This scroll compressor includes a closed container, a scroll compression unit (3) including a first fixed scroll (4) having a first fixed base plate (8) and a first fixed spiral wrap partially delimiting a first refrigerant inlet passage (P1), and an orbiting scroll arrangement (7) including a first orbiting spiral wrap (14), the first fixed spiral wrap and the first orbiting spiral wrap (14) forming a plurality of first compression chambers. The scroll compressor further includes a drive shaft adapted for driving the orbiting scroll arrangement (7) in an orbital movement, and a refrigerant suction duct (19) suitable for supplying the scroll compression unit (3) with refrigerant to be compressed. The refrigerant suction duct (19) includes a refrigerant supplying portion (19c) oriented towards the first refrigerant inlet passage (P1) and configured to conduct, in use, at least a part of the refrigerant suctioned in the refrigerant suction duct (19) towards the first refrigerant inlet passage (P1 ).
Abstract:
The scroll compressor (1) includes an orbiting scroll arrangement (7), and a drive shaft (18) configured to drive the orbiting scroll arrangement (7) in an orbital movement, the drive shaft (18) including a lubrication channel (32) and a first lubrication hole (35) fluidly connected to the lubrication channel (32) and emerging in an outer wall of the drive shaft (18). The scroll compressor (1 ) further includes a first and a second bearings (38, 39) axially offset along a rotation axis of the drive shaft (18) and each configured to engage the drive shaft (18). The first and second bearings (38, 39) and the drive shaft (18) partially define a first annular gap (44) in which emerges the first lubrication hole (35). The first bearing (38) and the drive shaft (18) define a first oil recess fluidly connected to the first annular gap (44), and the second bearing (39) and the drive shaft (18) define a second oil recess fluidly connected to the first annular gap (44).
