<p>PCT No. PCT/KR96/00096 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 21, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 21, 1997 PCT Filed Jun. 24, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/01033 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 9, 1997A coolant supply apparatus for a linear compressor which includes a stator mounted at one side of a flange for generating a magnetic field therearound and a horizontal operating unit which reciprocates horizontally. The horizontal operating unit includes a magnet disposed inside the stator and a piston, which is integral with the magnet and reciprocates horizontally within a cylinder. The coolant supply apparatus further includes a coolant oil pocket for guiding a predetermined amount of coolant oil to an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder in cooperation with a suction force of the piston and for cooling a heat generated in the cylinder. A plurality of coolant oil sucking/discharging holes are formed at the cylinder in order for the coolant oil filled in the coolant oil pocket to be introduced between the cylinder and the piston therethrough. A coolant oil discharging hole is formed in order for a predetermined amount of the coolant oil filled in the coolant oil pocket to be discharged therethrough. A valve plate is provided for introducing the coolant oil discharged through the coolant oil discharging hole and for preventing the leakage of a refrigerant gas.</p> |
