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.
