Abstract
The invention refers to a linear compressor, comprising: a shell (); a cylinder () affixed to the shell () and defining a compression chamber (C); a piston () to be displaced in reciprocating movement in the interior of the compression chamber (C) during the operation of the compressor; a linear electric motor () mounted to the shell (); and an actuating means () operatively coupling the piston () to the linear electric motor (), in order to make the latter displace the piston () in a reciprocating movement in the interior of the compression chamber (C), the actuating means () being coupled to the piston () by an elastic means (), so that the actuating means () and the piston () be displaced in phase opposition during the operation of the compressor.
