ABSTRACT:
A scroll compressor is mounted at an angle between vertical and horizontal. In this way, the overall height of the compressor is reduced compared to a vertical compressor. Thus, when only a smaller vertical size is available for mounting, the compressor will be useable. On the other hand, if the compressor were mounted directly horizontally, problems would arise with regard to providing proper lubrication. Since the compressor housing is angled, oil collects at an end of the housing remote from the pump unit. An oil delivery system is also provided including an oil slinger to deliver oil into an oil reservoir. An oil pickup tube associated with the shaft is received in the oil reservoir and delivers lubricant to locations along the shaft as needed.
