Abstract
A scroll compressor has a pair of scroll members which compress a fluid as the fluid moves through pockets created by the scroll members. The fluid moves from a suction pressure zone to a discharge pressure zone. A chamber is defined by one of the scroll members. The chamber is in communication with a pocket located between the suction and discharge pressure zone such that an intermediate pressurized fluid is supplied to the chamber through a fluid passageway. The fluid passageway is designed to allow a large flow from the pocket to the chamber and a small flow from the chamber to the pocket. This dual flow capability reduces the pressure pulsation in the chamber. In one embodiment, a capacity control mechanism is associated with the compressor to vary the capacity of the compressor.
