CYLINDER APPARATUS FOR ON RECIPROCATING CANPRESSOR

摘要

A reciprocating compressor includes a cylindrical bore in which a piston reciprocates. A cylinder head is situated adjacent an end of the bore and forms a suction chamber and a discharge chamber which communicate with the bore through respective valved passages. Fluid to be compressed enters the suction chamber through an outlet section of a muffler. That outlet section is made of a material having low thermal conductivity (plastic) and fits into the suction chamber to resist the transfer of heat to the suction chamber from the discharge chamber. A capillary tube includes an inlet end submerged in an oil reservoir and an outlet end mounted in a hole formed in the outlet section of the muffler for supplying oil to fluid entering the bore.
