3. Scroll or spiro-orbital compressor

The scroll compressor, originally known as [16] , was invented and patented in the USA in 1905 by the Frenchman Léon Creux, and was further developed in the USA in the 1970s. Its first applications were in small (low-power) air-conditioning systems, in particular by the DWM-Copeland group, then in air-conditioning systems by the Trane company. The main manufacturers of this type of compressor are listed in table 5 .

Regulations

Pressure equipment regulations

In the past, it was defined by a decree of 1943, subsequently revised in 1960. As part of the harmonization of technical regulations, the European Union has issued a Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) (no. 97/23), which becomes the only rule in force in each member state; for France, the transcription is the subject of a decree and order no. 99-1046 of 13/12/1999.
