A rotaprocating compressor.

Author(s) : OOI K. T., WAN T. T.

Summary

The paper presents analytical studies of a new compressor design that integrates merits of both the rotary and the reciprocating compressors. The new design replaces the crank mechanism in the conventional reciprocating compressor and results in a construction that allows increases in capacity as compared to the conventional reciprocating compressor with the same swept volume operating at the same motor speed. A mathematical model accounting for the compressor dynamic, valve dynamic, thermodynamic processes, and mechanical considerations has been formulated.
