Abstract
Scroll compressors may preferably include a stationary scroll, a drive shaft, a crank shaft coupled to the drive shaft and a bush coupled to the outer surface of the crank shaft. A seal is preferably disposed between the bush and the crank shaft and the seal is elastically deformable in the radial direction of the crank shaft. A movable scroll may be coupled to the crank shaft and disposed adjacent to the stationary scroll. A compression chamber is defined by a space between the stationary scroll and the movable scroll, such that fluid is compressed within the compression chamber when the movable scroll revolves or orbits with respect to the stationary scroll. Further, a discharge port is preferably defined within the movable scroll and adapted to release the compressed fluid to a side that is opposite of the stationary scroll.
