Abstract

Compresseur de gaz comprenant un tambour rotatif et un ensemble de retour. Le tambour comporte un ensemble de canaux de compression présentant des canaux de compression entre une zone commune et une zone distale. Les canaux de compression peuvent être formés par une pluralité de blocs en V. L'ensemble de retour aspire du liquide à partir d'un lac annulaire formé dans le tambour, vers une sortie de fluide. Une entrée de gaz dans l'ensemble de retour mélange le gaz entrant avec le liquide. Un éjecteur facultatif, relié à l'entrée de gaz, aspire le gaz vers l'entrée de gaz. Le fluide entrant dans la zone de pression commune est forcé vers les canaux de compression destinés à comprimer le gaz. Le gaz sous pression est séparé du liquide dans le fluide avant de sortir du canal de compression. Un aubage peut être positionné entre la sortie de fluide de l'ensemble de retour et l'ouverture de la zone de pression commune centralisée.
