Operation Section

17

• The compressor used for the unit is hermetically sealed. The compressor and the compressor

motor are in one casing.

• The scroll compressor utilizes an involuted spiral which, when matched with a mating scroll

form, generates a series of crescent-shaped gas pockets between the two members. During

compression, one scroll remains stationary (fixed scroll) while the other form (orbiting scroll) is

allowed to orbit (but not rotate) around the first form. As this motion occurs, the pockets between

the two forms are slowly pushed to the center of the two scrolls while simultaneously being

reduced in volume. When the pocket reaches the center of the scroll form, the gas, which is now

at a high pressure, is discharged out of a port located at the center. During compression, several

pockets are being compressed simultaneously, resulting in a very smooth process. Both the

suction process (outer portion of the scroll members) and the discharge process (inner portion)

are continuous.

1) Compression in the scroll is created by the interaction of an orbiting spiral and a stationary spiral.

Gas enters the outer openings as one of the spirals orbits.

2) The open passages are sealed off as gas is drawn into the spiral.

3) As the spiral continues to orbit, the gas is compressed into two increasingly smaller pockets.

4) By the time the gas arrives at the center port, discharge pressure has been reached.

5) Actually, during operation, all six gas passages are in various stages of compression at all times,

resulting in nearly continuous suction and discharge.

< NOTE >

When the compressor shuts off, the compressor motor may run backward for a moment or two

until internal pressures is equalized. This has no effect on compressor durability but may cause

an unexpected sound after the compressor is turned off and should not be diagnosed as a

malfunction.
