Abstract
A scroll compressor that includes a shell and scroll compressor bodies disposed in the shell. The scroll bodies include a first scroll body and a second scroll body, where the first and second scroll bodies have respective bases and respective scroll ribs that project from the respective bases. The scroll ribs are configured to mutually engage, and the second scroll body is movable relative to the first scroll body for compressing fluid. A pilot ring engages a perimeter surface of the first scroll body to limit movement of the first scroll body in the radial direction. Further, the shell includes different inner diameters to facilitate press fitting a motor into the shell where the motor includes lubricant flow passages.
