The theory of scroll profile.

Author(s) : BUKAC H.

Summary

Only a pair of parallel curves can create a pocket that compresses gas. A review of the theory of parallel curves that is presented here shows that there is more general way to design an arbitrary scroll profile. Several selected types of plane spirals are discussed here. A common way of creating a curve that is parallel with a given involute of a circle is to rotate the given involute of a circle plus or minus one hundred eighty degrees, but this is not possible for all types of spirals. The same parallel curve can be generated by application of equations of parallel curves.
