Refrigeration compressor and method of assembling same

摘要

A method of assembling a hermetic refrigeration motor compressor is disclosed wherein the motor stator is assembled in a first shell section, the compressor is assembled in another shell section and the two shell sections are aligned and secured together in such a manner as to insure a uniform air gap between the rotor and stator. The method employed enables the two shell sections to be initially locked in position before complete welding of the periphery so as to avoid potential heat distortion.
