Abstract: A scroll compressor including an improved fixed scroll member, and in particular, an improved discharge port in the fixed scroll member. In one embodiment, a discharge port extends through the fixed scroll member and includes at least two sections defining different cross sectional shapes or profiles. A first section of the discharge port is in direct fluid communication with the high pressure working pocket between the scrolls, and includes a profile that decreases the stress loading and the stress concentration in the fixed scroll member. A second section of the discharge port includes a profile that improves the flow of working fluid through the discharge port and is shaped for cooperation with the discharge valve assembly.
