Definitions

- the conventional reciprocating compressor (1 ⁇ ) has a compressor-kit, a casing which accommodates the compressor-kit and a damping mechanism for damping vibrations of the compressor-kit.
- the compressor-kit includes: a cylinder block (2 ⁇ ) which has a compression chamber, a cylinder head (3 ⁇ ), a valve assembly which is arranged between the cylinder block (2 ⁇ ) and the cylinder head (3 ⁇ ), a piston head which is reciprocatingly arranged inside the compression chamber, a piston rod which is coupled to the piston head, a crank shaft (4 ⁇ ) which is rotatably arranged into the cylinder block (2 ⁇ ) and eccentrically coupled to the piston rod, a rotor (5 ⁇ ) which is fixed on the crank shaft (4 ⁇ ) and an annular shaped stator (6 ⁇ ) which is arranged coaxially around the rotor (5 ⁇ ) and fixed to the cylinder block (2 ⁇ ).
- the damping mechanism includes four springs (7 ⁇
