Development of a Sliding Vane Rotary Pump for Engine Cooling

Evaluation of Composite Vane Materials for Rotary Sliding Vane Compressors

The physical performance characteristics of composite materials used for vanes in rotary, sliding-vane compressors, in general, are several orders of magnitude more difficult to quantify for design purposes than most homogeneous materials. This arises from the numerous variables that influence the response of these materials under the severe environmental conditions existing in such compressors...

Internal Leakage Effects in Sliding Vane, Rotary Compressors

Vane Dynamics Analysis of a Tilted Vane Rotary Compressor

An analytical model of vane dynamics in a tilted vane rotary compressor is presented. With the geometric relationship of the vane in a tilted slot, and the roller, the kinetic equations were derived for evaluating the reciprocating inertial force of the vane, and the chamber volume equations were obtained for calculating pressure history inside the compression chamber. The empirical friction co...

Performance Enhancement in Sliding Vane Rotary Compressors through a Sprayed Oil Injection Technology

In Sliding Vane Rotary Compressors, as well as in most of positive displacement machines, the oil is injected to accomplish sealing and lubrication purposes. However, the oil injection could produce an additional outcome during the compression phase with a great saving potential from the energetic point of view. Being the air inside the cell at a higher temperature than the oil injected, a cool...

Mixed Lubrication Analysis of Vane Sliding Surface in Rotary Compressor Mechanisms

In this study, in order to investigate the lubrication characteristics of the sliding surface of the vane in a rotary compressor, numerical analysis for mixed lubrication has been developed. In this analysis, the modified Reynolds equation and the elastic contact equation, considering the surface roughness, are solved as a coupled problem. Using this analysis, the lubrication characteristics of...
