Abstract
A compact scroll compressor capable of maintaining a high efficiency when driven at variable speeds and operating at variable gas pressures. The compressor incorporates a unique swing-link driving means and means to control the flow of high-pressure fluid from the central high-pressure zone defined by the scroll members. The compressor is particularly suited for operation off an automotive engine to provide compressed refrigerant in an automotive air conditioner.
