Compression Part

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Kia Soul EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

One of the scrolls is fixed while the other orbits eccentrically without self-rotating, thereby to trap and pump refrigerant in the pockets between the scrolls.
