Scroll Compression Process
Phase I
Suction process is completed, and fluid is sealed off in the intake pockets and scroll compression begins..
Phase II
Compression in progress.
Phase III
Scroll orbits continuously, compression pockets move toward center and discharge is about to begin.
Phase IV
Compression pockets move to scroll center, and compressed fluid discharges from a discharge port.

Operation of A Floating Scroll Compressor
The Scroll Labs Oil-free Floating Scroll
The Oil-Free Floating Scroll system is a fully compliant mechanism, suitable for both single-pair and dual-pair scrolls. It minimizes frictional wear while maintaining complete sealing contacts between scrolls by allowing the scrolls to operate in near complete dynamic balance of force. In other words, the orbiting scrolls “float” during operation, and maintain very light contact against the fixed scrolls. This mechanism keeps orbiting scrolls contacting fixed scrolls radially and axially during the compression process.
