Description

How They Work

1. Scroll Rotation: The orbiting scroll rotates eccentrically within the fixed scroll, creating a series of crescent-shaped chambers between them.
2. Suction: As the scrolls rotate, these chambers increase in volume, creating a vacuum and drawing the gas into the compressor.
3. Compression: The chambers then decrease in volume, compressing the gas trapped within.
4. Discharge: The compressed gas is discharged from the compressor through an outlet port.

Advantages of Scroll Compressors

• High efficiency: Scroll compressors typically offer high efficiency due to their smooth, continuous operation.
• Quiet operation: Scroll compressors are known for their quiet operation.
• Compact design: They are relatively compact for their capacity.
• Long lifespan: Scroll compressors have a long operational life with proper maintenance.
• Vibration-free: The smooth operation of the scrolls results in minimal vibration.

Applications

• Refrigeration: Widely used in residential and commercial refrigeration systems.
• Air conditioning: Found in both residential and commercial air conditioning systems.
• Heat pumps: Used in heat pump systems for heating and cooling.
• Vacuum pumps: Can be used as vacuum pumps in various applications.
