Abstract
A scroll compressor has a housing enclosing a compressor pump unit which includes an orbiting scroll member and a non-orbiting scroll member. Each of the orbiting and non-orbiting scroll members include a base and a generally spiral wrap extending from the base. The wraps interfit to define compression chambers, with a central-most discharge pressure chamber, and circumferentially spaced intermediate pressure chambers being defined. The base of the non-orbiting scroll includes ports associated with the intermediate pressure chambers. At least one port is associated with the discharge pressure chamber. Valves are associated with each of the ports. A discharge plenum is defined downstream of the ports and valves within the housing. A back pressure chamber is defined behind the base of one of the orbiting and non-orbiting scroll members, and taps a refrigerant from the discharge pressure chamber.
