Abstract
A discharge muffler (20) in an HVAC&R system (100) includes a plurality of tubes (34, 38, 42) of predetermined length that are disposed at a predetermined spacing in substantially mutual axial alignment by a plate (30). The tubes (34, 38, 42) are secured adjacent to a compressor discharge (24) to minimize pressure reduction, improve flow characteristics and improve efficiency of the HVAC&R system (100).
