A compressor may include first and second scrolls, and a shutdown assembly. The first and second scrolls have first and second spiral wraps, respectively. The second scroll includes a discharge passage that receives compressed working fluid from a pocket defined by the first and second spiral wraps. The shutdown assembly may include a valve housing and a valve member. The valve housing may include a first aperture that receives working fluid from the discharge passage. The valve member may include a valve stem and a valve head. The valve stem may be movably received in a second aperture of the valve housing and has a smaller diameter than a diameter of the valve head. The valve member may be movable between a closed position in which the valve head restricts flow through the discharge passage and an open position in which the valve head allows flow through the discharge passage.

Compressor with shutdown assembly

A compressor includes a shell assembly, a compression mechanism and a conduit. The shell assembly defines a chamber. The compression mechanism is disposed within the chamber of the shell assembly and includes a first scroll member and a second scroll member in meshing engagement with each other. The second scroll member includes a suction inlet. The conduit directs working fluid into the suction inlet and includes a first end defining an inlet opening and a second end defining an outlet opening adjacent to the suction inlet. The second end includes a locating pin that extends outwardly therefrom.
