A muffler for a hermetic rotary compressor including a muffler body
forming a plurality of noise reducing spaces in which refrigerant gas
flows; a discharge port formed on the muffler body so as to be located on
the nose reducing spaces side; and a guide cover coupled to an inner wall
of the muffler body in radial direction for guiding the refrigerant gas
flowing in the noise reducing spaces to be discharged to the discharge
port, and therefore the noise generated during the discharge of the
compressed refrigerant gas to inside a sealed chamber, and a flow
resistance for the discharged refrigerant gas is reduced, whereby the
electric power consumption is reduced, and the structure and assembling
processes can be simplified.
