Abstract
A linear compressor includes a housing defining a sump for collecting a lubricant and a pump for circulating a flow of lubricant within the housing. A heat dissipation or heat exchange assembly includes a plate mounted on a lower portion of the housing to define one or more fluid passageways between the plate and the housing. Hot oil is collected from the working components of the linear compressor and is passed through the one or more fluid passageways to discharge heat through the housing before the oil is returned to the sump.
