  • Variable-displacement vane compressor with one or more ferromagnetic vanes
    Patent number: 4492540
    Abstract: A variable-displacement vane compressor has a pump housing and a cylindrical rotor supported on a drive shaft and rotatably disposed in the pump housing. The rotor has a plurality of vanes movably fitted in respective slits formed in the rotor and having radially outward ends slidable against an inner peripheral camming surface of the pump housing. Certain ones of the vanes are made of a ferromagnetic material and can be retracted back into the slits in response to energization of an electromagnetic coil to thereby reduce the volume of a fluid discharged from pump working chambers in the pump housing. When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized, all of the vanes are slidably held against the inner peripheral camming surface to discharge the compressed fluid in an increased volume.
