An algebraic flip system is an action of the infinite dihedral group by automorphisms of a compact abelian group $X$. In this paper, a fundamental structure theorem is established for irreducible algebraic flip systems, that is, systems for which the only closed invariant subgroups of $X$ are finite. Using irreducible systems as a foundation, for expansive algebraic flip systems, periodic point counting estimates are obtained that lead to the orbit growth estimate

$$\begin{eqnarray}Ae^{hN}\leqslant {\it\pi}(N)\leqslant Be^{hN},\end{eqnarray}$$
where ${\it\pi}(N)$ denotes the number of orbits of length at most $N$, $A$ and $B$ are positive constants and $h$ is the topological entropy.
