Internal baffle system for a multi-cylinder compressor

摘要

A compressor assembly is disclosed including a compressor mechanism mounted within a hermetically sealed housing. A cylinder block contains a plurality of reciprocating pistons within compression chambers. The compression chambers include a discharge valve which permits compressed refrigerant to empty into the common discharge chamber. A baffle system is included within the common discharge muffler chamber to eliminate pressure pulses and cross talk between discharge valve assemblies, thereby increasing the discharge valve opening speed and correspondingly increasing the compressor efficiency.
