Yes, they have a startup in rush, but I'd be interested in seeing efficiency of this tech versus current scroll compressors. --- Post by "Just Have a Think" (the creator) Response from Magtor CTO : There are many types of compressor in use and the industry somewhat specialises within particular technologies based on the power requirements, type of applications, manufacturing costs, end product costs, etc. Regarding efficiency of scroll vs reciprocating compressors, not all sources agree but the trend is that scroll compressors are at least slightly more efficient, based on operating conditions… There is this interesting white paper from Schneider Electric, “The different types of cooling compressors” https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=SPD_VAVR-AE7T7G_EN https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=SPD_... and I also found this study: “Comparison of hermetic scroll and reciprocating compressors operating under varying refrigerant charge and load” at https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=2517&context=icec https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=http...
