compressor casing/compressor box

compressor case/compressor box
个人理解，前者为压缩机本身一部分，后者为包装之用。

: IMO it might be the opposite. 外壳 = outer covering (or casing); shell; case eg 热水瓶外壳 the outer casing of a thermos flask (外研社：汉英词典）

compressor shell/compressor cabinet
压缩机外壳指的是压缩机外面覆盖的材料，例如钢板；而压缩机箱包括外壳和结构在内。
cabinet 和 case 都指箱体，个人感觉cabinet更适合机器。

cocompressor casing/compressor box/housing of compressor
我认为压缩机外壳和压缩机箱应是同一种东西，即压缩机本身的保护装置，而非外包装材料。
