Abstract

A scroll compressor is provided that may have a first sealing portion defined between an inner surface of an orbiting wrap and an outer surface of a non-orbiting wrap facing the inner surface of the orbiting wrap in a radial direction, and a second sealing portion defined between an inner surface of the non-orbiting wrap and an outer surface of the orbiting wrap facing the inner surface of the non-orbiting wrap in the radial direction. Further, sealing surfaces where the wraps facing each other are in surface-contact with each other may be formed on at least one of the first sealing portion or the second sealing portion. This may enlarge a sealing area between side surfaces of the wraps facing each other to suppress or prevent leakage of refrigerant suctioned in a compression chamber, thereby improving indicated efficiency and volumetric efficiency.
