Abstract
A scroll compressor is provided. The scroll compressor may include a valve and a valve spring accommodated in a housing as one module, and the housing may be directly coupled to a fixed scroll. This may simplify assembly processes of the scroll compressor. Further, a sealing recess that communicates with a middle pressure chamber may be formed at the housing, thereby forming a damping space between a high pressure space and a low pressure space. This may prevent lowering of performance of the scroll compressor due to leakage of refrigerant inside the high pressure space to the low pressure space in a normal driving mode.
