Abstract
A scroll compressor is provided that may include an orbiting scroll, a non-orbiting scroll, a back pressure chamber assembly, a back pressure passage, and a flow resistance portion. The back pressure passage may provide communication between a compression chamber and a back pressure chamber, and the flow resistance portion may be disposed at a middle portion of the back pressure passage to reduce an amount of refrigerant flowing through the back pressure passage. This may reduce a substantial cross-sectional area of the back pressure passage while improving machining of the back pressure passage, thereby decreasing an amount of refrigerant flowing between the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber. Accordingly, pressure pulsation in the back pressure chamber may be lowered and sealing stability between the orbiting scroll and the non-orbiting scroll may be enhanced, thereby improving compression performance.
