A scroll device comprising:
- a housing;
- a motor having a shaft;
- an orbiting scroll connected to the shaft for moving the orbiting scroll;
- a fixed scroll mated to the orbiting scroll via at least one eccentric idler shaft, the at least one eccentric idler shaft comprising a channel formed therein, the channel extending from an outer surface of the fixed scroll to an outer surface of the orbiting scroll;
- and
- a cooling liquid inlet positioned closer to the fixed scroll than the orbiting scroll, the cooling liquid inlet in fluid communication with the channel, wherein cooling liquid enters the cooling liquid inlet and flows through the channel.
