Claim 11:
12. A scroll compressor, comprising:
a casing;
an orbiting scroll coupled to a rotary shaft in an inner space of the casing to perform an orbiting motion;
a non-orbiting scroll engaged with the orbiting scroll to define a compression chamber, and provided with a discharge port and a plurality of bypass holes through which refrigerant in the compression chamber is discharged; and
a back pressure chamber assembly coupled to a rear surface of the non-orbiting scroll to press the non-orbiting scroll toward the orbiting scroll, wherein a block insertion groove is recessed by a predetermined depth into the rear surface of the non-orbiting scroll to accommodate the discharge port and the plurality of bypass holes therein, and a retainer block having at least one bypass valve that opens and closes the plurality of bypass holes is fixedly inserted into the block insertion groove, wherein the at least one bypass valve is fixed to a first axial side surface of the retainer block facing the block insertion groove, wherein a discharge valve that opens and closes the discharge port is disposed between the block insertion groove and the first axial side surface of the retainer block facing the block insertion groove, wherein the discharge valve is fastened to the first axial side surface of the retainer block facing the block insertion groove, wherein a bypass valve support that supports the at least one bypass valve and a discharge valve support that supports the discharge valve are formed on the first axial side surface of the retainer block that faces the block insertion groove, and wherein the discharge valve support is deeper than the bypass valve support.
