Abstract: A hermetic compressor casing is capable of reducing transmission of vibration to the outside environment by blocking the vibration from the compressor body. The hermetic compressor casing encloses a refrigerant compressing means, which draws in low temperature and low pressure gaseous refrigerant from an evaporator, compresses the drawn refrigerant and discharges the compressed refrigerant. The hermetic compressor casing includes an inner shell enclosing the refrigerant compressing means and having a passageway through which the gaseous refrigerant is drawn in and discharged out, a damping layer enclosing the exterior of the inner shell having a predetermined thickness, and an outer shell enclosing the exterior of the damping layer. As a result, vibration produced from the refrigerant compressing means is damped through the damping layer.

Abstract: A hermetic compressor includes a compressing chamber and a valve plate forming suction and discharge ports communicating with the chamber. A discharge valve has one end fixed to the valve plae and a free end that is flexible to open and close the discharge port. A discharge backer has one end fixed to the valve plate and is positioned to limit the opening movement of the discharge valve. The discharge backer includes integral protrusions projecting toward the discharge valve. One of the projections is in constant contact with the discharge valve and forms a fulcrum therefor.
