sliding vane compressor
1vane pump — A type of rotary pump with either a slotted rotor and sliding vanes or a rotor with hinged vanes; typically used for air pumps in secondary air injection systems, as a compressor in air conditioning systems, and in some transmission systems. See… …
2Supercharger — A supercharger is an air compressor used for forced induction of an internal combustion engine. The greater mass flow rate provides more oxygen to support combustion than would be available in a naturally aspirated engine, which allows more fuel… …
3Scroll-type supercharger — The scroll type supercharger is a positive displacement orbiting spiral supercharger. It is a compromise between the more rugged rotating lobe and the more efficient sliding vane type superchargers and is considered to offer the highest potential …
4Pneumatic motor — The Victor Tatin airplane of 1879 used a compressed air engine for propulsion. Original craft, at Musée de l Air et de l Espace …
5Axial piston pump — An axial piston pump is a positive displacement pump that has a number of pistons in a circular array within a cylinder block. It can be used as a stand alone pump, a hydraulic motor or an automotive air conditioning compressor. Contents 1… …
6Liquid ring — A liquid ring pump is a rotating positive displacement pump. They are typically used as a vacuum pump but can also be used as a gas compressor.The function of a liquid ring pump is similar to a rotary vane pump the difference being that the vanes …
