Scroll compressor with movable non-orbiting scroll

A scroll compressor, comprising:

• a partition plate that divides an inside of a hermetic container into a high-pressure space and a low-pressure space;
• a non-orbiting scroll provided in the low-pressure space and positioned adjacent to the partition plate;
• an orbiting scroll that engages the non-orbiting scroll and defines a compression chamber that is formed between the orbiting scroll and the non-orbiting scroll;
• a rotating shaft that causes the orbiting scroll to orbit;
• a main bearing that supports the orbiting scroll;
• a columnar member that is inserted to make a receiver of the non-orbiting scroll movable and is supported by the main bearing;
• and
• an elastic body that is provided between the main bearing and the non-orbiting scroll and biases the non-orbiting scroll away from the orbiting scroll,
• wherein the non-orbiting scroll biased by the elastic body is movable between the partition plate and the main bearing in an axial direction of the rotating shaft,
• the non-orbiting scroll includes a first end plate and a first spiral body that stands on the first end plate,
• the orbiting scroll includes a second end plate and a second spiral body that stands on the second end plate and engages the first spiral body, and
• a ratio of a gap between an end of the first spiral body and the second end plate to a height of the second spiral body is at least 0.005 and less than 0.1 when the scroll compressor is not in operation.
