SUCTION MUFFLER FOR A HERMETICALLY ENCAPSULATED REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR

Suction muffler () for a hermetic refrigeration compressor (), the suction muffler () comprising an inlet (), so that refrigerant can flow into the suction muffler (), and an outlet (), so that refrigerant can flow out from the suction muffler (), the suction muffler () further comprising two damping chambers () for sound damping, where the two damping chambers () each has a floor () and where a wall element () is provided, in order to separate the two damping chambers () from each other for the refrigerant in the region of their floors ( ). In order to guarantee that the damping chambers () are overall as gas-tight and sound-tight as possible, it is provided according to the invention that in the region of the wall element () at least one siphon segment () that connects the two floors is disposed, in order to receive oil () in an operating position of the suction muffler (), where the at least one siphon segment () connects the two damping chambers () in siphon fashion to each other for the oil ().
