Compressor

Abstract

A compressor designed to discharge a refrigerant compressed in the compressor to the outside through a cylinder head and a discharge muffler. The compressor is designed to prevent heat of a refrigerant passing through a discharge chamber and the discharge muffler in the cylinder head from being transferred to a compressing chamber, thereby enhancing efficiency of the compressor. The compressor includes the discharge chamber to contain temporarily a refrigerant compressed in a compressing chamber, and a heat-radiating member to radiate heat from the discharge chamber to the outside.

1 . A compressor, comprising: 
 a discharge chamber to contain temporarily a refrigerant compressed in a compressing chamber; and    a heat-radiating member to radiate heat from the discharge chamber to the outside.    
   
   
       2 . The compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat-radiating member has one end submerged to oil flowing in the compressor.  
   
   
       3 . The compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat-radiating member comprises at least one heat-radiating fin made of a metallic material.  
   
   
       4 . The compressor according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a cylinder block;    a piston received in the cylinder block and having the compressing chamber defined in a space between the cylinder block and the piston; and    a cylinder head disposed on the cylinder block and including the discharge chamber.    
   
   
       5 . The compressor according to  claim 4 , wherein the cylinder head is made of aluminum.  
   
   
       6 . The compressor according to  claim 4 , wherein the heat-radiating member is provided to the cylinder head.  
   
   
       7 . The compressor according to  claim 4 , wherein the cylinder head is provided with a discharge muffler to prevent noise from the compressing chamber from being transmitted to the outside.  
   
   
       8 . The compressor according to  claim 7 , wherein the discharge muffler may be formed therein with a fluid pathway communicated with the discharge chamber via a refrigerant pathway.  
   
   
       9 . The compressor according to  claim 7 , wherein the discharge muffler is spaced a predetermined distance from the cylinder block.  
   
   
       10 . The compressor according to  claim 7 , wherein the cylinder head and the discharge muffler are integrally formed.  
   
   
       11 . A compressor, comprising: 
 a cylinder block including a compressing chamber;    a cylinder head disposed on the cylinder block and including a discharge chamber which communicates with the compressing chamber; and    a discharge muffler provided to the cylinder head and which communicates with the discharge chamber, the discharge muffler being spaced apart from the cylinder block, such that heat of the discharge muffler is not directly transmitted to the cylinder block.
