  • Scroll device with an integrated cooling loop
    Patent number: 11885328
    Abstract: A scroll device has a fixed scroll, and orbiting scroll, and at least an integrated cooling loop configured to receive coolant to cool the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll. A flexible conduit is provided that curves radially around an orbital axis of the orbiting scroll to transfer coolant along integrated cooling loop. The integrated cooling loop separates coolant used to cool the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll from the involutes of the scroll device providing clean operation of the scroll device. The integrated cooling loop may be defined by the flexible conduit, one or more cooling chambers, and/or one or more cooling passageways.

  • Low cost scroll compressor or vacuum pump
    Patent number: 11067080
    Abstract: A low cost scroll device and methods of manufacturing the same are described. The scroll device includes, for example, a drive pin hole and bearing bores machined into a scroll of the scroll device from the same side as the involute of the scroll; idler shaft assemblies with no more than one bearing in the orbiting scroll for mechanically coupling the orbiting scroll to the fixed scroll; and an epoxy coating applied using a process that requires assembly of the scroll device only once.
