Description

How They Work

1. Rotor Rotation: The rotor, with its radial vanes, rotates eccentrically within the casing.
2. Suction: As the rotor turns, the space between the vanes and the casing increases, creating a vacuum. This vacuum draws the gas into the compressor.
3. Compression: As the rotor continues to turn, the space between the vanes and the casing decreases, compressing the gas.
4. Discharge: The compressed gas is discharged from the compressor through an outlet port.

Advantages of Vane Compressors

• Compact design: Vane compressors are relatively compact for their capacity.
• Versatile: Can handle a wide range of gases and operating conditions.
• Quiet operation: Generally quieter than other types of rotary compressors.
• Oil-free options: Available in both oil-lubricated and oil-free designs.

Applications

• Vacuum pumps: Vane compressors are commonly used as vacuum pumps in various applications.
• Industrial processes: Used for conveying powders, granules, and slurries.
• Automotive industry: Used in air conditioning systems.
• Medical equipment: Used in medical devices such as ventilators.
