A vibration dampening system for a reciprocating compressor with a linear
motor of the type comprising a motor-compressor assembly having a
reference assembly (20) formed by a motor and a cylinder (4) and mounted
inside a shell (1) and a resonant assembly (10) formed by a resonant
spring (3) and piston (2) reciprocating inside the cylinder (4), the
system comprising at least one first balancing means (30) connecting the
reference assembly (20) to the shell (1), and at least one second
balancing means (40) connecting the resonant assembly (10) to the shell
(1), both balancing means (30, 40) actuating according to the displacement
direction of the piston (2), said second balancing means (40) presenting a
coefficient of elasticity proportional to the coefficient of elasticity of
the first balancing means (30) by a factor defined by the ratio of the
masses of the resonant assembly (10) and of the reference assembly (20),
respectively.
