Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1574715A1] Refrigerant gas undergoing compression is extracted from the compression chamber (1d) and introduced into a closed frame space (15f) formed by disposing two sealing materials (16c,16d) respectively on two cylindrical (or flat) surfaces formed by a compliant frame (3), supporting the oscillating scroll (2), and a guide frame (15) supporting the compliant frame (3). The pressure in the frame space (15f) is 1.2 to 2 times the suction pressure of the compressor.
