I Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 14, 1911.
Application filed May 2, 1908. Serial No. 430,629; 1
To all it may concern:
Be it known that I, AMANDUS CHARLES RonssLER, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at 189 Earlsfield road, Wandsworth Common, London, S. W., England, engineer, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Rotary Compressors, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fluid compressors of the type in which a rotating drum carrying sliding blades works within a casing.
The object of the present invention is to increase'the efliciency and capacity of such compressors. In compressors of this type, two difficulties are encountered viz :-If the blades are spring-pressed against the casing, there is considerable friction resulting in wearing away of the casing and blades, as well as a considerable lossof power and in those forms in which no sprlngs are employed for pressing thcblades, there is considerable leakage loss and the capacity of such blowers is comparatively small, owing to the small amount'of eccentricity between the casing and the rotating drum. With the view of reducing these difliculties several constructions have been proposed in one of which the casing of a rotary pum or motor was bored out to curves struck rom three difi'erent centers; in another the casing was gouged out near both the outlet and inlet ports; in another the axis of rotation of the drum of a rotary pump was situated at some distance off a chord joining the extremities of a truly circular portion of the internal surface of the casing of the pump, and in another the inlet ort wasso situated relatively to the outl t port that compression commenced before the .latter was opened; None of these pumps or motors have however more than partially avoided the difliculties and their efliciencieshave been considerably below thatwhich is desirable- The object of the present invention is to entirely overcome the difliculties and to 'increase the efliciency and capacity of such compressors.
The present invention consists in a ro-' tary pump or compressor having in combination the following features namely, its, 'drum situated at some distance from the end' of a chord joining the extremities of the forming the remainder truly circular portion of the casing which caslng is struck from three centers with three diflerent radii and is gouged out near the inlet port which is so situated relatively, to the outlet port that compression com mences before and continues progressively after the latter is opened. And my inventlon further consists in the method by which the shape of the interior of a casing, de-
signed to contain an eccentrically mounted impeller, the diametrically opposite ends of whose vanes are a constant distance apart and are intended to maintain contact with the interior walls of the casing at all points. is obtained. This method preferably con ,sists in the following: First, forming a basic portion of the interior surface of the casing from which the rest is derived, in the con= figuration of an arc of a circle; and then of the surface nonconcentric with the basic portion, with sub stantially the configuration of a series of cylindrical arcs struck from a axes parallel to the axis of the basic portion and with different radii. These axes and the radii are determined from the ends of chords equal to the distance between diametrically opposite endsof the vanes, which pass through the axis of rotation of the impeller and whose other ends lie inthe plurality of basic cylindrical are. In this way, the derived port-ion of the surface will substantially gngage the ends of all such chords,
points in their rotation.
Referring. now to the accompanying drawings which form part of this specification: Figure '1 is a diagram showing the position of the various centers from which the different portions of the internal surface of the drum arc struck; Fig.2showsa sectional elevation of a form of the device in which a single one piece blade is used;
Fig. 3 shows a sectional view on the line A B of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 shows a sectional elevation of a form of the device in which the blade is in two parts; Fig. 5 shows a sectional view on the line C D of Fig. 4.
In carrying out this invention according to one form, the casing is arranged in the form of a circle gouged out at one side, at' the suction side. The shape of the casing is preferably obtained by first drawing a line thus insuring a proper fit of the vanes at all v dius 01 say 2 inches.
equal in length to the length of the blade to be used. Taking this line as a diameter, a.
curve which is the arc of a circle and has approximately the length of a semi-circle is described with a radius equal to one-half the.
length of the blade. Then a circle having a diameter equal to that of the drum to be used, which diameter coincides with that of the semicircle first drawn, is described in such position that it touches the semicircle. From the periphery of the semicircle lines are then drawn through the center of the. drum equal in length to the length of the blade and it will then be found that the. curves 'passing through the free ends of these lines ing somewhat from a semicircle of largerradius. The casing is conveniently formed (Fig. 1) by first turning it out to one radius a say two inches then fixing the casing thus turned out, eccentrically to the boring tool so as to gouge out the casing at one side to a different radius '6, say 1% inches. A suitable curvature of the casing can then be obtained when the part m where two curves join is suitably smoothed off. Thisis effected by sweeping out the-region a to a raunderstood that there are many ways in which this curvature may be arranged and produced in the casing, but in all cases all the chords passing through .the center of the rotating drum, 6, (see Figs. 2 to 5) should be equal. The rotating drum, 6, is arranged eccentrioally not only with respect to thecenter from which .the truly .circular portion of the casing" is' struck, but
also with respect to a chord joining the ends of the truly cir cular portion of the teasing, and is mountedmn a spindle f,
. with the drum, e.
which in some cases maybe formed'integral This. spindle, f, passes through bearings, 9, arranged in the covers, h, which close the casing, j. The drum, 6, is provided with a slot, is, in whichis worked a double ended blade, m. This blade, m,
may be arranged all in one piece, as shown 1 in Figs. 2 and 3, or it may be arranged in two pieces, n and- Z, with a distance piece, 0, between, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. These pieces, at and Z, it'will be understood, slide in the slot, k, in the: 'drum, e', during the rotation of thedruml-f I According to my improved form of compressor as soon as the blade, m, Figs. 2
Of course it will be and 3, or the two piece blade, at, Z, of Figs. 4 and 5, over-runsthe inlet opening, 77, to the casing, j, compression starts and proceeds evenly and regularly till the outlet passage,
9, is reached. This has not been the case in 'most compressors of this kindhitherto used where say four air spaces were employed and the capacities of these spacesafterleaving the inlet first increased and subsequently diminished. In all cases I prefer to arrange the outlet opening, q, for this form of blower Well up in the casing, j, so that the projection of this opening on the curve of the easing is as small as possible and thereby slip reduced to a minimum. The inlet opening, p, may however be arranged as in former types.
By means of my invention the casing of the m'achineis made of greater capacity on one side than on .the other, the truly cylindrical portion being the side of lesser capacity and the nonconcentric or gouged out portion being the side of greater capacity.
In the operation of the machine as a compressor a charge of the compressible fluid is taken into the larger side of the casing, compressed by being passed on into the smaller side of the casin and then expelled from the smaller side of t e casing. In order that the .noncon centric orenlarged portion of the easing may be effective to receive the charge of compressible fluid this enlarged portion must be located in advance of or in front of the one port, while the smaller or truly oylindrical portion of the casing in orderto be effective for compressing must be located in frontof or in advance of the other port. In other words,-one port is entered into the casing substantially at the beginning of the enlarged portion thereof, while the other port is entered into the casing substantially at the beginning of the smaller or truly cylindrical portion of the casing. In some cases it may be necessary to provide forced lubrication;
this may be effected automatically by the blower and I prefer to insert some means in the outlet pipe for separating the fluid and any oil which may be carried over by the I compressed fluid.
Itwillbe understood that many-conven ient constructions may beemployed and any convenient device maybe used for driving the compressor. It will also be understood that many modification may be made to this invention without eparting from the spirit thereof.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination of a hollow casing provided with inlet and outlet ports, sai casing having a truly cylindrical portion,
and a non-concentric portion described from a plurality of-difierent centers with different radii whereby the casing is made of s0 described will engage the ends of all equal chords drawn through a center of'rotation, and a sliding piston blade journaled eccentrically within the casing, on said center of rotation so that the ends of the blade will closely fit the walls of the casing at all points in the rotation thereof.
