Scroll compressor / spiral compressor / scroll pump - How it works! (Animation)

3-Second Blueprint (English)

1. An orbiting Archimedean spiral meshes inside a stationary scroll, trapping intake gas in outer pockets and sweeping it toward the center.
2. Progressive chamber volume reduction achieves smooth internal compression before gas exits the central discharge port via a check valve.
3. Gas-pressurized floating axial tip seals minimize leakage with very few moving parts, yielding quiet, reliable HVAC and heat-pump performance.
