Abstract
A compressor for compressing fluid is provided. The compressor includes a housing having a housing inlet for receiving fluid and a housing outlet for discharging the fluid. A compressing mechanism is adapted to compress the fluid toward the housing outlet. The compressing mechanism is disposed in the housing. A drive unit is operatively connected to the compressing mechanism for driving the compressing mechanism to compress fluid. A suction duct is disposed in the housing. The suction duct extends vertically downward from the housing inlet toward a sump defined in the housing. The suction duct is configured for attachment to a motor housing. The suction duct has a duct inlet fluidically connected with the housing inlet, and defines a passage fluidically connecting the duct inlet with an interior cavity of the housing. A suction gas filter disposed in the suction duct, and having a filter screen positioned downstream of the duct inlet.
