Higher Efficiency

Scroll compressors have higher volumetric efficiency (89-94%) than reciprocating compressors (58-66%). This means oil-less scroll compressors can supply more air than reciprocating compressors.

A standard scroll compressor has the same mechanical efficiency as a rotary compressor. But scroll compressors perform better than rotary compressors.

Energy Saving Capability

A scroll compressor consumes almost 25% less power than other air compressors. But it has a 5% higher cooling capacity. The compression mechanism of a scroll compressor helps to reduce power consumption. There are fewer moving parts in a scroll compressor, making the compressor more energy efficient.

Quiet Operation

The unique operation principle and design of a scroll compressor result in less torque variation. This makes a scroll compressor quieter than most other oil-free air compressors.

Free of Contamination

As there is no need for oil lubrication in an oil-less scroll compressor, it provides clean/uncontaminated air. The oil-free feature also eases the maintenance process of the compressor.

Great Durability and Reliability

Scroll compressors have fewer moving parts than other types of air compressors. Lesser moving parts decrease the chance of failure. For this reason, a scroll compressor is much reliable than a reciprocating compressor.
