They work on two different principles as their name implies...Rotary compressors are more common in consumer appliances and are highly efficient.
Scroll compressors are quiet, smooth-operating units with the highest efficiency ratio of all compressor types. They are commonly used in automobile air conditioning systems and commercial chillers.

What is difference between reciprocating compressor and a rotary compressor?
A rotary compressor has screws or gears that compress a gas. A reciprocating compressor has a piston in a cylinder compressing the gas.
How do you tell if you have a scroll or rotary compressor?
the shape or call the parts house with model number and make
What is difference between Hermetic Rotary Compressor?
this tool is not available
How does a rotary compressor work?
Same way a non rotary compressor works
What type of rotary compressor is used in air conditioners?
spring type rotary compressor
What is the working of rotary compressor?
working principle of a compressor
Where can one purchase a rotary screw compressor?
You can purchase a rotary screw compressor from the Compressor World website. Alternatively, you can also purchase this item from the BuyQuincy website.
What is the difference between Digital Scroll Compressor and Inverter scroll compressor?
In digital scroll compressors, the motor runs continuously at full speed, and the capacity of the compressor is adjusted by a digitally controlled mechanical unloader (slide bar) which adjusts the vertical positioning of the orbital scroll with respect to the fixed scroll thereby reducing its capacity. In inverter scroll compressors, the relative positions of the scrolls does not change, but the speed of the motor is adjusted by a variable speed drive, which adjusts the capacity. The inverter scroll compressor is more energy efficient at part load conditions than a comparable digital scroll compressor. The digital scroll compressor will more closely match a specified load, but is not as energy efficient as a comparable inverter driven compressor. Both types of compressors have associated built-in mechanisms to maintain compressor lubrication at low flow.
Which type of rotary compressor used in gas turbine?
Rotating axial compressor.
What type of compressor is perferred with refrigerant R-113?
Centrifugal Compressor and Rotary Compressor is preferred with refrigerant R-113.
Why is a scroll compressor more efficient than a reciprocating compressor?
The scroll compressor is one that has spirals rotating into each other. The screw compressor is where two spirals are rotating in opposite directions.
Which is best Rotary compressor or reciprocating compressor?
Receip or Piston type compressor are used for large duty cycle work (A/c or other equipments), energy hungry but last longer (Heavy Duty). Where as rotary compressor are energy efficient with higher ( Energy Efficiency Ratio) but lower duty cycle and shorter life. Selection of compressor are based on the nature of application. Normally, for room A/Cs with capacity less than 3 ton, most companies offer rotary compressor due to it's EER and less duty cycle. For heavy duty A/Cs, recip or piston compressor best suited.
