scroll compressors

Scroll compressors are a type of device used to compress refrigerant in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. They feature two spiral-shaped components—one fixed and one orbiting—that interlock and create chambers. As the orbiting scroll moves, it gradually reduces the space in these chambers, compressing the refrigerant efficiently with minimal moving parts. This design provides quiet operation, high reliability, and energy efficiency, making scroll compressors popular in modern cooling systems. They are well-suited for compressing gases in environments where space, noise, and energy consumption matter.
