Scroll compressors use a stationary scroll and an orbiting scroll to compress refrigerant. As the orbiting scroll moves, refrigerant is drawn into the outer edges of the scroll assembly and forced through progressively smaller chambers toward the discharge outlet.
DAC Worldwide’s Hermetic Scroll Refrigeration Compressor Cutaway (373-130) is an expertly sectioned example of a common fractional-horsepower scroll-type refrigeration compressor. Both the sealed steel shell and internal compressor assembly are cut away, providing visibility into components that are normally inaccessible.
The full-size industrial component supports practical training in scroll compressor construction, operating principles, component identification, system design, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance.
Carefully planned cutaway areas reveal the compressor’s internal motor, scroll compression mechanism, refrigerant passages, and supporting components. Learners can examine how the stationary and orbiting scrolls work together to compress refrigerant with fewer moving parts than a conventional reciprocating compressor.
Selected components can be removed or disassembled for closer inspection. Cutaway surfaces and component details are painted and color-coded to make internal geometry and operating relationships easier to understand.
Learners can use the cutaway to:
The cutaway is an instructional demonstration aid and is not intended for operational refrigeration-system use.
The compressor is cleaned, primed, professionally sectioned, and painted using a high-endurance urethane coating. This durable finish helps the cutaway withstand frequent use in HVAC/R classrooms and laboratories.
The component is mounted on a formed-steel, powder-coated baseplate assembly. It can be used for benchtop demonstrations or mounted on compatible DAC Worldwide display, storage, and workstation products.
