Abstract
Replace the abstract in the instant application with the following abstract: A compressor has a reciprocating piston operating in a working area to compress the working medium, a drive unit for the reciprocating movement of the piston, and an intake and discharge device for supplying and expelling the working medium. The liner, in which the piston reciprocates, is manufactured as one piece with a valve plate. Further, the slider crank mechanism used to drive the piston is provided as a drive unit. As a result, the size of the compressor can be substantially reduced, virtually vibration-free motion is achieved, and the compressor reliability is appreciably enhanced.
