← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a scroll pump's orbiting scroll wears unevenly with pressure?
A)Reduced pumping efficiency results✓
B)Increased motor power consumption
C)Elevated working fluid temperature
D)Accelerated bearing fatigue occurs
💡 Explanation
The scrolls separate, and the volumetric efficiency declines because gas leaks backward across the scroll gaps via backflow, rather than reaching the output port. Therefore, pumping efficiency diminishes; rather than increased heat or specific bearing fatigue.
