Fixed scroll of scroll compressor

A compression unit of a scroll compressor comprising:

• a fixed scroll having an involuted wrap to define a compression chamber therein;
• an orbiting scroll configured to be engaged with the fixed scroll to allow gaseous refrigerant, introduced into the compression chamber, to be compressed in accordance with an orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll;
• a mounting flange formed around a lower end of the fixed scroll to be arranged on an upper surface of a main frame;
• and
• an interceptive suction portion formed at the fixed scroll to guide the gaseous refrigerant, that is upwardly directed along the main frame, into the compression chamber.

A scroll compressor comprising:

• a sealed shell provided with a suction pipe and a discharge pipe;
• a crankshaft arranged in the shell while being supported by main and sub frames;
• a compression unit coupled to the crankshaft and adapted to compress gaseous refrigerant that is suctioned via the suction pipe;
• and
• an interceptive suction portion formed at the compression unit to allow the suctioned gaseous refrigerant to strike a suction baffle formed at the main frame to thereby be partially introduced into a compression chamber defined in the compression unit.
