Abstract

A compressor arrangement comprises a mounting, an evaporation trough, which may be inserted in the mounting on a number of slide-in tracks up to a final position and a compressor, wherein the separation of the evaporation trough from the compressor is greater in the final position of each slide-in track than at least one other point on the slide-in track.

Claims (16)

1. A compressor arrangement comprising a mounting assembly having a plurality of slide-in tracks formed as a plurality of longitudinally extending guide grooves arranged in a spaced vertical array, an evaporation trough configured for insertion in the mounting assembly on said plurality of slide-in tracks at different heights in the spaced vertical array including a final position, and a compressor, wherein the separation of the evaporation trough from the compressor is greater in the final position of each slide-in track than an insertion point on the slide-in track.

2. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the mounting assembly includes a stop member, against which the evaporation trough lies in the final position.

3. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the point at which the evaporation trough and the compressor have their smallest separation from one another is at the start of the slide-in track.

4. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 and further comprising first elements of a tongue-and-groove connection and second elements of a tongue-and-groove connection, said first elements being a plurality of ribs arranged at the evaporation trough and so configured that they can be brought into engagement with said second elements, with said second elements being the guide grooves.

5. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 and further comprising first elements of a tongue-and-groove connection arranged in a central region of the evaporation trough relative to the width of the evaporation trough.

6. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 and further comprising first elements of a tongue-and-groove connection provided in a region of the evaporation trough projecting from the upper side of the evaporation trough.

7. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 and further comprising first elements of a tongue-and-groove connection arranged on opposing sides of a vertical line running through the center of gravity of the evaporation trough.

8. The compressor arrangement according to claim 7 and further comprising a plurality of second elements of a tongue-and-groove connection.

9. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 and further comprising second elements of the tongue-and-groove connection provided on the mounting assembly.

10. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the slide-in track is not at right angles to a separation vector between the evaporation trough and the compressor at the point at which both have the smallest separation from one another.

11. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 wherein a tongue-and-groove connection comprises ribs and grooves running transversely to the slide-in track, disposed between the mounting and the evaporation trough.

12. The compressor arrangement according to claim 11 wherein a penetration depth of at least one rib in a groove varies along the groove.

13. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 and further comprising a spring configured for urging the evaporation trough in the direction of the compressor.

14. The compressor arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the evaporation trough is connected to the mounting assembly by frictional engagement in the inserted condition.

15. A compressor arrangement comprising a mounting assembly having a plurality of guide grooves, an evaporation trough configured for insertion in the mounting assembly on said plurality of guide grooves at different heights including a final position, and a compressor, wherein the separation of the evaporation trough from the compressor is greater in the final position of each guide groove than at least one other point on the guide groove, wherein in a section parallel to the insertion direction, the compressor has an upper summit point and the evaporation trough has a lower summit point and at the point of at least one of the guide grooves at which the evaporation trough and the compressor have the smallest separation from one another, the summit points lie one upon the other.

16. The compressor arrangement according to claim 15 , wherein the lower summit point is formed by a rib.
