    Abstract: A compressor may include a shell assembly, a first scroll, a second scroll, a piston, and a piston-retention member. The piston engages the first scroll and may be partially received within a recess defined by the shell assembly. The piston and the shell assembly may cooperate to define a pressure chamber. The pressure chamber may be in selective fluid communication with a source of working fluid to control movement of the piston relative to the shell assembly. The piston-retention member may be mounted to the piston and selectively engage a rotationally fixed structure. The piston-retention member allows rotation of the piston relative to the first scroll in a first rotational direction and restricts rotation of the piston relative to the first scroll in a second rotational direction.

    Abstract: A compressor includes a shell, first and second scroll members, a fitting assembly and a valve assembly. The first scroll member includes a first end plate having a first spiral wrap extending therefrom. The second scroll member includes a second end plate having a second spiral wrap extending therefrom and an injection passage formed in the second end plate. The second spiral wrap is meshingly engaged with the first spiral wrap to form compression pockets. The injection passage is in fluid communication with the compression pockets. The fitting assembly is in fluid communication with the injection passage. The valve assembly coupled to one of the second scroll member and the fitting assembly and movable between a closed position in which fluid communication between the compression pockets and the suction chamber is prevented and an open position in which fluid communication between the compression pockets and the suction chamber is allowed.

    Abstract: A compressor includes a shell, a first scroll member, a second scroll member and a sealing assembly. The shell defines a first pressure region and a second pressure region. The first scroll member is disposed within the shell and includes a first end plate and a first scroll wrap. The second scroll member includes a second end plate and a second scroll wrap. The second scroll wrap meshingly engages the first scroll wrap to define a compression chamber therebetween. The seal assembly fluidly separates the first and second pressure regions from each other. The seal assembly includes a first plate, a second plate, a sealing member. The sealing member is sealingly engaged with the first plate and the second plate.
