Abstract:
A linear compressor is provided, The linear compressor may include a cylinder; a frame coupled to an outer side of the cylinder; a cylinder groove defined on an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder; and a sealing member provided in the cylinder groove. The sealing member may be provided between the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder and an inner circumferential surface of the frame.
Abstract:
Provided is a linear compressor including a linear motor having a mover reciprocating with respect to a stator; a piston coupled to the mover to reciprocate; a cylinder into which the piston is slidingly inserted, the cylinder having an inner circumferential surface forming a bearing surface together with an external circumferential surface of the piston, the cylinder forming a compression space together with the piston, and the cylinder having at least one first hole formed through the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder and an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder to guide refrigerant discharged from the compression space to the bearing surface; and a porous member inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder and configured to cover the first hole, the porous member having multiple micropores smaller than the first hole.
Abstract:
A linear compressor is provided that may include a casing, a compressor body accommodated in the casing and defining a compression space for a refrigerant, a suction pipe coupled to a first side of the casing to supply the refrigerant to the compression space, a discharge pipe coupled to a second side of the casing to discharge the refrigerant compressed in the compression space outside of the casing, a process pipe coupled to the second side of the casing spaced apart from the discharge pipe to inject a refrigerant for supplement into the casing, and a separator that separates a mixed fluid of a refrigerant and oil injected through the process pipe.

Abstract:
A linear compressor and a method of manufacturing a linear compressor are provided. The linear compressor may include a shell including a suction inlet, a cylinder having a compression space, in which a refrigerant suctioned in through the suction inlet may be compressed, a piston reciprocated within the cylinder, a first surface treatment disposed on an outer surface of the piston, the first surface treatment having a first hardness value, which is a measured hardness value, and a buffer disposed between the outer surface of the piston and the first surface treatment. The buffer may have a second hardness value, which is a measured hardness value. The first hardness value of the first surface treatment may be greater than the second hardness value of the buffer.
