Abstract
A scroll compressor having a scroll wall arrangement with a fixed scroll having fixed scroll walls and an orbiting scroll having orbiting scroll wall, an inlet at a radially outer portion and an outlet at a radially central portion, a first flow path defined by the orbiting and fixed scroll walls and extending from the inlet to the outlet, gas entering through inlet at a pressure and exhausting through outlet at a second pressure higher than the first pressure. Scroll wall arrangement having a second inlet through which gas enters at a third pressure and follows a second fluid path where it is exhausted through the outlet at the second pressure to form two flow paths having respective inlets.
