Abstract

The present invention refers to an acoustic filter for reciprocating compressor and, in special, a suction acoustic filter containing at least one inlet pipeline ( 21 ), at least one outlet pipeline ( 22 ), and at least one intermediate pipeline ( 42 ). Said acoustic filter ( 1 ) comprises at least two horizontal chambers ( 5, 6 ), wherein said chambers are interconnected by an intermediate pipeline ( 42 ), which has a superior portion ( 421 ) with a length that is equivalent to approximately 75% to 98% of the height of the first horizontal chamber ( 5 ) and an inferior portion ( 422 ) with a length that is equivalent to approximately 45% to 80% of the height of the second horizontal chamber ( 6 ).

Claims (13)

1. An acoustic filter suitable for reciprocating compressor comprising:

at least a superior body ( 2 ), at least an inferior body ( 3 ), at least an internal body ( 4 ), at least one inlet pipeline ( 21 ), at least one outlet pipeline ( 22 ), and at least one intermediate pipeline ( 42 ), CHARACTERIZED in that:

said acoustic filter ( 1 ) comprises at least two horizontal chambers ( 5 , 6 ), wherein a first horizontal chamber ( 5 ) is disposed over a second horizontal chamber ( 6 );

said horizontal chambers ( 5 , 6 ) are delimited by the internal body ( 4 );

said at least one inlet pipeline ( 21 ) protrudes from the superior body ( 2 ) connecting the exterior of said acoustic filter to the first horizontal chamber ( 5 );

said at least one intermediate pipeline ( 42 ) is comprised by the internal body ( 4 ), wherein said intermediate pipeline ( 42 ) extends to both horizontal chambers ( 5 , 6 ) from the internal body ( 4 );

said at least one outlet pipeline ( 22 ) of the superior body connects the second horizontal chamber ( 6 ) to the compression chamber of the compressor; and

said at least one intermediate pipeline ( 42 ) comprising a superior segment ( 421 ) which extends from the internal body ( 4 ) to the first horizontal chamber ( 5 ) with a length that is equivalent to approximately 75% to 98% of the height of the first horizontal chamber ( 5 ).

2. The acoustic filter of claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that said at least one intermediate pipeline ( 42 ) comprises an inferior segment ( 422 ), which extends from the internal body ( 4 ) to the second horizontal chamber ( 6 ) with a length that is equivalent to approximately 45% to 80% of the height of the second horizontal chamber ( 6 ).

3. The acoustic filter of claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that said inlet pipeline ( 21 ) has a fundamentally oblong perimeter.

4. The acoustic filter of claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that said inlet pipeline ( 21 ) has a fundamentally circular perimeter.

5. The acoustic filter of claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that said inlet pipeline ( 21 ) has at least one inlet shield ( 211 ) that is defined by an angled displacement (α) between the vertical edge ( 21 b ) and a plane which orthogonally cuts the outlet pipeline ( 21 ).

6. The acoustic filter of claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that the inlet pipeline ( 21 ) opening is disposed misaligned with the suction pipeline (TS).
