Abstract
A horizontal scroll-type compressor utilizes the pressure differential between the discharge pressure and the suction pressure to route lubricant from the discharge chamber to the components within the intake chamber. The compressor may utilize a lubricant separator within the discharge chamber to separate the working fluid from the lubricant prior to the working fluid exiting the compressor. The compressor may use an internal passageway that extends from the discharge chamber to a position adjacent the crankshaft to provide lubricant to the internal lubricant passage within the crankshaft.
