Abstract
A scroll compressor is described. The scroll compressor comprises a case having a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side, a stationary scroll plate having a base plate with a first side having at least one projection, which forms a spiral wrap, and a second side having a first annular protrusion, a pilot plate for separating the high-pressure side of the case from the low-pressure side of the case and the pilot plate abutting the second side of the stationary scroll plate, wherein the pilot plate has a first side, wherein the first side faces the second side of the stationary scroll plate and wherein the first side has a second annular protrusion, and a seal, wherein the seal seals a radial gap between the first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion.
