Abstract
A compressor includes a shell, a bearing housing, a compression mechanism and a suction baffle. The shell defines a suction pressure region and a suction gas inlet. The bearing housing is fixed relative to the shell within the suction pressure region. The compression mechanism is located within the shell, supported on the bearing housing and in communication with the suction pressure region. The suction baffle is located within the suction pressure region and includes a main body located radially between the bearing housing and the suction gas inlet, a first tab extending from a first lateral end of the main body, and a second tab extending from the first lateral end of the main body and spaced axially from the first tab to define a first recess between the first and second tabs. The bearing housing defines a first leg extending within the recess.
