Abstract
A compressor includes a particularly shaped discharge valve which extends into the discharge port. The shaped valve includes a convex portion on the seat side of the valve which extends downwardly into the discharge port. The shaped valve furthermore includes a concave portion on the seat side of the valve that begins where the convex portion ends. The beginning of the concave portion on the seat side of the valve is located so as to prevent flow separation of the refrigerant when flowing along the convex portion of the valve as it leaves the compression chamber of the compressor.
