Abstract A centrifugal fluid vanes compressor for making an effluvium move in the direction of rotation of the fluid vanes and for compressing it, comprising a compression chamber bounded by two parallel walls between which the fluid vanes formed by a flowing fluid which emerges at a high velocity through openings in a rapidly rotating driven rotor, are rotating. The compressed effluvium is discharged and the fluid of the fluid vanes is collected in a fluid reservoir from where it is recycled via a pump. The improvement consists in that the distance between the two parallel walls gradually increases from the center in radial direction in accordance with the increase of the thin layer of fluid that remains behind on the walls from where it may be discharged to the fluid reservoir via at least one interrupted or noninterrupted annular slotlike opening provided concentrically with the rotor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A centrifugal fluid vanes compressor, comprising: a compression chamber having a central inlet for a gas; a driven rotor disposed generally in the center of the compression chamber, said rotor being provided with vanes for suction of gas through the central inlet and having jet channels extending therethrough; a fluid supply duct including a fluid pump connected to the jet channels of the rotor; a fluid reservoir in open communication with the compression chamber and connected with the fluid pump, said reservoir having a discharge pipe for the compressed gas, said chamber having a pair of spaced walls disposed on opposite sides of the rotor and extending radially outwardly away from the rotor, said walls being disposed such that the distance therebetween gradually increases over a major portion of the radial extent of said walls as the radial distance from the center of the chamber increases.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A centrifugal fluid vanes compressor, comprising: a compression chamber having a central inlet for a gas; a driven rotor disposed generally in the center of the compression chamber, said rotor being provided with vanes for suction of gas through the central inlet and having jet channels extending therethrough; a fluid supply duct including a fluid pump connected to the jet channels of the rotor; a fluid reservoir in open communication with the compression chamber and connected with the fluid pump, said reservoir having a discharge pipe for the compressed gas, said chamber having a pair of spaced walls disposed on opposite sides of the rotor and extending radially outwardly away from the rotor, said walls being disposed such that the distance therebetween gradually increases over a major portion of the radial extent of said walls as the radial distance from the center of the chamber increases.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
A centrifugal fluid vanes compressor as set forth in claim 1 wherein at least one of the walls has an annular slotlike opening therein for discharging fluid from the walls, said slot being disposed generally concentrically relative to said chamber, the distance between the walls adjacent the opening radially outwardly thereof being substantially less than the distance between the walls adjacent the opening radially inwardly thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A centrifugal fluid vanes compressor as set forth in claim 2 wherein the distance between said walls adjacent the opening radially outwardly thereof is substantially equal to the distance between the walls at the center of the chamber.
