Abstract

The Revolving Vane (RV) compressor was invented in the year 2006. Due to its rotating cylinder mechanism, the mechanical efficiency of the mechanism is significantly higher when compared to its predecessors. In this paper, the practical and theoretical design limitations of the mechanism are discussed. These include the allowable maximum eccentricity, the vane slot geometry and the sizes of the compressor components. Proposed methods to overcome some of the limitations are then presented. The results indicate that the RV compressor has the potentials to be used even for compressor applications with space limitations.
