Abstract
The present invention is for the retention of a heat shield for a scroll compressor. In one embodiment, the heat shield is deformed into a position such that it rests in a groove located in the non-orbiting scroll. In another embodiment the housing end cap deforms the heat shield. The deformed position of the heat shield prevents flexing and vibrating found in heat shields of prior art. In addition the heat shield must have holes in it to allow for the discharge valve to pass through. The present invention is to put slots in the heat shield, thus preventing the need for exact alignment of the heat shield in position.
