Abstract: A radial vane rotary compressor comprising a cylindrical casing with multiple independent vanes mounted radially on a centrally fixed shaft in the casing. An offset rotating cylindrical rotor (acts as a slider crank mechanism with each vane) drives the vanes, each with pairs of cylindrical slider segments to allow for sealed sliding and rotation of the vanes with respect to the rotor. The casing internal cylindrical wall is undercut slightly to allow for sufficient sealing aria of contact with the cylindrical rotor to separate intake port from discharge port.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a two-stage rotary compressor in which refrigerant inhaled into a compression space of a cylinder is compressed sequentially in two axially connected compression chambers and then is discharged.

Abstract: In a vane rotary compressor, a discharge valve on a discharge flow channel communicates an operating chamber in a compression element with a discharge hole. The discharge valve is pushed from an opening portion of a discharge valve groove to an outer circumferential surface of a roller by a high-pressure refrigerant when pressure in an operating chamber is lower than the pressure of the high-pressure refrigerant.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a two stage vacuum pump particularly suitable for servicing refrigeration systems wherein a pair of electrically driven rotors support outwardly movable vanes engaging the cylindrical circumference of pumping chambers in which the rotors are mounted. The efficient relationship of components produces a high capacity pump in a concise configuration, lateral sides of the rotors are recessed to produce rapid seating of the vanes, reduce hydraulic end loading of the second stage rotor and minimize friction. The vanes are offset from the associated rotor axis to allow greater displacement for a given chamber bore and rotor size, and advantageous frictional forces are produced to augment sealing between the vane tips and chamber surface. Further, the vane tips are shaped to optimize compression and reduce gas re-expansion, and the rotors of the two stages are rotationally phased to improve capacity and pumping characteristics.

Abstract: A compressor adapted for capacity control includes a rotor mounting thereon vanes slidably, a cylinder receiving therein the rotor and the vanes, side plates secured to the opposite sides of the cylinder, a vane chamber defined by the vane, rotor and the cylinder and closed at its sides by the side plates, suction ports and a discharge port. Suction loss produced when the pressure within the vane chamber becomes below the pressure of the refrigerant supply source during a suction stroke is utilized for suppressing the refrigerating capacity of the compressor at high speed operation. With the arrangement of the compressor, the effective area of the flow passage leading to the vane chamber from the suction ports varies in at least two stages such that it becomes smaller in the latter half of the suction stroke than in the former half thereof. Thus, in the compressor, driving torque can be reduced at low speed operation and adequate effects of capacity control can be obtained at high speed operation.

Abstract: A rotary vacuum pump is proposed, having a rotor with vanes which rotates eccentrically within a housing bore. Each vane is coupled with a body which is ineffective at relatively low pump rpm; however, at higher rpm, the body engages the vane in such a manner that it removes the vane from its track within the housing bore.In this manner, an rpm-dependent shutoff device is created for the pump. In cooperation with the furnishing of underpressure as an auxiliary pressure in motor vehicles, the pump is used to supplement the underpressure which prevails when the internal combustion engine is at low, idling rpm; this prevailing underpressure is at a very low pressure level, and so when it is thus supplemented there is sufficient auxiliary vacuum force available over the entire rpm range.

Abstract: A rotor (18) is disposed in a bore (14) of a cylinder (13) and carries vanes (33), (34), (36), (37) in radial slots (28), (29), (31), (32), the vanes (33), (34),(36), (37) being urged into engagement with the wall of the bore (14) by oil pressure applied to inner ends of the vanes (33), (34), (36), (37). The cylinder (13), rotor (18) and vanes (33), (34), (36), (37) are configured to displace refrigerant fluid or the like through the bore (14) from an inlet (19), (21) to an outlet (22), (23) upon rotation of the rotor (18). The trailing outer edges (28a') of the slots (28), (29), (31), (32) are chamfered, thus reducing frictional resistance between the vanes (33), ( 34), (36), (37) and slots (28), (29), (31), (32) to radial movement and producing a reservoir (28c') for oil forced through clearances between the slots (28), (29), (31), (32) and vanes (33), (34), (36), (37).

Abstract: A rotary compressor comprises a cylinder in which a rotor is eccentrically disposed. A plurality of generally rectangular, radially extending vanes are slidably disposed in slots in the rotor and sealingly engage the inner wall of the cylinder. Rotation of the rotor and vanes causes compression of refrigerant gas or the like trapped between adjacent vanes and discharge of the gas from the compressor. The radially outer edges of the vanes which engage the cylinder wall are curved, and the leading and trailing surfaces near the radially outer edges of the vanes are cut away to prevent sticking of the vanes in the slots due to deformation of the edges of the vanes after an extended period of use.

Abstract: A reciprocating vane rotary compressor for an automotive air conditioning system wherein the compressor capacity may be varied in response to the evaporator pressure or temperature such that the evaporator pumps only the amount of refrigerant required at moderate ambient temperatures. The compressor has a circumferentially adjustable modulation ring mounted in concentric relation with the internal compressor chamber surface. The ring, having by-pass port means, may be advanced in the direction of rotation of the rotor, with the port means operative to delay the time that the chamber goes under compression. By varying the induction cut-off point of the ring by-pass port means, the compressor chamber undergoing pre-compression returns gas via a suction transfer passage in the housing to the compressor suction cavity. The compressor rotor is mounted on a unique overhanging stub shaft arrangement to provide a simplified single journal bearing location for the rotor.

Abstract: A rotary vane pump can be constructed so as to utilize an auxiliary inlet port which is used to convey one fluid under pressure to the interior of the pump where such fluid is mixed with fluid drawn into the pump in a normal manner. In the disclosed structure the fluid conveyed to the pump through the auxiliary inlet port is used to force vanes carried by the pump rotor outwardly into contact with an eccentric wall in the pump stator. The vanes are preferably formed and mounted on the rotor so that the fluid conveyed through the auxiliary inlet port passes into the space between the rotor and the stator by flowing alongside the vanes. A structure of this type is preferably utilized with one of the inlet fluids being water and the other of the inlet fluids being a gaseous mixture containing a high proportion of ozone.
