Scroll air compressors are not nearly as common as piston air compressors or screw air compressors, but they do come with a whole host of benefits. Here are 5 of the biggest advantages the scroll air compressor has to offer!
Scroll air compressors are generally smaller, lighter, and more compact than most other air compressors on the market today. As a result, they are perfect for applications where floor space is a big concern.
One huge advantage of the scroll compressor is efficiency. It is significantly more energy efficient than other types of compressor, thanks in large part to the absence of pistons. Scroll air compressors are actually able to achieve a very impressive 100% volumetric efficiency rate. The fact that scroll compressors are so energy efficient is great, because it means lower energy bills and less budget strain.
Scroll air compressors have very few moving parts, and none of the parts that do move actually come in contact with each other. As a result, these compressors produce very little noise. In fact, when compared to other compressors (like the reciprocating compressor), they generate about 5-15 fewer decibels.
Since scroll air compressors produce less noise and fewer vibrations than many of their counterparts, they don’t need spring suspensions.
Since scroll air compressors have few moving parts and don’t generate a lot of friction, they are subject to less extreme wear and tear than piston compressors or screw compressors. Consequently, they can have very long service lives.
