A scroll machine is provided with wear resistant features to provide the scroll machine with improved operation when processing CO2 refrigerant. In certain aspects, the scroll machine has an Oldham coupling comprising aluminum, where the aluminum has an anodized surface forming a passivation layer thereon. The scroll machine optionally further has a self-lubricating bearing capable of use in the CO2 scroll machine for at least 1,000 hours of operation.

The invention claimed is: 1. A scroll machine comprising: a first scroll member having a discharge port and a first spiral wrap; a second scroll member having a second spiral wrap, said first and second spiral wraps being mutually intermeshed; a discharge chamber in fluid communication with said discharge port; a motor for causing said second scroll member to orbit with respect to said first scroll member, whereby said wraps create at least one enclosed space of progressively changing volume between a peripheral suction zone defined by said scroll members and said discharge port, wherein the scroll machine is configured to process a refrigerant comprising carbon dioxide; and an Oldham coupling keyed to said second scroll member and said first scroll member to prevent rotational movement of said second scroll member, said Oldham coupling being formed from a metal material comprising aluminum and having an unsealed porous anodized surface comprising a Type III hardcoat passivation layer, wherein at least a portion of the unsealed porous anodized surface is a contact surface that provides wear resistance in the presence of said refrigerant comprising carbon dioxide for at least 1,000 hours of scroll machine operation. 2. The scroll machine according to claim 1, wherein said passivation layer has a thickness of about 5 to about 15 micrometers. 3. The scroll machine according to claim 1, wherein said unsealed porous anodized surface has a Rockwell hardness of about 60 C to about 70 C. 4. The scroll machine according to claim 1, wherein said metal material comprises greater than or equal to about 79 and less than or equal to about 84 weight % aluminum and further comprises greater than or equal to about 7.5 and less than or equal to about 12 weight % silicon; greater than or equal to about 2 to less than or equal to about 4 weight % copper; greater than or equal to about 1 and less than or equal to about 2 weight % iron; and greater than or equal to about 2.5 and less than or equal to about 3.5 weight % zinc. 5. The scroll machine according to claim 1, wherein said metal material comprises a type A380 aluminum alloy. 6. The scroll machine according to claim 1, wherein said unsealed porous anodized surface comprising said passivation layer provides a wear resistance to provide scroll performance of less than or equal to about 5% loss of coefficient of performance (COP) over 1,000 hours of scroll machine operation. 7. A scroll machine comprising: a shell; a first scroll member disposed in said shell and having a first spiral wrap; a second scroll member disposed in said shell and having a second spiral wrap, said first and second spiral wraps being mutually intermeshed; a drive mechanism for causing said first scroll member to orbit with respect to said second scroll member, whereby said wraps create at least one enclosed space of progressively changing volume between a peripheral suction zone defined by said scroll members and a discharge port defined by said second scroll member; a bearing housing disposed below said first scroll member defining a cylindrical opening extending there through and a self-lubricating bearing member received in said bearing housing and disposed directly against said shaft comprising a self-lubricating bearing material, wherein the scroll machine is configured to process a refrigerant comprising carbon dioxide; and an Oldham coupling disposed between said first scroll member and said bearing housing to prevent rotational movement of said first scroll member, said Oldham coupling being formed from a metal material comprising aluminum and silicon at greater than or equal to about 7.5 weight % and having an anodized unsealed porous surface comprising a Type III hardcoat passivation layer having a thickness of greater than or equal to about 5 micrometers, wherein the Oldham coupling and the self-lubricating bearing provide wear resistance in the presence of said refrigerant comprising carbon dioxide for at least 1,000 hours of scroll machine operation. 8. The scroll machine according to claim 7, wherein said Type III hardcoat passivation layer has a Rockwell hardness of about 60 C to about 70 C. 9. The scroll machine according to claim 7, wherein said metal material comprises greater than or equal to about 79 and less than or equal to about 84 weight % aluminum and further comprises greater than or equal to about 7.5 and less than or equal to about 12 weight % silicon; greater than or equal to about 2 to less than or equal to about 4 weight % copper; greater than or equal to about 1 and less than or equal to about 2 weight % iron; and greater than or equal to about 2.5 and less than or equal to about 3.5 weight % zinc. 10. The scroll machine according to claim 7, wherein said metal material comprises an A380 aluminum alloy. 11. The scroll machine according to claim 7, wherein said anodized unsealed porous surface comprising said passivation layer has a wear resistance that enables at least 1,000 hours of scroll machine operation. 12. The scroll machine according to claim 11, wherein said anodized unsealed porous surface comprising said passivation layer and said self-lubricating bearing provides for the scroll machine to have less than or equal to about 5% loss of coefficient of performance over 1,000 hours of scroll machine operation. 13. The scroll machine according to claim 7, wherein said self-lubricating bearing member comprises a steel backing overlaid with a layer of sintered bronze material impregnated with polytetrafluoroethylene. 14. The scroll machine according to claim 13, wherein said layer of sintered bronze material impregnated with polytetrafluoroethylene further comprises at least one solid lubricant comprising an element selected from the group consisting of lead, molybdenum, carbon, tin, and combinations thereof. 15. A carbon dioxide scroll machine that processes a refrigerant comprising carbon dioxide, the machine comprising: a first scroll member having a discharge port and a first spiral wrap; a second scroll member having a second spiral wrap, said first and second spiral wraps being mutually intermeshed; a drive mechanism for causing said second scroll member to orbit with respect to said first scroll member, whereby said wraps create at least one enclosed space of progressively changing volume between a peripheral suction zone defined by said scroll members and said discharge port, said drive mechanism including a crankshaft drivingly engaging said second scroll member; and a bearing assembly engaging said crankshaft, said bearing assembly including a bearing housing defining a cylindrical opening extending there through and a self-lubricating bearing member received in said bearing housing and disposed directly against said shaft, wherein said self-lubricating bearing member has a wear resistance in the presence of the refrigerant comprising carbon dioxide that enables at least 1,000 hours of carbon dioxide scroll machine operation. 16. The carbon dioxide scroll machine according to claim 15, wherein said self-lubricating bearing member comprises a steel backing overlaid with a layer of sintered bronze material impregnated with polytetraflouroethylene. 17. The carbon dioxide scroll machine according to claim 16, wherein said layer of sintered bronze material impregnated with polytetrafluoroethylene further comprises at least one solid lubricant comprising an element selected from the group consisting of lead, molybdenum, carbon, tin, and combinations thereof. 18. The carbon dioxide scroll machine according to claim 15, wherein the bearing assembly is a lower bearing assembly disposed at a terminal end of said shaft.
