Abstract
A compressor may include a compression mechanism and a shell assembly. The shell assembly may include first and second snap rings, a body, and first and second caps cooperating with the body to enclose the compression mechanism therein. The body may include first and second ends and an inner surface extending between both ends. The first cap may be received within the first end and may include a first side wall having a first groove. The second cap may be received within the second end and may include a second side wall having a second groove. The first snap ring may be disposed within the first groove and may engage the first end to restrict removal of the first cap from the body. The second snap ring may be disposed within the second groove and may engage the second end to restrict removal of the second cap from the body.
