Abstract

A compressor assembly having an air ducting shroud that can direct a cooling air stream from a fan to components of the compressor assembly, such as a pump assembly. The pump assembly can have at least a pump, a motor and a fan. The compressor can be cooled by providing cooling air to a cylinder head of the pump without the cooling air experiencing choking or substantial cooling flow interference from a cooling of the motor.
