Scroll Compressors

How Scroll Compressors Work
The Scroll compressor has one scroll, or spiral, orbiting in a path defined by a matching fixed scroll. The fixed scroll is attached to the compressor body.

The orbiting scroll is coupled to the crankshaft and orbits, rather than rotates. The orbiting motion creates a series of gas pockets traveling between the two scrolls. On the outer portion of the scrolls, the pockets draw in gas, and then move into the center of the scroll, where the gas is discharged. As the gas moves into the increasingly smaller inner pockets, the temperature and pressure increase to the desired discharge pressure.

Better Liquid Handling
Axial and radial compliance allow the scroll members to separate in the presence of liquid refrigerant, thus, providing protection against liquid damage

Greater Efficiency
More efficient over their entire operating range

Improved Sound
Operate at lower sound and vibration levels than traditional compressors

Unmatched Reliability

.70% fewer moving parts
.Ability to start under any system load, without start components
.Easy to service and maintain due to their compact size and lightweight, simple design
.Engineered for optimum performance with today’s chlorine-free refrigerants
.No complex internal suction and discharge valves for quieter operation and higher reliability
