The scroll compressor is one that has spirals rotating into each other. The screw compressor is where two spirals are rotating in opposite directions.
Reciprocating compressor
A multistage reciprocating air compressor is a compressor that compresses air in a number of stages. A multi-stage reciprocating air compressor may contain 2 or many cylinders, like low pressure, medium pressure and high pressure cylinders.
A screw air compressor generates greater volumes of air more quickly than that of a conventional air compressor .
Flywheel prevents fluctuation in the speed of the motor as a result of load fluctuation. It stores the energy and dissipates it to the compressor for prolonged period. So the load fluctuation which is high during compression stage and low during other stages during a cycle in reciprocating compressor gets nullified. On the other hand, centrifugal compressor continiously compresses the gas and does not have load fluctuations, hence flywheel is not required.
The scroll compressor is one that has spirals rotating into each other. The screw compressor is where two spirals are rotating in opposite directions.
The parts of a hermetic (sealed) reciprocating compressor is as follows; motor, crankshaft, bearings, valves, and pressure relief valve and piston(s). there are other smaller parts that can be named but these are the main players. The hermetic scroll compressor is a little different than the reciprocating compressor because it uses an orbiting scroll and a stationary scroll to compress the refrigerant instead of pistons. This is why a scroll compressor cannot run "backwards". The scroll compressor also has an oil pick up tube which differs from a reciprocating compressor. Now a "semi-hermetic" compressor is build like a small engine. It has an oil pump, reed valve plate, unloaders, pistons, bearings, etc. A screw compressor is in a class all to itself.
A reciprocating compressor is one in which a piston or diaphragm moves in a reciprocating motion. The compressor used in the AC system of a Saturn is NOT a reciprocating compressor. It is most likely a "rotary vane" compressor.
A rotary compressor has screws or gears that compress a gas. A reciprocating compressor has a piston in a cylinder compressing the gas.

Reciprocating compressors are positive displacement in machines. However, separable compressors have higher maintenance costs.
A reciprocating compressor is basically a piston pump, much like if you'd take an average internal combustion engine and force it to run. A scrolling compressor uses two plates with a spiral-wound raised ledge on them. The ledges overlap and as they move in relation to each other air gets squeezed further and further into the labyrinth until it reaches the outlet port.
