COMPACT DISCHARGE DEVICE FOR THE REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR OF AN APPLIANCE

摘要

A discharge device for a refrigeration compressor is provided. The device can include a discharge tube connected with the discharge of the refrigeration compressor. A bellows surrounds a perforated portion of the discharge tube. The length of the discharge tube can be minimized to decrease pressure loss. The discharge can be insulated to prevent the distribution of heat to the compressor and/or to allow for the recovery of heat energy later in the refrigeration cycle.
