Abstract
A hermetic compressor including a suction muffler disposed opposite the suction inlet tube. A funnelled or countersunk inlet port on the muffler permits semi-direct refrigerant flow into the muffler, creating enhanced cooling of the motor and higher compressor efficiency. Baffle walls disposed parallel and on opposite sides of an internal standpipe within the suction muffler create an increased resonator effect with optimum refrigerant throughput.
