A scroll type compressor includes a fixed scroll member and an orbital scroll member disposed within a housing for defining a compression pocket compressing refrigerant gas, an open portion provided on the fixed scroll member at a position corresponding to an intermediate compression stage position of the compression pocket, and a mechanism for discharging refrigerant gas intermediately compressed in the compression pocket out of the compressor through the open portion. The refrigerant gas discharging mechanism includes a gas discharging path formed in the housing itself to communicate the open portion, without providing a particular member. The number of parts for forming a gas discharging route may be decreased, and the structure therefore may be simplified. The assembling ease of the compressor may be greatly improved. An excellent high-efficiency and low-load operation of the compressor may be achieved.

Scroll type compressor

A fluid displacement apparatus includes a housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A suction chamber is formed between one end of the displacement mechanism and the housing and communicates with the fluid inlet port. A discharge chamber is formed between other end of the displacement mechanism and the housing and communicates with the fluid outlet port. A first hollow space is created between a peripheral surface of a driving mechanism and the inner block, and communicates with the suction chamber. A second hollow space is created between the inner block and the housing and communicates with the discharge chamber. A pressure differential regulating device is disposed between the first hollow space and the second hollow space. Accordingly, a sealing mechanism of a driving mechanism achieves superior durability while maintaining the lubrication of a bearing under various operating conditions of the apparatus.
