Abstract
The invention concerns a linear compressor, particularly a refrigerant compressor, with a housing (') and a compression unit, which comprises a compressor with a piston and a cylinder as well as a linear motor driving the piston in relation to the cylinder along a movement axis, the compression unit () being connected to the housing () via a spring arrangement (). It is endeavoured to provide a space saving support of the compression unit () in the housing that enables good vibration suppression. For this purpose, the spring arrangement comprises a spring (), which is curved in the circumferential direction in relation to the movement axis (), said spring surrounding the compression unit (-) on at least a share of its circumference.
