ACOUSTIC ATTENUATING DEVICE FOR COMPRESSORS

Acoustic attenuating device for compressors which includes a hollow body having at least one input port, at least one output channel, at least one output port disposed in the at least one output channel, an intermediate body dividing the hollow body into two acoustic chambers, and a connection channel communicating the two acoustic chambers. Said connection channel includes two sub-channels, wherein one of the two sub-channels accommodates, at least partially, the output channel and the other one of the two sub-channels conforms fluid communication between the two acoustic chambers. The acoustic attenuating device further includes at least one blocker disposed between the outer side of the output channel and the inner side of the sub-channel which accommodates the output channel, wherein said blocker is capable of precluding flow between the two acoustic chambers, thereby reducing the amount of lubricating oil which flows out from the compressor into the cooling system.
