Claim 15:
16. A scroll compressor comprising:
a casing that defines an oil storage space;
a fixed scroll disposed inside the casing;
an orbiting scroll disposed at a first side of the fixed scroll and configured to perform an orbiting motion relative to the fixed scroll, wherein the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll define a compression chamber therebetween;
a main frame disposed opposite to the fixed scroll with the orbiting scroll being disposed between the main frame and the fixed scroll; and
a discharge cover coupled to a second side of the fixed scroll opposite to the first side of the fixed scroll,
wherein at least one of the main frame or the fixed scroll defines a gas drain hole configured to guide gas in the oil storage space to thereby discharge the gas out of the casing,
wherein the discharge cover comprises:
a cover bottom surface that defines a discharge hole in fluid communication with the oil storage space, and
