Scroll Technology – The Future of ACs


One of the most vital components of an air conditioner is its compressor. The compressor works on turning cool air with low pressure into hot air with high pressure in order to maintain the cooling of the area it's installed in. As a consumer, if you're interested in using a compressor that saves energy, has fewer parts, is easy to install and also saves your money, you should consider using scroll technology in your air conditioner or refrigerator.

In a world that's growing hotter by the minute, the importance of a good air conditioning system is undisputed. Choosing an air conditioning system that fits your needs, however, is a harder task than it looks as most consumers are easily swayed by catchy advertisements shown on the television. Apart from looking at features such as design, size, shape and brand, one must conduct some research on the mechanism of the air conditioner or refrigerator in order to make an informed decision. Most of the functioning in an air conditioner is taken care of by the compressor, which not only makes sure that the hot and cool air are well circulated and pressurized, but also that the machine itself suffers no harm.

A compressor that uses scroll technology provides one with various advantages, such as lesser disturbances in terms of noise due to fewer vibrations and the ability to place it almost anywhere due to its compact size. Having lesser parts than any other compressor ensures that there are fewer breakdowns and that there is higher efficiency. While these compressors produce the same amount of cooling as the other standard compressors, they manage to do so while using a lesser amount of energy, thus saving not only on your electrical bills but also contributing to the idea of sustainable development and using resources in a manner that helps preserve the environment. Studies have shown that these compressors reduce the energy usage by 20-60% in a home.

Compressors using scroll technology also have better protection against liquids so in the event of a fluid leak in your air conditioning system or your refrigerator; the mechanism itself will not be harmed.

Scroll technology owes its reliability to the fact that its prototype was invented in the early 1900s, giving the technology ample time to develop and re-develop in order to suit the changing needs of its growing consumer base. The compressor itself is made up essentially of two scrolls, that is, spirals. While one remains stationary, the other rotates inwards in order to create a higher air pressure. As this form of compressors have up to 70% fewer parts than most models of compressors, it gets the job done much faster and better than heavier, bulky models.

Thus, one must make an informed decision when considering buying a new cooling system. When you're going in for an air conditioner or refrigerator and are concerned about factors such as size, efficiency, energy saving and lower price, scroll technology is easily the best option for you.
