ABSTRACT:
A scroll compressor enclosed in a hermetic shell, wherein part of the volume enclosed by the shell is at suction pressure and part is at discharge pressure. The compressor includes both a stationary and a driven scroll plate, with intermeshed involute wrap elements attached to the plates for defining pockets in which fluid is compressed as a drive shaft connected to the driven plate causes it to orbit relative to the stationary scroll plate. A passage disposed within the driven plate and adjacent its axial center conveys compressed fluid through the plate and into a cavity formed in the end of the drive shaft. Oil entrained in the compressed fluid is thrown radially outward within the cavity, due to centrifugal force, and is thereby separated from the compressed fluid. The oil then flows through an adjacent bearing, and is thrown radially outward, creating a spray that impinges on a seal which abuts the back surface of the driven scroll plate. A drive shaft bearing also receives lubrication as the oil flows back into the reservoir at the bottom of the shell.
