Scroll compressor

A scroll compressor comprising:

• a partition plate for partitioning an interior of a hermetic container into a high pressure space and a low pressure space;
• a fixed scroll which is adjacent to the partition plate;
• an orbiting scroll which is meshed with the fixed scroll and which forms compression chambers;
• a rotation-restraining member for preventing the orbiting scroll from rotating;
• a main bearing for supporting the orbiting scroll, in which
• the fixed scroll, the orbiting scroll, the rotation-restraining member and the main bearing are placed in the low pressure space,
• the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll are placed between the partition plate and the main bearing, and
• the fixed scroll can move in an axial direction of the fixed scroll between the partition plate and the main bearing, wherein
• an inner wall of a fixed spiral lap of the fixed scroll is formed up to a location close to an ending-end of an orbiting spiral lap of the orbiting scroll, thereby differentiating, from each other, a containment capacity of one of compression chambers formed by the inner wall of the fixed spiral lap and an outer wall of the orbiting spiral lap, and a containment capacity of the other compression chamber formed by an outer wall of the fixed spiral lap and an inner wall of the orbiting spiral lap.
