A scroll device includes a fixed scroll with a first involute and a first cooling chamber; an orbiting scroll with a second involute and a second cooling chamber, the orbiting scroll mounted to the fixed scroll via a mechanical coupling, the orbiting scroll configured to orbit relative to the fixed scroll around an orbital axis; a flexible conduit in fluid communication with the first cooling chamber and the second cooling chamber, the flexible conduit extending around the orbital axis from a first side of the scroll device to a second side of the scroll device; and an integrated aftercooler.

A scroll compressor is provided in which one of a fixed scroll or an orbiting scroll is provided with at least one guide groove, and the other is provided with a self-rotation prevention member inserted into the at least one guide groove to revolve in the at least one guide groove and configured to prevent self-rotation of the orbiting scroll.

There is provided a co-rotating scroll compressor in which a driving-side scroll member including a spiral wall between facing end plates can be manufacturable at low cost. A driving-side scroll member (70) includes a first driving-side scroll portion (71), a second driving-side scroll portion (72), and a bolt (31). The first driving-side scroll portion (71) includes a first driving-side end plate (71a) and a first driving-side wall (71b), and is driven by a motor (5). The second driving-side scroll portion (72) includes a second driving-side end plate (72a) and a second driving-side wall (72b). The bolt (31) performs fixing while a front end in a rotation axis direction of the first driving-side wall (71b) and a front end in the rotation axis direction of the second driving-side wall (72b) face each other.

A bearing housing drain in a scroll compressor and method for controlling lubrication of a thrust bearing in the scroll compressor are disclosed. The compressor includes a compressor housing; a non-orbiting scroll member and an orbiting scroll member; an orbiting scroll hub having an upper end and a lower end, the lower end being disposed at a vertical elevation that is lower than the upper end; a thrust bearing; a lubricant sump; a housing drain cavity disposed within the compressor housing and configured to receive lubricant from the lubricant sump and to deliver the lubricant to the thrust bearing; and a bearing housing drain fluidly connected to the housing drain cavity and the lubricant sump.

A scroll compressor includes an orbiting scroll including an end plate and a spiral element on the end plate, a fixed scroll including an end plate and a spiral element on the end plate, and an Oldham ring including a support. The scroll compressor satisfies a relation of 1>2, where 1 denotes each of the axial length of a gap between the tip of the spiral element of the orbiting scroll and the end plate of the fixed scroll and a gap between the tip of the spiral element of the fixed scroll and the end plate of the orbiting scroll, and 2 denotes the axial length of a gap between the end plate of the orbiting scroll and the support of the Oldham ring.

The scroll compressor (2) comprises a hermetic enclosure (3) comprising a midshell (4), an upper cap (5) and a baseplate (6), the baseplate (6) comprising a mounting base (32) having a plate shape and including a central opening (33), and a central cap (28) arranged within the central opening (33), the central cap (28) comprising a concave portion (29) and a first cylindrical rim portion (30) extending upwardly and having an outer diameter substantially corresponding to an inner diameter of the midshell (4); a compression unit (11) configured to compress refrigerant; and an electric motor (21) configured to drive the compression unit (11) via a drive shaft (19). The mounting base (32) comprises a second cylindrical rim portion (34) extending upwardly and surrounding the central opening (33), wherein an inner diameter of the second cylindrical rim portion (34) substantially corresponds to the inner diameter of the midshell (4) and to an outer diameter of the first cylindrical rim portion (30).

A scroll compressor includes an orbiting scroll and a fixed scroll. The orbiting scroll has a disk-shaped orbiting end plate and a spiral wall-shaped orbiting lap protruding from a front surface of the orbiting end plate. The fixed scroll has a spiral wall-shaped fixed lap meshing with the orbiting lap. The orbiting end plate is provided with a rear concave portion that opens in a rear surface of the orbiting end plate and extends along a winding finish portion of the orbiting lap.

A mutual rotating scroll compressor includes: a first frame fixed to a casing; a second frame provided with an interval between the first frame and the second frame, a compression space being provided between the first frame and the second frame; a first scroll rotatably supported by the first frame and coupled to a driving motor to rotate in the compression space; a second scroll engaged with the first scroll to rotate about the second frame, the second scroll and the first scroll forming a compression chamber in the compression space; and a bearing housing including a housing part, including a boss accommodation part to which the second scroll is rotatably coupled, and a hinge lug which extends from the housing part and is movably coupled to the second frame.

A scroll compressor with a first valve having a first surface to open/close between a first path and a second path; a back pressure chamber assembly or non-orbiting scroll having a third path through which a first pressure refrigerant flows, a fourth path through which refrigerant of a second pressure lower than the first pressure flows, and one end in communication with the third and fourth paths and the other end having a fifth path in communication with a second surface of the first valve; and a second valve provided where the third, fourth, and fifth paths meet and moveable between first and second positions, wherein at the first position the third and fifth paths communicate to supply the first pressure refrigerant toward the second surface, and at the second position the fourth and fifth paths communicate to supply the second pressure refrigerant toward the second surface.

A compressor is provided and may include a shell, a hub, an insert, and at least one collar. The hub may be disposed within the shell and define an axis of rotation. The hub may include an axially extending aperture. The insert may be disposed within the aperture. The at least one collar may be disposed about the hub.
