Abstract
A discharge housing peripheral wall includes an inner surface that defines an annular passage. The inner surface includes a lower portion located vertically below an axis of a rotary shaft of a scroll compressor. As the annular passage is viewed in the axial direction of the rotary shaft, a region of the annular passage vertically below the fourth straight line is a liquid refrigerant reservoir. The liquid refrigerant reservoir is configured to store liquid refrigerant generated by condensation of refrigerant in the annular passage while limiting suction of the liquid refrigerant from the annular passage into a compression chamber through a second suction hole. The second suction hole is located in a portion of the fixed peripheral wall that is positioned vertically above the liquid refrigerant reservoir.
