A thrust plate for use in a scroll compressor is described. The thrust plate comprises a disk-shaped body defining a plane and having a first side and a second side, wherein the second side opposes the first side, at least one protrusion extending from the first side, and at least one recess located at the second side, wherein the at least one protrusion and the at least one recess overlap at least partially in a direction perpendicular to the plane. Further, a system is described, wherein the system comprises a thrust plate with at least one protrusion and an orbiting scroll plate with at least one recess, wherein the at least one protrusion and the at least one recess overlap. Also, a scroll compressor having either a corresponding thrust plate or a corresponding system is described.

Thrust plate for reducing contact stress in a scroll compressor

A compressor comprises a suction port configured to receive a refrigerant and means for compressing the refrigerant. The means for compressing forms at least one compression chamber, a discharge port configured for discharging the compressed refrigerant from the compressor, and a motor. The means for compressing comprises at least one opening for extracting a portion of the refrigerant from the at least one compression chamber and supplying the extracted portion of the refrigerant to the motor. A method comprises receiving a refrigerant at a suction port of the compressor, compressing the refrigerant in at least one compression chamber formed by a means for compressing of the compressor, discharging the refrigerant from the compressor at a discharge port of the compressor, and extracting a portion of the refrigerant from the at least one compression chamber and supplying the extracted portion of the refrigerant to a motor of the compressor.
