A
mini compressor for refrigerant, comprising a housing and a scroll compressor including a first compressor body in a stationary position in the housing, and a second compressor body which can move relative to the first compressor body. A drive for the second compressor body has a drive motor. A rear-side cooling chamber is arranged between the rear side of the first compressor body and a partition of the housing, which runs at a spacing from the rear side. At least one aperture in the base of the first compressor body is configured to cool the first
mini compressor body in the region of the rear side. The second compressor body is configured to enable the refrigerant to wash around the compressor body in the region of the rear side, remote from the scroll ribs, to cool the second compressor body.
In the case of a
mini compressor of the type described in the introduction, this object is achieved, in accordance with the invention, by the fact that the refrigerant which is to be compressed by the scroll compressor can wash around the two compressor bodies in the region of their rear side, which is remote from the scroll ribs, so that the
mini compressor bodies can be cooled.
In order also to enable the scroll ribs to be cooled as efficiently as possible via the rear side of the
mini compressor body, it is preferably provided that the rear surface of the respective compressor body is formed directly by a base which carries the respective scroll rib, so that the scroll ribs which are connected to the respective base are also cooled as efficiently as possible.
