COPELAND^® COMPLIANT^® SCROLL COMPRESSORS bring you the smoothest, quietest, most efficient compressor technology ever invented, and it's standard issue on the entire RUUD^® residential air conditioning and heat pump line.

Copeland Compliant Scroll Compressors represent a significant advancement in compressor design, offering higher levels of efficiency and durability. So much so, they have a 10-year warranty on most residental models! Old-fashioned reciprocating compressors use pistons and valves to compress and move gas, but with a scroll compressor, these noisy, high-wear moving parts are eliminated.

SIMPLE OPERATION. Two spiral-shaped members fit together, forming crescent-shaped gas pockets. One member remains stationary, while the other is allowed to orbit around it. Gas is drawn into the outer pocket created by the 2 members, sealing off the open passage. As the spiral motion continues, higher gas pressures are created, forcing the gas through the discharge point at the center of the scroll.

SMOOTH AND QUIET. Several pockets of gas are compressed simultaneously for a quiet, smooth, nearly continuous compression cycle.

RELIABLE. Copeland's Compliant Scroll Compressors use axial compliance to create a continuous seal so the unit actually "wears in" over time to improve its operating characteristics and actually reduce compressor sound.
