Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap, and which performs an orbiting motion; and a fixed scroll having a fixed wrap to form a compression chamber including a suction chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber, and a discharge chamber, by being engaged with the orbiting wrap. A wrap thickness of the fixed wrap may be greater than a wrap thickness of the orbiting wrap within a range which forms the suction chamber. With such a configuration, even if the fixed scroll or the orbiting scroll is thermally-expanded, a transformation of the fixed wrap at a suction side may be prevented. This may prevent a gap between the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap at an opposite side to the suction side, thereby enhancing compression efficiency.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a refrigerant discharge flow passage and an oil recovery flow passage that are separated from each other. The scroll compressor further includes a flow passage separation unit configured to separate an intermediate space between a drive portion and a compression portion into an inner space communicating with the refrigerant flow passage and an outer space communicating with the oil flow passage to separate the refrigerant discharge path from the oil recovery path.

Abstract: A scroll compressor may include a first scroll and a second scroll orbiting relative to the first scroll to form compression chambers, a discharge port provided in the first scroll to discharge refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber, a discharge passage formed through the first discharged through the discharge to an upper side of the frame, and a discharge cover coupled to the first scroll and having a space to accommodate end portions of the discharge port and the discharge passage to guide the refrigerant discharged through the discharge port to the discharge passage. A volume of a discharge space defined in the space by the first scroll may be 4.5 or more, obtained by dividing a volume of the discharge space by a total volume of an initial compression chamber among the compression chambers.
