Abstract

Disclosed herein is a scroll compressor in which refrigerant is compressed in a compression chamber while the volume of the compression chamber is gradually decreased due to relative rotation of a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll. In accordance with the disclosure, the scroll compressor is provided in which a pressure in a back-pressure chamber is managed in connection with a discharge refrigerant pressure so that the orbiting scroll is supported by the pressure in the back-pressure chamber without a power loss or an inner leak in an overall pressure section of a scroll.
