All major compressor manufacturers currently produce scroll compressors.
The term hermitic, when applied to compressors means that the compressor and the motor that drives it are permenanetly sealed in an enclosure (usually welded). In contrast "semi-hermetic" is used for a motor/compressor sealed in an openable enclosure (typically bolted-gasketed joints).

The latest I have heard is: larger scrolls are being retrofitted with crankcase heater to prevent liquid damage. I would never buy a heatpump without an accumulator.
