<p>An oil separator and muffler for use on the outlet of a compressor in a refrigerator. There is a chamber having an inlet to compressed refrigerant from the compressor. A perforate filter member in the chamber allows the refrigerant to pass. The member is able to remove non-gaseous impurities in the refrigerant. The perforate member is disposed to define downwardly inclined pathways in the chamber whereby liquid impurities can run downwardly to the bottom of the chamber. There is an outlet in the chamber for refrigerant that has passed through the perforate member and a drain in the base of the chamber for impurities gathered in the base of the chamber to be removed. The device acts as a muffler, vibration dampener and oil remover.</p> |
