THE FLOW WORK COMPRESSOR.

Author(s) : WEINBRECHT J. F.

Summary

A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT COMPRESSION INTEGRATES AN OPEN FLOW RECIRCULATION SYSTEM OPERATING AT OUTPUT PRESSURE WITH A MULTI-LOBED ROOT'S TYPE ROTARY COMPRESSOR. DISPLACEMENT CAVITIES IN THE COMPRESSOR ROTORS CONVEY INPUT PRESSURE FLUID INTO THE RECIRCULATION SYSTEM. AFTER CLOSING TO INLET THEY OPEN TO INTERMEDIATE REFILL PORTS, AND RECIRCULATION FLUID FLOWS IN. PRESSURE INCREASES TO WITHIN A FEW PERCENT OF DISCHARGE LEVEL BEFORE THE CAVITIES CLOSE TO REFILL AND THEN OPEN INTO DISCHARGE. FINAL PRESSURE INCREASE IS GAINED THROUGH ADIABATIC COMPRESSION AT A RATIO WHICH IS NEAR UNITY. SUCH COMPRESSORS ARE QUIET AND HIGHLY ENERGY EFFICIENT.
