COMPRESSOR WITH IMPROVED VALVE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A thermal-valve assembly for a compressor including a partition plate having a first bore formed therethrough is provided. The thermal-valve assembly may include a body having a wall extending from and surrounding a bottom wall. The bottom wall may include a first surface defining a valve seat, a second surface formed on an opposite side of the bottom wall than the first surface and facing the partition plate, and a second bore extending through the bottom wall between the first surface and the second surface and aligned with the first bore. A projection may extend from the second surface and may be attached to the partition plate. A valve element may be received by the body and may be supported on the valve seat between an open state permitting communication through the second bore and a closed state preventing communication through the second bore.
