THE BEARD-PENNOCK VARIABLE-STROKE COMPRESSOR.

Author(s) : PENNOCK G. R., BEARD J. E.

Summary

A NEW TYPE OF VARIABLE-STROKE COMPRESSOR (BEARD-PENNOCK COMPRE SSOR), IS PRESENTED IN THE PAPER. THE STROKE IS ADJUSTED BY CHANGING THE LENGTH OF THE GROUND LINK USING AN AUXILIARY MECHANISM. ADJUSTING THE GROUND LINK, CHANGES THE ROTATION ANGLE AND THE EFFECTIVE LENGTH OF THE CONNECTING ROD, WHICH IN TURN CONTROLS THE PUMPING VOLUME OF THE COMPRESSOR. THE MOTION OF THE PISTON INDUCES A TRANSVERSE FORCE AND A BENDING MOMENT IN THE CONNECTING ROD BUT NO AXIAL FORCE OR STATIC BUCKLING LOAD.
