Abstract
The article concerns the issue of possible inconsistency of working elements in a scroll compressor or any other spiral machine that may occur during the assembly of a system of working scroll. The concept of misalignment is defined as a discrepancy, a linear shift along the polar radius with some perturbation or deviation of the orbital angle of a moving scroll. A variant of estimating the degree of mismatch is proposed. Expressions are obtained allowing to estimate the numerical values of the residuals depending on the magnitude of the deviation in the orbital angle. Calculations have been carried out to indicate the maximum value of such deviations.

Keywords: scroll compressors, the principle of operation of the SEC, working elements, misalignment of scrolls, angular perturbation of the scroll orbit, radial discrepancy.
