Abstract: A linear compressor includes: a shell including an intake pipe configured to suction a refrigerant, a piston including a piston body, an intake muffler including a first muffler that includes a first muffler body defining a main flow passage and a first muffler flange extending in a radial direction from the first muffler body, and at least one auxiliary flow passage disposed between an outer peripheral surface of the first muffler body and an inner peripheral surface of the piston body and configured to guide the refrigerant remaining between the first muffler body and the piston body to an outside of the piston. A cross-sectional area of the at least one auxiliary flow passage is less than a cross-sectional area of an inlet hole provided at a rear end of the main flow passage and greater than or equal to 10% of the cross-sectional area of the inlet hole.

Abstract: Provided are a discharge plenum integrated with a valve stopper and a linear compressor including the discharge plenum. The valve stopper includes a radial member that extends radially and an axial member that extends axially from a radial inner end of the radial member. The axial member may have a tubular shape. The axial member may define a slot flow path that extends axially. The radial member may include a peripheral hole that extends axially. The radial inner side of the radial member may define a central hole of the axial member. The slot flow path and the peripheral hole may minimize a pressure drop and energy loss of a high-pressure fluid flowing from a compression portion to a discharge portion.

Abstract: A piston for a compressor is disclosed. The piston for the compressor compressing and discharging a refrigerant sucked into a cylinder includes a sliding portion disposed in the cylinder and having a suction space to receive the sucked refrigerant, a head portion coupled to the sliding portion, a compression space being formed at a front of the head portion and the suction space being formed at a rear of the head portion, the head portion comprising a suction port communicating the suction space with the compression space, a press-fit cap coupled to the front of the head portion, the press-fit cap comprising a suction hole connected to the suction port, and a first elastic member disposed between the press-fit cap and the head portion. A gas layer is formed between the head portion, the press-fit cap, and the first elastic member.
