Definitions

  • Double-acting pistons placed in cylinders describing a translational motion in space are responsible for the principle of operation of the compressor.
  • the advantages of this system is that the centripetal force is the sole responsible for the work of compression of gases, resulting thereby in a reduction in power consumption compared to traditional compressors.
  • the present patent of invention consists of two or more juxtaposed cylinders connected to a main axis, so as to bring balance to the system.
  • the cylinders are put to rotate at a fixed speed, which is predetermined in design, describing a translational motion in space, and each cylinder has double acting free pistons, where the only force acting on the piston compression is caused by centripetal acceleration.
  • Piston weight, diameter, rotation, and radius determines the working pressure of the machine.
  • the mechanisms used to compress are connected directly to the shaft of either an electric or internal combustion engine always resulting in the same energy expenditure, taking into account the same gas flow.
  • centripetal compressor claimed such relationship ceases to exist because double-acting pistons do not have any mechanism to connect them to the shaft of an engine.
  • the centripetal force that comes with the compressor rotation speed is the only force acting on the pistons causing compression of gases. This force causes no loss of power to the compressor, since it acts radially on the shaft at an angle of ninety degrees to the direction of rotation.
  • centripetal force which in combination with the translational motion of the cylinder, produces the alternative movement of the pistons responsible for compression of gases.
  • the power consumed to keep the machine in motion is generated by aerodynamic drag and by the friction of the bail bearings.
  • cylinders and machine are placed in drums where the confined gas is forced to rotate with the rotation of the system, reducing the power required to keep the compressor in operation (see picture on page 3/3).
  • this compressor is the elimination of the pressure switch since there is no gas consumption, the centripetal force acting on the pistons is balanced by the pressure of the system, preventing the pistons to compress beyond that pressure. Therefore, this compressor can operate without interruption since the compressive pressure will not exceed the working pressure for which the machine was designed.
  • Cylinders ( 1 ) containing double-acting free pistons ( 2 ) are placed in forks of the same radius ( 3 ), symmetrically opposed, fixed to a main shaft ( 4 ), which has is supported by fixed bearings ( 5 ) where fixed gears ( 6 ) are placed responsible for the translational motion of cylinders.
  • the cylinders startup must be mounted so as to cause a translational motion onto them.
  • the startup is triggered by drive chain ( 7 ).
  • Each cylinder head has check valves that function as low-pressure gas admission and gas exhaust under pressure. Compressed gas flows through the exhaust valve to the ducts leading to the main shaft where the compressed gas is captured to be utilized ( 8 ) (see picture on page 1/3).
  • the project hereby presented has only two cylinders since it consists of the basic mode of construction.
  • the system can also be constructed with three or more cylinders opposed symmetrically in order to maintain the set balanced set, and the number of cylinders is determined according to each application's needs.
  • the rotation may or may not be zero, since the rotation of these cylinders in the translational motion can increase the volume capacity of the compressor. On the other hand, it may also limit the travel of the pistons by reducing compression time, thus reducing its capacity, In order to determine whether the cylinder will rotate, one must first decide on the piston travel.
  • the compressor can replace any compressor where the main factor is to save energy. Its application can take place in various fields of human activity. Its main application, however, is generation of energy. Since the power to compress the air is reduced, the compressor can be coupled to a compressor air engine, thereby generating sufficient driving force for various applications.
  • F m. V 2 /R, where F is the centripetal force in Newton, m is the mass in Kg, V is the tangential velocity in m/s, and R is the radius in m.
  • p-F/A where p is the pressure in Kgf/cm 2 .
  • F is the force in Kgf, and A is the area in cm 2 .
