COMPRESSOR A cutaway view of the rotary compressor with key com- ponents labeled is shown in Figure 32. The motor sta- tor is rigidly attached to the compressor shell. The rotor is pressed onto the eccentric shaft, which is supported by 2 bearings. Both the discharge valve and discharge muf fler are attached to the motor bearing. The pump bearing p[...]

The rotary compression process (Figure 33), starts at top dead center as shown in (1). Suction gas flows through the suction inlet and into the cylinder area. As the shaft rotates through 90 degrees, the rolling pis- ton moves to position A as shown in (2). The suction vol- ume is now the area defined by point A and the tip of the vane. Gas in th[...]
