilized in conjunction with a piston. A body and a membrane are produced from substantially thin metallic plates separately in accordance to an available process and subjected to rounding in order to eliminate live comers, and then juxtaposed thus composing the valve, with the above mentioned membrane on one side, fitted to the body which is fixed through a connection process and, on the other side, left free to oscillate, thus allowing the passage of a fluid such as a refrigeration gas.

  • Suspension for hermetic compressors for refrigeration
    Patent number: 6004113
    Abstract: Improvement of the suspension of hermetic compressors for refrigeration in the interior of a hermetically closed shell (A) through a suspension (S) formed by a set of helicoidal springs (1), which extremities have upper (2) and lower (3) means of support and fitting to the corresponding parts of the compressor (C) and the shell (A); said upper and lower means of fixation of each spring (1) presents a truncated conical tip (4) for penetrating the internal diameter of the spring, while on the opposite end, it includes a flange (5) for seat, foreseeing inclusively an upper perforation (6) for the penetration of a pin (P) existent on the corresponding part of the compressor (C) so that the compressor (C) can be fixed in a springy way to the interior of the shell (A), using seating surfaces (7A), helicoidal or spiraled, practically the shape of one coil, where a step (8) that confers fitting and, at the same time, encloses the uneven circular surface that compensates the unevenness resulting from the tip (9) of th
