Abstract

A gas compressor has a housing and a rotary body within the housing. The rotary body has one or more pistons in piston chambers that are open to the outer circumferential surface. Each piston is rigidly secured to an engagement profile that extends perpendicular to the direction of the piston's travel. A stroke length control element is connected to one or more engagement profiles. As the rotary body rotates, the stroke length control element moves along the one or more engagement profiles. The stroke length of the piston is controlled by the position of the stroke length control element. The stroke length control element is biased toward an extended position buy is forced toward the central axis to shorten the stroke length of the piston upon application of a predetermined back pressure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] A gas compressor generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to FIG. 1 through 8.
Structure and Relationship of Parts:
[0010] Referring to FIG. 2, gas compressor 10 has a housing 12 with a fluid inlet 14 and a fluid outlet 16. A rotary body 18 is positioned within housing 12. Referring to FIG. 3, fluid inlet 14 connects to an inlet chamber 20 and fluid outlet 16 connects to an outlet chamber 22.
Inlet and outlet chambers 20 and 22 are defined between the inner surface 24 of housing 12 and the outer circumferential surface 26 of rotary body 18. Rotary body 18 provides a seal between chambers 20 and 22. Referring to FIG. I, rotary body 18 rotates on bearings 23. As used herein, the term "fluid" may include gas, liquid or combinations thereof.
[0011] Referring to FIG. 2, rotary body 18 as shown has two piston chambers 28 that are open to outer circumferential surface 26 and thus in communication with inlet and outlet chambers 20 and 22 on an alternating basis as rotary body 18 rotates. Each piston chamber 28 houses a piston 30 that reciprocates in the respective piston chamber 28.
As shown, piston chambers 28 are parallel and coaxial on opposite sides of rotary body 18.
Pistons 30 are CA _7_8_2 05 0, õ
