Abstract
A scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll and a movable scroll. The fixed scroll has a spiral fixed-side wrap positioned upright on a surface of a fixed-side plate. The movable scroll is orbitably disposed to face the fixed scroll. The movable scroll has a spiral movable-side wrap positioned upright on a surface of a movable-side plate, with the movable-side wrap being configured to mesh with the fixed-side wrap. A side clearance is formed between a side surface of the fixed-side wrap and a side surface of the movable-side wrap so as to increase from an outer peripheral side toward an inner peripheral side of each of the wraps.
