Abstract
A compressor muffler includes a housing having an inlet end and an outlet end. A baffle arrangement extends from an interior surface of the housing. The baffle arrangement includes a surface capable of reflecting compressed fluid to attenuate noise. A valve assembly is disposed inside the baffle arrangement. The valve assembly is positionable between a first position and a second position. The valve assembly also includes a valve surface that at least partially prevents flow of fluid through the housing from the outlet end when the valve assembly is in the first position.
