A scroll compressor includes a stationary scroll member accommodated in a closed housing and having a stationary end plate and a stationary scroll wrap protruding axially from the stationary end plate, and also includes an orbiting scroll member accommodated in the closed housing and having an orbiting end plate and an orbiting scroll wrap protruding axially from the orbiting end plate so as to engage with the stationary scroll wrap to define a plurality of working pockets therebetween. A volume ratio indicating a ratio of the volume of the working pockets at an end of suction to that at an end of compression is set to be smaller than a value corresponding to a compression ratio determined by an evaporation pressure and a condensation pressure at a performance half a rated performance during heating.
