Description

A Scroll Compressor is also referred to as a Spiral Compressor, a scroll pump or a scroll vacuum pump. The Rotary Spiral Scroll design creates a continual compressed airflow over multiple stages and there is no need for oil lubrication. A scroll compressed air system runs quieter and more smoothly than a reciprocating version because there are only two moving parts – a fixed scroll and an orbital scroll. Fewer parts make the scroll compressor energy-efficient, highly reliable, and less prone to mechanical failure. Compared with a rotary screw compressor, a scroll compressor vibrates less and is almost noiseless. Scroll compression An orbiting (rotating) scroll and fixed scroll housing are mated to create the compression chambers. The continual movement of the orbiting scroll moves atmospheric air from the intake toward the center, compressing the air into progressively smaller areas. The compressed air is directed to the center discharge port of the compressor. Discharge pressure is accomplished during multiple stages of compression, resulting in a continuous intake suction and discharge. High reliability and high quality compressed air Easy operation and easy installation High flexibility Small footprint Energy efficient fully integrated airend design Low maintenance costs
