  • Patent number: 8784087
    Abstract: A roots type fluid machine includes suction and discharge ports, rotary shafts and a pair of rotors. The rotor has a number n of lobe and valley portions with apex and bottom ends. The lobe portions are located on imaginary lines extending radially from an axis of the rotary shaft. The outer surface of each one of the rotors is generated by rotating an outline of the rotor including an arc and involute and envelope curves around and moving the outline in the direction of the axis. The arc has a radius R and a center located on the imaginary line. The involute curve is formed by an imaginary base circle having a radius r and a center located on the axis. The envelope curve is formed by an arc having a radius R. The number n is four or more. A torsional angle ? is over 360/n degrees.

  • Publication number: 20020094289
    Abstract: A scroll-type compressor 1 of the present invention comprises a fixed scroll 30, a movable scroll 51 which orbits so that it slides along the fixed scroll 30, draws, and compresses gas, and a housing 3 which includes a discharge port 6 from which the gas compressed by the movable scroll 51 is discharged; wherein a cooling fin 35, which directly contacts at least a part of the compressed gas, receives heat from the compressed gas, and reduces the temperature of the compressed gas, is included inside the discharge port 6. In the scroll-type compressor in the present invention the cooling fin is provided in the discharge port. When the cooling fin is provided in the discharge port, and not around the discharge port, the discharge gas of high temperature directly contacts the cooling fin, so that the cooling efficiency of the compressor is improved.
