Scroll compressor using a slide bushing type radial compliant crank mechanism is modelled, and it's dynamic behaviour characteristics are analyzed. Sealing forces generated in the flank surfaces of the orbiting scroll depending on the distance, e, from slide bushing center to crank pin center are calculated. From the stable condition of orbiting scroll for the moment equilibrium in tangential direction, the range of e is determined as 0$r_o$. Transient response of a crankshaft supported by two journal bearings is investigated, considering applied load, moment, and unbalance force by eccentric mass. As a result, conical whirl mode with circular orbits are obtained. The characteristics of journal orbits and frictional losses are calculated with a variation of viscosity and bearing clearance.

In co-orbiting scroll compressor, the two scroll members are to orbit with independent radii, producing a relative orbit motion between them. One scroll member is driven by the crank mechanism while the motion of the other member is determined by geometrical constraints and reacting forces. This paper presents an analytical study on the performance of a co-orbiting scroll compressor. The following results have been obtained: Radial contact force between the scroll wraps is virtually free from the centrifugal force of the orbiting scroll member. The frictional losses are somewhat increased due to the complicated drive mechanism, yielding to a little lower EER compared to conventional radially compliant scroll compressors .
