Abstract
Scroll compressors are now widely demanded in various refrigeration systems, where one of the main tasks to be solved is to reduce energy consumption. Operation of the scroll compressors in such systems occurs with variable capacity, and the main energy consumption of the whole refrigeration system is, as a rule, for the compressor drive. The efficiency of thier operation, under these conditions, is determined by the minimum energy consumption per unit of produced cold, which depends on the way of regulating its capacity, other things being equal. In this article, we consider a comparative analysis of possible ways of scroll compressors regulation, their classification, methods of their efficiency evaluation at element and system levels. Some perspective ways of development in this field are shown.

Keywords: scroll compressor, compressor performance, methods of performance regulation, refrigeration compressor, efficiency of performance regulation.
