1. A scroll device comprising:
a cooling fluid reservoir;
a fixed scroll comprising a first involute;
an orbiting scroll comprising an orbital axis and a body having a thickness defined by a distance measured in an axial direction running parallel to the orbital axis between a first surface of the body and a second surface of the body, a second involute extending from the first surface in the axial direction away from the second surface of the body, and a set of cross holes extending through the body transverse to the orbital axis and between the first surface and the second surface from a first side of the body offset a first transverse distance from the orbital axis to a second side of the body, the orbiting scroll mounted to the fixed scroll via a mechanical coupling, the orbiting scroll configured to orbit relative to the fixed scroll around the orbital axis; and
an integrated cooling loop comprising a cooling fluid flow path running from the cooling fluid reservoir to the set of cross holes and back to the cooling fluid reservoir, wherein cooling fluid routes along the cooling fluid flow path.
