An asymmetric scroll compressor includes a compressor housing. An orbiting scroll member and a non-orbiting scroll member disposed within the compressor housing. The orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll member each includes a baseplate and a wrap extending from the baseplate. The orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll member intermeshed to form a plurality of compression pockets. A driveshaft affixed to the orbiting scroll member and configured to orbit the orbiting scroll member from a first orbital position to a second orbital position. A communication port disposed on the baseplate of one of the orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll such that: in the first orbital position, the communication port communicates with a first enclosed pocket of the plurality of compression pockets, and in the second orbital position, the communication port communicates with a second enclosed pocket of the plurality of compression pockets.

A compressor may include first and second scrolls, an axial biasing chamber, and a modulation control valve. The second scroll includes an outer port and an inner port. The outer and inner ports may be open to respective intermediate-pressure compression pockets. The modulation control valve may be in fluid communication with the inner port, the outer port, and the axial biasing chamber. Movement of the modulation control valve into a first position switches the compressor into a reduced-capacity mode and allows fluid communication between the inner port and the axial biasing chamber while preventing fluid communication between the outer port and the axial biasing chamber. Movement of the modulation control valve into a second position switches the compressor into a full-capacity mode and allows fluid communication between the outer port and the axial biasing chamber while preventing fluid communication between the inner port and the axial biasing chamber.

A scroll compressor may include a casing having a low pressure portion and a high pressure portion, a refrigerant suction pipe that communicates with the low pressure portion and a refrigerant discharge pipe that communicates with the high pressure portion, a drive motor installed inside of the low pressure portion, an orbiting scroll coupled to the drive motor to perform an orbiting motion, a non-orbiting scroll engaged with the orbiting scroll to form a compression chamber, and a refrigerant guide provided on the non-orbiting scroll to guide a refrigerant suctioned into the low pressure portion to be suctioned into the compression chamber, whereby an increase in specific volume of refrigerant suctioned into the compression chamber may be suppressed, and thus, an amount of refrigerant suctioned into the compression chamber may increase, thereby improving efficiency of the compressor.
