    Abstract: A compressor (20) comprises: a housing assembly (22) having a plurality of ports including a suction port (24) and a discharge port (26); a male rotor (30) mounted for rotation about an axis (500); a female rotor (32) enmeshed with the male rotor and mounted in the housing for rotation about an axis (502) for drawing a flow from the e suction port, compressing the flow, and discharging the compressed flow through the discharge port. The housing assembly comprises: a motor case (54); and a cover (60) bearing the suction port. The cover comprises a unitary piece forming: a mounting portion (63) mounted to an adjacent end (55) of the motor case, said adjacent end being large enough to pass the motor; and a fitting portion (62) extending to a rim (66) at the suction port and bearing an external groove (200).
