RECIPROCATING REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR OIL SEALING

摘要

A compressor (20) has a case (22) and a crankshaft (38). The case has at least one cylinder (30 32). For each of the cylinders, the compressor includes a piston (34) mounted for reciprocal movement at least partially within the cylinder. A connecting rod (36) couples each piston to the crankshaft. The case has a wall through which the crankshaft extends. The case bears a lip seal as a primary seal (97). The lip seal engages an adjacent portion (86) of the crankshaft. The adjacent portion bears a coating (140).
