Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1701040A2] A compressor system includes a pair of compressors located in a common shell. A common drive shaft drives both compressors and the drive shaft is powered by a single motor. One or both of the compressors can be equipped with a pulse width modulated capacity control system and a vapor injection system. When one compressor is equipped with these systems, the capacity can be varied between 50% and 110%. When both compressors are equipped with these systems, the capacity can be varied between 0% and 120%. When operating in the reduced capacity mode, a biasing member positions the non-orbiting scroll and an anti-thrust ring (400) positions the orbiting scroll to reduce noise created during the operation of the compressor.
