Abstract
A scroll compressor is provided that can reliably prevent a situation in which a product whose performance is degraded due to misassembly of a tip seal is shipped. In the scroll compressor, tip seals of different lengths are embedded in tip surfaces of a fixed spiral wrap of a fixed scroll and an orbiting spiral wrap of an orbiting scroll. Among the tip seals, thicknesses of the shorter tip seals are made thicker than thicknesses of the longer tip seals, and depths of seal grooves in which the tip seals are embedded, respectively, are formed to different depths in correspondence with the thicknesses of the respective tip seals.
