Abstract
A damping device is arranged in a gas passage in a compressor for damping compression waves transmitted from suction valves. The damping device includes a damper arranged in a damper hole provided in a pipe fitting of the compressor housing. The damper has concentric inner and outer cylindrical walls, and end wall closing ends of the inner and outer cylindrical walls, and radial holes at the end of the inner cylindrical wall. The outer cylindrical wall is arranged in the damper hole and the inner cylindrical wall is fitted in the fitting hole leading to the suction chamber. A gas passage is formed by an inner passage portion, radial holes, an inter-wall passage portion, a radial passage portion at the end opposite to radial holes, and an outer passage portion between the outer cylindrical wall and the side cylindrical wall of the damper hole.
