  • Rotary vane compressor with inlet and outlet valves in the rotor
    Patent number: 4627802
    Abstract: A vane compressor comprising a rotor eccentrically arranged in a cylindrical housing and vanes, which define a space between the periphery of the rotor and the inner surface of the housing. The volume of the space varies during the rotation of the rotor due to the eccentricity of the rotor. The rotor (14) comprises inlet valves (19, 23) arranged between the inlet (12) of the compressor and the space (46) in order to open when the pressure in the space (46) is below the pressure at the inlet (12) in order to suck in air inside the space (46) during the intake stroke of the rotor. Moreover, the rotor comprises outlet valves (20, 24) arranged between the space and the outlet (48) of the compressor and adapted to open when the pressure in the space (46) exceeds the counter-pressure at the outlet (48) during the compression stroke.
