Refrigerant compressor

Abstract

The invention concerns a refrigerant compressor with a motor, a compressor driven by the motor, and a muffling device having at least one muffler with a housing. It is endeavoured to reduce the thermal influence of suction gas in the refrigerant compressor. For this purpose, it is ensured that the housing has at least one outer wall, which is made of a foamed plastic.

1 . A refrigerant compressor with a motor, a compressor driven by the motor, and a muffling device having at least one muffler with a housing, and wherein the housing has at least one outer wall, which is made of a foamed plastic.  
     
     
         2 . A compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein all outer walls are made of foamed plastic.  
     
     
         3 . A compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing is made of foamed plastic.  
     
     
         4 . A compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein a connection line between the muffler and the compressor is made of foamed plastic.  
     
     
         5 . A compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein the muffler is located in a case, in which the motor and/or the compressor is located.  
     
     
         6 . A compressor according to  claim 5 , wherein a connection line between the case and the muffler is made of foamed plastic.  
     
     
         7 . A compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein the foamed plastic is a foamed PBT.  
     
     
         8 . A compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein the size of the cells of the foamed plastic is in the range from 5 to 50 μm.
