Development of a New Compression Mechanism

A new compression mechanism named " helical blade has demonstrated a good performance essential for a quiet and high efficient compressor which can be used in both users and environment friendly systems. The compressor is basically a rotary and positive displacement type machine which consists of a rotating cylinder and a rotating rotor piston with a spiral blade. This paper presents a compression mechanism, a theoretical analysis on the performance and a prototype model design and· performance. Testing results have indicated that the performance of the prototype model remains nearly the same as that of current models of our rolling piston rotary compressors.
