A vacuum preventing device of a scroll compressor includes: a chamber formed
at
one side of a fixed scroll and having a suction pressure hole, a middle pressure
hole and a discharge pressure hole communicating with a suction pressure zone,
a middle pressure zone and a discharge pressure zone, each formed at a certain
portion of an inner circumferential surface; an open and shut member installed
inside the chamber and selectively communicating the discharge pressure hole and
the suction pressure hole by virtue of a gas pressure of the middle pressure zone
and an elastic force of a spring; and a gas leakage preventing unit for preventing
a gas leakage in a normal operation by reducing a clearance between an inner wall
of the chamber positioned at the side of the discharge pressure hole and the open
and shut member.
