Abstract
A compressor may include a shell, a compression mechanism, a crankshaft, a bearing support, and a lubricant sump. The compression mechanism may be disposed in the shell and may compress a working fluid. The crankshaft may be disposed at least partially in the shell and may drivingly engage the compression mechanism. The bearing support may rotatably support the crankshaft. The lubricant sump may retain a volume of lubricant and may be disposed between the bearing support and the compression mechanism.
