SUCTION SOUND DAMPER FOR A REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR

摘要

A suction sound damper (1) for a refrigerant compressor is disclosed, having an inlet (6), which is arranged to be connected to a suction port, and an outlet (8), which is arranged to be connected to the refrigerant compressor, and also having at least one damping volume. It is desirable for a suction sound damper of that kind to be of simple and inexpensive construction, and to contribute to increasing the efficiency of a refrigerant compressor. For that purpose, it is formed from a first and a second half (2, 3) which define an internal space in which the damping volume is arranged, the first half (2) having projecting into the internal space a gas deflection wall (10) which, at least over sections thereof, forms a lateral limitation of a flow path (16) free from throttle points between inlet (6) and outlet (8).
