| Summary: | Efficiency is the most important factor affecting the performance of a compressor. Mainly, there are two types, i.e. mechanical and volumetric efficiency. The former is indicated by low frictional losses, while the latter by low leakage
losses.To have both requirements fulfilled, this poster proposes a novel compressor mechanism named ‘Revolving Vane compressor’. This compressor radically employs a rotating cylinder which greatly reduces relative velocities of the rubbing components, thus substantially improves overall
performance and reliability. [3rd Award] |
