Compressor having shutdown valve assembly

A compressor comprising:

• a first scroll having a first end plate and a first spiral wrap extending from the first end plate;
• a second scroll having a second end plate and a second spiral wrap extending from the second end plate and meshing with the first spiral wrap to define fluid pockets therebetween, wherein the second end plate includes a discharge passage and a discharge recess;
• and
• a valve assembly disposed at least partially within the discharge recess and including a valve housing fixed relative to the second scroll, a valve retainer fixed relative to the valve housing, and a valve member movably received in the valve housing,
• wherein:
• the valve member is movable relative to the valve housing and valve retainer between an open position and a closed position,
• when the valve member is in the open position, fluid is allowed to flow through the discharge passage and the valve assembly,
• when the valve member is in the closed position, fluid flow through the discharge passage and the valve assembly is restricted, and
• the valve housing includes a plurality of angled apertures that are angled relative to a direction in which the valve member moves between the open and closed positions, and
• when the valve member is in the open position, the valve member uncovers the angled apertures to allow fluid communication between the discharge passage and an annular gas flow path, wherein the annular gas flow path is defined by and disposed radially between an inner diametrical surface of a hub of the second scroll and an outer diametrical surface of the valve housing.
