Abstract

The present invention relates to the technological field of acoustic filters applied to hermetic compressors. Problem to be solved: In hermetic compressors applied in cooling system, the work fluid sucked by the compression mechanism is hotter than the work fluid coming from the evaporator, and it is known that greater the temperature of this fluid, smaller is the efficiency of the compressor. Resolution of the problem: It is revealed a suction acoustic filter and a suction line including this acoustic filter capable of guarantee that the compression mechanism works mainly with the work fluid coming from the evaporator, which is colder than the work fluid accumulated inside the environment defined by the hermetic housing of compressor.

Claims (16)

1. A suction line of a hermetic compressor, said suction line comprising a suction acoustic filter with:

at least one inlet path, at least one acoustic chamber, and at least one outlet path;

at least one nozzle fluidly connected to the at least one inlet path and having at least one fluid inlet area and at least one fluid directing area for the inlet path of the suction acoustic filter, said at least one fluid inlet area being in fluid communication with a housing of the hermetic compressor;

the suction line being characterized by:

said nozzle comprises at least one part of divergent section related to the main flow of the outflow (FPE); and

said part of divergent section being situated between the at least one fluid inlet area and the at least one fluid directing area, whereby said part is adapted to block the fluid from the housing of the hermetic compressor from entering on the nozzle.

2. Suction line according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the part of divergent section related to (FPE) comprises a cross-sectional area smaller than the fluid directing area.

3. Suction line according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that said nozzle comprises a modular body to suction acoustic filter.

4. Suction line according to claim 3 , characterized by the fact that said nozzle is fixed to the suction acoustic filter by a hermetic fixing means.

5. Suction line according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that said nozzle comprises an integrated body to the suction acoustic filter.

6. Suction line according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the fluid inlet of the nozzle is situated laterally disposed related to said suction acoustic filter.

7. Suction line according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that it comprises

at least one suction passer

with an outlet adjacently disposed on the fluid inlet area of the nozzle of the suction acoustic filter.

8. Suction line according to claim 7 , characterized by the fact that the suction passer outlet is adjacently disposed, directly, to the fluid inlet area of the nozzle of the suction acoustic filter.

9. Suction line according to claim 7 , characterized by the fact that the suction passer outlet is adjacently disposed, indirectly, to the fluid inlet area of the nozzle of the suction acoustic filter.
