Summary

Scroll compressors are becoming popular in air conditioning and refrigeration. This is primarily due to their higher efficiency and low noise/vibration. The scroll principle can also be applied to the steam expander and the Brayton cycle engine, as shown in the past literature. The Otto cycle spark-ignition engine with a scroll compressor and expander is studied. The principle and basic structure of the scroll engine are explained, and the engine specifications are calculated based on the idealized cycles and processes. A prototype model was proposed and constructed. The rotary type engine has always had a problem with sealing. The scroll engine might overcome this shortcoming with its much lower rubbing speed compared to its previous counterparts, and is therefore worth investigating.
