Abstract:
A hermetic reciprocating compressor comprising:a sealed casing having an upper shell and a lower shell; an electronic device portion located in the sealed casing; a compression device portion coupled to the electronic device portion, the electronic device portion driving the compression device portion to compress and discharge a refrigerant; a suspension system for absorbing or damping a vibration produced by the electronic device portion and the compression device portion, the suspension system elastically and movably supporting the compression device portion on the lower shell of the sealed casing, the suspension system transmitting the vibration along a path toward the sealed casing; and casing rigidity increasing means for exerting elasticity between the compression device portion and the lower shell to control a transmission of noise produced from the electronic device portion and the compression device portion through the sealed casing and to disperse the vibration transmitted by the suspension system.
