Abstract (en)
A scroll-type hermetic compressor is disclosed including a hermetically sealed housing (12), fixed and orbiting scroll members (48, 50), a stationary frame member (52) including a thrust surface (55) adjacent the orbiting scroll member bottom surface (51), and a crankshaft (32) drivingly coupled to the orbiting scroll member. A seal (158) extends from a fixed location on the orbiting scroll member bottom surface toward the thrust surface and slidingly seals thereagainst, whereby fixed radially inner and outer portions (154, 156) of the scroll member are defined which are exposed to discharge and suction pressures (110, 98) for axial compliance. The seal consists of an annular groove (152) on the orbiting scroll member bottom surface in which an annular seal element (158) is unattachedly retained. The groove may be supplied with pressurized oil to aid in sealing with the seal element or, alternatively, to provide a hydrostatic seal without a seal element.
