These quiet, highly efficient compressors use two scroll-shaped elements to compress refrigerant gas in a smooth, continuous fashion. It's the smoothest, quietest, most efficient compressor technology ever invented. The Rheem commitment to the superior value and efficiency of scroll compressors was further demonstrated recently by Rheem when the company began installing Copeland Compliant Scroll Compressors in its expanding line of commercial package unit products. Copeland introduced its first line of Compliant Scroll Compressors in 1987. Rheem Manufacturing Company began installing the advanced compressors into its high efficiency air conditioners in 1988.
Simple operation is the heart of the scroll's success.
As the orbiting element contacts the stationary scroll, gas entering from the outside of the scroll is sealed by crescent-shaped pockets that are formed. Compliance refers to the method in which the two scroll members interact to simultaneously achieve high efficiency and durability.
