    Interms of reliability and efficiency scroll has edge over recip. However the initial cost of scroll is higher,also recip can be repaired after the failure.

    The advantage for the manufacturer is mainly the price, a scroll is cheaper although most small splits till 7 kW have a rotary compressor. They say a scroll is also more silent.
    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
