A scroll compressor is provided. The scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll configured to orbit with respect to the fixed scroll and including an orbiting end plate, and a main frame to which the orbiting scroll is coupled to orbit. The scroll compressor includes a compression chamber in which a refrigerant is compressed by the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll, and a first back pressure chamber and a second back pressure chamber provided to communicate with the compression chamber. The first back pressure chamber and the compression chamber communicate with each other through a first flow path. The second back pressure chamber and the compression chamber communicate with each other through a second flow path. A different intermediate back pressure is formed in the first back pressure chamber and the second back pressure chamber.

Scroll compressor having separate flow paths in communication with different back pressure chambers

Provided is a scroll compressor capable of expanding a compression space and accordingly increasing a design volume ratio. The scroll compressor includes: a main body; a fixed scroll fixed inside the main body; an orbiting scroll orbiting the fixed scroll; and a plurality of compressing portions respectively provided in the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll, wherein each compressing portion includes a circular arc portion of which a curvature is constant, a curved portion positioned in an inside of the circular arc portion and spaced a preset distance from the circular arc portion, and a connection portion connecting the circular arc portion to the curved portion, wherein a curvature of the connection portion changes from the first circular arc portion to the second circular arc portion.
