Summary
According to JARN 2017, the annual production for positive displacement rotary compressors alone exceeds 154.3 million pieces and growing at 11.2% annually ("World Compressor Market," 2017). Obviously, a lot of materials, especially metal, are being used every year just to produce compressors alone. In the interest of saving these materials, and hence bring towards a more sustainable environment, in this paper, a new rotary vane compressor which is probably the world’s most compact rotary compressor has been introduced. It is called Coupled Vane Compressor for the reason that the two vanes are coupled together. The unique feature is that the two coupled vanes cut through the rotor. Hence theoretically, any size of the rotor that is as big as the shaft of the motor will work with this compressor design. Due to its compactness, it is believed that, this design has the potential in saving a significant amount of materials, especially metal, in producing compressor for various applications including cooling, heating, refrigeration and air compression. In this paper, the basic design of this compressor will be presented. Mathematical model has been formulated and its working principle will be shown and illustrated.
