Abstract
A scroll compressor having a cylindric hermetically closed shell, a suction chamber within the shell, a scroll mechanism in the shell, lubrication mist generating elements, a suction gas inlet opening radially into the suction chamber and a deflector plate in overlying relationship with the suction gas inlet and cooperating with the shell to delimit a duct having at least an upper opening feeding suction gas to the scroll mechanism. To uniformly laden the suction chamber with sufficient oil, the upper opening is shaped to deflect suction gas into a region within the suction chamber where an oil mist is generated by the mist generating elements during operation.
