Gas compressor using auxiliary compressor with radial flow channels - prevents formation of menisci and barrier layers with eddy currents

摘要

Gas compressor using auxiliary liquid comprises a rotor which includes radially outwardly extending flow channels (2) of circular cross-section. Extending into the centre region of the rotor is a pipe (3) which is divided by a partition (4) into a portion (5) for supply of gas and a portion (6) for supply of liq. The dia. of the flow channels decreased in inverse proportion to the radial distance from the centre of the rotor. When the flow channels move past the liq. pipe portion, they are filled with liq. (11, 7, 8), and after moving past it, gas enters the channel and the preceding liquid is moved radially outwards (9), sealing off the flow channel. When the channel moves past the liq. pipe portion again, further liq. enters, so that the gas (12) is disposed between two liq. sections (10, 11).
