Abstract

A scroll compressor comprising a fixed scroll, a rotating scroll, a compliant frame for supporting the rotating scroll in an axial direction and a main shaft for driving the rotating scroll in directions of radiuses of the rotating scroll, and a guide frame fixed to a hermetically sealed vessel for supporting the compliant frame in the directions of its radiuses, wherein the rotating scroll is slidable in the axial direction by sliding of the compliant frame on the guide frame; a space is formed between the compliant frame and the guide frame; and a pressure in the space is made to be a pressure higher than a suction pressure and the same as a discharge pressure or less, whereby relief of the rotating scroll is avoidable to quickly and constantly realize a state of normal operation.
