Abstract
Abstract The structure consists in a casing, the interior of which affords a chamber for the compressor and a housing for the motor, separated in fluid-tight fashion by a bulkhead through which a sealed passage is offered to the shaft of the compressor; such a casing also exhibits a set of galleries arranged peripherally around the housing, along which the refrigerant is able to flow and thus keep the motor at a given temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A structure for motor-compressor units used with refrigerant fluids comprising: a casing; a bulkhead, spanning the interior of the casing transversely and, with said casing, forming a chamber on one side thereof, and a motor housing on the other side thereof, wherein both said chamber and said motor housing reside within the casing, said bulkhead forming a sealed barrier between said chamber and said motor housing; a compressor, occupying the chamber and having a shaft, the shaft of which passes thru the bulkhead in a fluid-tight fit; a motor, mounted internally of the housing; at least one gallery, incorporated into the casing, which is disposed peripherally in relation to the motor housing and communicates with the chamber occupied by the compressor, said gallery being sealed with respect to said motor housing; and removable coupling means serving to connect the compressor shaft with the motor and enable operation of the unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
