Abstract
There is disclosed herein a refrigeration compressor having an induction system which includes a conduit for directing suction gas to the compressor and an associated muffler designed to attenuate noise generated by the suction process while still allowing relatively unrestricted flow through the conduit. In one form the conduit and associated suction muffler are integrally formed from a suitable plastic composition as a two piece assembly with the associated muffler being in the form of an elongated chamber overlying an opening in the conduit and arranged in longitudinally parallel relationship thereto.
