Abstract
A scroll compressorcomprises: housing, orbiting scrolland fixed scroll. The drive shafthas an eccentric shaft portionso that rotation of the eccentric shaft portion imparts an orbiting motion to the orbiting scroll relative to the fixed scroll. Axial spacersare located between the fixed scroll and the housing for spacing the fixed scroll relative to the orbiting scroll. When the scroll compressoris assembled and tested and it is desired to perform shimming, the fixed scroll can be removed and a selected spacer placed in position prior to re-assembling the fixed scroll.
