Orbiting scroll device lubrication

A scroll device comprising:

• a fixed scroll;
• an orbiting scroll having a first orifice plug removably secured within a central aperture passing through the orbiting scroll;
• a crankshaft bearing having a crankshaft bearing axis, the crankshaft bearing having open sides that enable fluid flow through the crankshaft bearing, wherein the first orifice plug is substantially aligned with the crankshaft bearing axis;
• and
• an eccentric idler shaft orbitally connecting the orbiting scroll to the fixed scroll, the eccentric idler shaft comprising:
• a central portion having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
• a first arm extending from the first side and terminating in a first end, the first arm having a first axis;
• a second arm extending from the second side and terminating in a second end, the second arm having a second axis offset from and parallel to the first axis;
• a hollow core extending from the first end to the second end;
• a plurality of first channels extending through the first arm from the hollow core to an exterior of the eccentric idler shaft;
• and
• a plurality of second channels extending through the second arm from the hollow core to an exterior of the eccentric idler shaft.

A scroll device comprising:

• a fixed scroll comprising a first idler shaft bearing;
• an orbiting scroll comprising a second idler shaft bearing and a first orifice plug removably secured within a central aperture passing through the orbiting scroll;
• a crankshaft bearing having a crankshaft bearing axis, the crankshaft bearing having open sides that enable fluid flow through the crankshaft bearing, wherein the first orifice plug is substantially aligned with the crankshaft bearing axis;
• and
• a lubrication channel comprising:
• an orifice through a second orifice plug;
• a hollow core of an eccentric idler shaft;
• a first plurality of channels extending through the eccentric idler shaft proximate the first idler shaft bearing;
• and
• a second plurality of channels extending through the eccentric idler shaft proximate the second idler shaft bearing.
