SCROLL COMPRESSOR WITH OIL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A compressor comprising:
- a shell;
a main bearing housing disposed within said shell;
a driveshaft supported by said main bearing housing;
a non-orbiting scroll member coupled to said main bearing housing and including a first lubricant supply path, said first lubricant supply path in fluid communication with a lubricant source; and
an orbiting scroll member rotatably coupled to said driveshaft and meshingly engaged with said non-orbiting scroll member, said orbiting scroll member having a recess formed therein that is moved between a first position in fluid communication with said first lubricant supply path and a second position fluidly isolated from said first lubricant supply path.

Abstract
A compressor (10) is provided and may include a shell (12), a main bearing housing (18) disposed within the shell (12), a driveshaft (16), a non-orbiting scroll member (24), and an orbiting scroll member (22). The driveshaft (16) may be supported by the main bearing housing (18). The non-orbiting scroll member (24) may be coupled to the main bearing housing (18) and may include a first lubricant supply path in fluid communication with a lubricant source. The orbiting scroll member (22) may be rotatably coupled to the driveshaft (16) and may be meshingly engaged with the non-orbiting scroll member (24). The orbiting scroll member (22) may include a recess (96) that is moved between a first position in fluid communication with the first lubricant supply path and a second position fluidly isolated from the first lubricant supply path.
