Vane Compressor

The Sliding Vane Rotary Compressor is a positive displacement unit, it captures the gas in a determined volume, compresses it by rotating inside a cylinder, with sliding vanes forced against the cylinder wall. When the space between two of the flaps passes in front of the suction opening, the volume of trapped gas is large. As it moves around the cylinder, this space becomes smaller, so the gas is compressed to maximum pressure, when it is discharged from the cylinder by the discharge pipe.
