Abstract:
1. A compressor, comprising: a housing including a case and a front head attached to the case; a compressor body contained in the housing and including a rotational shaft; and an intake chamber provided in the front head between the compressor body and the front head, wherein the front head includes an intake port, an upper wall portion and a lower wall portion, wherein an uncompressed fluid enters through the intake port into the intake chamber, and the uncompressed fluid is subsequently transferred from the intake chamber to the compressor body for compression, wherein the upper wall portion is closer to the intake port than the lower wall portion, wherein the lower wall portion has an inner surface facing the case, the inner surface of the lower wall portion being planar and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rotational shaft, and wherein the upper wall portion of the front head extends obliquely and upwardly toward the case, and the lower wall portion of the front head is extended further away from the case than the upper wall portion in a direction parallel with the longitudinal axis of the rotational shaft to increase a capacity of the intake chamber.
