Zusammenfassung:A scroll device has a fixed scroll, and orbiting scroll, and at least an integrated cooling loop configured to receive coolant to cool the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll. A flexible conduit is provided that curves radially around an orbital axis of the orbiting scroll to transfer coolant along integrated cooling loop. The integrated cooling loop separates coolant used to cool the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll from the involutes of the scroll device providing clean operation of the scroll device. The integrated cooling loop may be defined by the flexible conduit, one or more cooling chambers, and/or one or more cooling passageways.
