Abstract: A scroll compressor having a housing composed of multiple sub-housings (12, 14, 16), comprising a motor sub-housing which is equipped with a drive motor with a stator fixed to the housing and a coaxial rotor fixed to a main shaft mounted on one side of the stator by a first main shaft bearing; a bearing sub-housing that adjoins the motor sub-housing on the side facing away from the first main shaft bearing and supports a second main shaft bearing and an orbital guide of a first scroll-type displacement device, which is eccentrically connected to the main shaft and orbits during a rotation of the main shaft and into which a second scroll-type displacement device fixed to the housing engages axially; and a housing cover which adjoins the bearing sub-housing and terminates the housing. The second scroll-type displacement device is directly connected to the bearing sub-housing.

Abstract: A compressor housing has a housing body that is embodied so as to be open at two opposing end faces of the housing body, and a base element which closes one of the two open end faces of the housing body in an assembled state of the compressor housing, the base element being frictionally secured in the assembled state with its outer peripheral surface against an inner peripheral surface of the housing body by means of an interference fit.
