Scroll Compressors
Scroll compressors use interleaved fixed and orbiting spirals. Gas enters outer pockets and is compressed as the pockets move inward and shrink.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A scroll compressor (also called spiral compressor, scroll pump and scroll vacuum pump) is a type of (usually) oil-free orbiting displacement compressor, i.e. it compresses a specific amount of air into a continuously decreasing volume. The compressor element consists of a stator spiral fixed in a housing and a motor-driven eccentric, orbiting spiral. The spirals are mounted with 180° phase displacement to form air pockets with a gradually varying volume. This provides the scroll elements with radial stability. Leakage is minimized because the pressure difference in the air pockets is lower than the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet. The orbiting spiral is driven by a short-stroke crankshaft and runs eccentrically around the center of the fixed spiral. The inlet is situated at the top of the element housing.
It is used in Air Conditioning equipment, as an automobile supercharger (where it is known as a scroll-type supercharger) and as a vacuum pump. Many Air Conditioning central Heat Pump and Air Conditioning systems and a few automotive Air Conditioning systems employ a scroll compressor instead of the more traditional rotary, reciprocating, and wobble-plate compressors.
Sealing interfaces, cooling and discharge conditions determine the accepted compression duty. Refrigerant and compressed-air products use the same broad mechanism within different systems and material requirements.
What turns activity into demand
Similar spiral mechanisms support different equipment markets. Compare application and supplied scope before using a single average price. Separate compressor units from air-treatment packages and refrigeration assemblies. Scroll geometry alone does not define the application.
The commercial boundary
Separate compressor units from air-treatment packages and refrigeration assemblies. Scroll geometry alone does not define the application.
