Patent attributes
A scroll fluid machine that is capable of preventing a power loss and enhancing the degree of hermeticity of compression chambers. A plurality of outer peripheral projections are formed on an outer peripheral surface of a wrap portion of each scroll. An outer peripheral coating layer is formed on an outer peripheral surface of a wrap portion of a fixed scroll, and an inner peripheral coating layer is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the wrap portion. Each of the coating layers comprises: contact portions that make contact with the mating wrap portion; and non-contact portions that do not make contact with the mating wrap portion. In this way, the degree of hermeticity of the compression chambers can be enhanced by the contact portions, and power loss can be prevented by the non-contact portions.
