Abstract:
A hermetic compressor is provided that may include a casing having an inner space, an orbiting scroll provided in the inner space, a non-orbiting scroll engaged with the orbiting scroll to form compression chambers, a high/low pressure dividing plate that divides the inner space into high and low pressure portions, and an overheat preventing unit coupled to a surface of the dividing plate at the high pressure portion, the overheat preventing unit having a communication hole formed through the dividing plate to communicate the high and low pressure portions, and having a valve spaced from the dividing plate by a predetermined interval to selectively open/close the communication hole according to a temperature variation of the high pressure portion, whereby transfer of a refrigerant temperature of the low pressure portion to the overheat preventing unit through the dividing plate may be prevented, and the compressor may be quickly stopped upon being overheated, thereby being protected from damage.

A scroll compressor having a scroll supporter and/or movement limiter is provided. The scroll compressor may include a casing, a main frame fixedly installed within the casing, a first scroll rotatably supported by the main frame, a second scroll supported by the main frame, such that the second scroll is movable in a vertical direction with respect to the first scroll, a guide that guides movement of the second scroll in the vertical direction, while preventing the second scroll from being rotated in an axial direction; and a movement limiter disposed on an inner wall of the casing and separated from the second scroll, the movement limiter being configured to limit a movement distance of the second scroll in an upward direction.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor having a back pressure discharge is provided. The scroll compressor may include a casing, a discharge cover, a main frame, a first scroll supported by the main frame, and a second scroll forming at least a discharge chamber together with the first scroll. The second scroll may include a discharge opening through which an operation fluid may be discharged. The scroll compressor may also include a back pressure chamber assembly fastened to the second scroll with a Efastener, a back pressure discharge opening that communicates with the back pressure chamber, and a discharge path by which the discharge chamber and the discharge space communicate with each other. The scroll compressor may further include a check valve disposed at the back pressure discharge opening to prevent the operation fluid from being introduced into the back pressure chamber.
