A muffler system for a compressor includes an expansion chamber muffler for attenuating
sound pressure pulses and an acoustic muffler for filtering high-frequency pressure
pulsations. The acoustic muffler is connected inline along the discharge side of
the compressor between the discharge port of the cylinder head and a discharge
tube in fluid communication with the outlet port of the compressor housing. A conduit
is in fluid communication between the outlet port of the compressor housing and
the condenser to supply the flow of refrigerant therebetween. Interposed adjacent
the compressor housing, but exterior to the compressor housing is an expansion
chamber muffler in fluid communication with the conduit for further attenuating
pressure pulses generated by operation of the compressor.
