Custom Scroll Design
Contact Air Squared to learn how custom scroll design can support your industry with the most advanced compressor and vacuum pump solution available.
Advanced Custom Design Capability for Aerospace
For over twenty-five years, Air Squared has continuously challenged the limits of possibility with scroll technology. With an ever-expanding range of custom design capability, put our long history of innovation to work in your application.
Ultra-Lightweight
Spinning scroll technology provides aerospace customers the lightest compressor and vacuum pump solution available.
Compact Footprint
Unique staged configurations allow scroll compressors and vacuum pumps to fit in small space envelope without sacrificing performance.
Gases other than Air
With several patented semi-hermetic configurations, scroll compressors and vacuum pumps can be used for far more than moving air.
Exotic Fluid Compatibility
All-metallic scroll design allows Air Squared to provide solutions that are compatible with virtually any working fluid – even radioactive tritium.
Elevated Temperatures
Using stainless steel or other alloys, solutions can be designed to withstand harsh temperatures and conditions.
High-Pressure
With patented integrated liquid-cooling, scroll compressors can now be designed for pressure ratios that were previously unattainable.
Ultra-High Vacuum
Using patented coatings and staged scroll design, scroll vacuum pumps can achieve ultra-high vacuum without the need for a roughing pump.
Cryogenics
Air Squared can design scroll solutions for extreme cryogenic conditions – even pumping cryogenic liquids.
High-Efficiency
When minimal power consumption is critical, leverage the inherent efficiency advantage of orbiting and spinning scroll technology.
