Abstract
A scroll compressor having a hybrid wrap is defined to have its wrap origin offset from a drive center of both the orbiting and non-orbiting scroll members. The offset is selected in a direction such that it eliminates extremes in the torque curve relative to shaft rotation. In this way, torque reversal is generally eliminated.
