An improved muffler system for a compressor assembly where the muffler is
disposed within the compressor housing and a peripheral edge of the
muffler abuts, and expansively engages, the interior surface of the
housing in an interference fit relationship. The compressor pump is
attached to the muffler where the pump is substantially thermally and
vibrationally isolated from the housing. The muffler, the compressor pump
and the compressor housing define a series of chambers in which noise
generated by the compressor pump is dissipated. The dimensions of the
chambers are chosen to cause acoustical waves having specific,
undesirable frequencies to cancel each other out.
