A muffler assembly for a compressor that suppresses noise that would
otherwise escape from the inlet of the compressor during its operation.
The muffler assembly includes an intake conduit that has an inlet
portion, an outlet portion adapted to couple to an inlet of a compressor,
a longitudinal axis defined between the inlet portion and the outlet
portion, and a passage defined through the intake conduit generally
parallel to the longitudinal axis. A baffle is disposed in the intake
conduit generally traversing the passage. The baffle is defined in a
plane that is disposed at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis.
An opening is defined at least partially by the baffle and disposed
generally proximate to the outlet portion of the intake conduit.
