ABSTRACT:
An oil diverting unit, incorporated in a compressor housing of a refrigerant compressor for a climate control system of an automobile, cooperating with a shaft seal unit mounted on a drive shaft of the compressor, so as to divert a flow of the lubricating oil which was suspended in the refrigerant gas and has leaked out of the interior of the compressor housing, to thereby prevent the lubricating oil from reaching a solenoid clutch mounted on a front portion of the drive shaft of the compressor. The oil diverting unit has an oil blocking plate member made of elastic material so that the plate member is elastically press-fitted in the compressor housing so as to define an oil dam for holding the lubricating oil and permitting the oil to be drained from the dam through a drain passageway toward the exterior of the compressor housing.
