Abstract: A scroll compressor (10) includes a housing (11) with a stationary scroll member (13) mounted therein and a swivel scroll member (12) positioned in the housing and cooperating with the stationary scroll member to form a compression chamber (16). A thrust bearing has a first bearing ring (40) for attachment to the housing (11) and having a plurality of circular bearing races (42,54), a second bearing ring (45) for attachment to the swivel scroll member (12) and having a plurality of circular bearing races (47,55), and a plurality of balls (56) retained between the rings in associated pairs of the races. The races can have rounded tip (50,51), pointed tip (57,59,60,61,62), plateau (52,53) or flat center (54,55) portions. The first bearing ring (40) can have a thickness (C) different than a thickness (D) of the second earing ring.

Abstract: A plate-fin heat exchanger 10 is disclosed including a plurality of flat tubes 14 interleaved with a plurality of fin members 16. The flat tubes 14 are formed from a plurality of plate members 12. The heat exchanger 10 also includes a plurality of fin members 16 and a pair of fluid manifolds 22, 24. The manifolds 22, 24 are formed as one-piece members having a flange formed between the ends. The flange is brazed directly to the endsheet of the evaporator.
