Air compressor pump with condensing chamber

Abstract

An air compressor pump is provided, including a crankcase with an opening and a crankshaft extending out of the opening; a cover disposed over the opening in the crankcase; and a condensing chamber formed between the crankcase and the cover.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An air compressor pump comprising:
 a crankcase with an opening and a crankshaft extending out of the opening;   a cover disposed over the opening in the crankcase; and   a condensing chamber formed between the crankcase and the cover.   
     
     
         2 . The air compressor pump of  claim 1  further comprising:
 one or more ribs disposed on an outer surface of the cover, or an inner surface of the cover, or both. 
 
     
     
         3 . The air compressor pump of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a baffle disposed between the crankcase and the cover, disposed for defining the condensing chamber. 
 
     
     
         4 . The air compressor pump of  claim 3  further comprising:
 a positioning aperture and a condensing chamber aperture both being disposed in the baffle. 
 
     
     
         5 . The air compressor pump of  claim 3  further comprising:
 a vent aperture disposed in the cover. 
 
     
     
         6 . The air compressor pump of  claim 3 , wherein said baffle is constructed and arranged to form a thermal barrier between the condensing chamber, which has relatively cool air circulating across it, and the internal sump of the crankcase, which has a mixture of hot oil, oil vapor and air. 
     
     
         7 . The air compressor pump of  claim 3 , wherein said baffle is made of elastomeric material.
