Abstract
A scroll compressor is provided with spaced grooves in a base of one of the two scroll members. A recess is formed in a wrap tip of the other scroll member. The recess in the wrap tip bridges a space between the grooves of the other scroll member. This bridging equalizes pressure between two parallel intermediate compression chambers. Pressure equalization between the chambers improves compressor efficiency.
