Abstract
A scroll compressor is provided. The scroll compressor comprises: a first compression part comprising a first stationary scroll and a first orbiting scroll; and a second compression part comprising a second stationary scroll and a second orbiting scroll, wherein at least one of the first compression part and the second compression part may have a capacity variable part equipped therein so as to induce refrigerant discharge from a compression chamber or to induce idling by blocking refrigerant suction in the compression chamber. The above configuration facilitates varying the capacity of the compressor while significantly reducing the capacity variation ratio, thereby increasing the energy efficiency of the compressor and the air conditioner equipped therewith.
