Scroll compressors are the quietest, most durable compressors ever developed. Rheem is the only manufacturer that offers the Copeland Compliant Scroll Compressor as standard equipment in every residential air conditioner. 

The Rheem commitment to scroll technology has provided cooling products with higher efficiencies, quieter operation, lower energy costs, greater dependability, and enhanced home comfort for millions of Rheem customers around the world. 

Rheem also installs Copeland Compliant Scroll Compressors in its expanding line of commercial package unit products. 

The technology is based on the concept of compliance. Two scroll members interact to simultaneously achieve high efficiency and durability. This unique and patented approach — achieving both radial and axial compliance — provides important advantages: 

  • Continuous flank contact, maintained by centrifugal force, minimizes gas leakage and maximizes efficiency 
  • Radial compliance allows the scroll members to separate the presence of liquid refrigerant or debris, thereby substantially improving durability and reliability 
  • Axial compliance allows the scroll to remain in continuous contact in all normal operating conditions, ensuring minimal leakage without the use of tip seals 
  • Both radial and axial compliance allow the scroll members to actually "wear in" rather than wear out.
