Two-Zone Simulation of an Axial Vane Rotary Engine Cycle

Mathematical Simulation of Lubrication Conditions in Rotary Vane Compressors

I N T R 0 D U C T I 0 N In recent years, the application of double-flow rotary vane compressor in automotive air-conditioning systems has been increased because of its multiple cylinder characteristic. A certain problem is its high friction loss at higher speeds. The greatest amount of the friction is caused by the lubrication systems between the vane tip and the cylinder wall and between vane ...

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...

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...
