Centripetal Compressor

Abstract

Dual-action pistons positioned in cylinders that describe a translational movement in space are responsible for starting operation of the compressor. The advantage of this system is that the centripetal force is the only force responsible for the gas compression work, thereby resulting in a reduction in the power consumed as compared with conventional compressors.

         2 . CENTRIPETAL COMPRESSOR, characterized by consisting of two opposing cylinders ( 1 ) connected to a main axis ( 4 ), these cylinders ( 1 ) performing a translational motion in space, each cylinder ( 1 ) having double-acting free-travel pistons ( 2 ), where the sole force to act on the compression of the pistons ( 2 ) is the centripetal force. 
     
     
         3 . CENTRIPETAL COMPRESSOR, characterized by consisting of cylinders ( 1 ) that perform a translational motion in space, and this translational motion of the cylinders ( 1 ) is responsible for the alternate movement of the pistons ( 2 ) that, combined with the sole force that acts on the pistons ( 2 ) compressing the gases, which is the centripetal force, produce the continuous movement of compression of the gases.
