Abstract
Scroll compressors having a non-orbiting scroll the type that moves axially for a limited distance are provided with an economizer fluid tube. The economizer tube is received within an opening in the non-orbiting scroll such that the non-orbiting scroll can move relative to the tube. This is an improvement over the prior art, and provides a more secure and simple connection.
