Abstract
A scroll compressor assembly incorporates a separator plate which has a clearance between its outer periphery and an inner periphery of an end cap. In this way, the location of the separator plate along the center axis of the scroll can be adjusted. Further, the separator plate is placed on the center shell prior to attachment of the end cap. Thus, the separator plate need not be welded to the end cap as in the prior art. Problems such as weld splatter thus eliminated.
