High-speed gear-driven spinning scroll

A spinning scroll device comprising:

• a housing defining a working fluid volume;
• a lubrication chamber defining a lubrication volume, wherein the working fluid volume and the lubrication volume are fluidly separated from one another;
• a first scroll rotatably mounted within the housing and supported by a first scroll bearing, the first scroll bearing disposed in the lubrication volume;
• a second scroll rotatably mounted within the housing and supported by a second scroll bearing, the second scroll bearing disposed in the lubrication volume;
• a motor;
• a drive shaft operatively connected to the motor, the drive shaft configured to transmit torque from the motor to each of the first scroll and the second scroll, the drive shaft supported by a drive bearing disposed in the lubrication volume.

A spinning scroll device comprising:

• a housing defining a working fluid volume;
• a lubrication chamber defining a lubrication volume, wherein the working fluid volume and the lubrication volume are separated and independent of one another;
• a first scroll mounted within the housing and rotatably supported by a first drive gear of a set of second drive gears and a first scroll bearing, the set of second drive gears and the first scroll bearing disposed in the lubrication volume;
• a second scroll mounted within the housing and rotatably supported by a second drive gear of the set of second drive gears and a second scroll bearing, the second scroll bearing disposed in the lubrication volume;
• a motor;
• and
• a drive shaft operatively coupled with the motor and supported by a set of first drive gears and a drive bearing, the drive shaft configured to transmit torque from the motor to each of the first scroll and the second scroll via the set of first drive gears and the set of second drive gears, the set of first drive gears and the drive bearing disposed in the lubrication volume.
