Abstract
A scroll compressor includes a housing, a rotary shaft rotatably supported by the housing, a fixed scroll accommodated in the housing and fixed to the housing, an orbiting scroll that orbits as the rotary shaft rotates, a compression chamber defined between the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll, a discharge chamber, and an oil passage. A refrigerant taken in from the outside is compressed in the compression chamber. The refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber is discharged into the discharge chamber. An outer peripheral space connected to the compression chamber is defined between the outer peripheral surface of the fixed scroll and the inner peripheral surface of the housing. Oil separated from the refrigerant discharged into the discharge chamber is guided to the outer peripheral space through the oil passage.
