rotary screw compressor Explanation: Collection Cold (=DIF79) German Term: 1)Hubkolbenverdichter; 2)Kolbenverdichter Definition eine Maschine,bei welcher das verdichtende Element sich innerhalb eines Bestimmten Raums hin und herbewegt durch Scheibenkolben oder eine Membran-Pumpe,aber nicht durch eine Kreisel-,Dre h-oder Verdraenger-Pumpe English Term: reciprocating compressor Definition a positive displacement compressor with a piston or pistons moving linearly and alternately in opposite directions in the cylinder(s) Spanish Term: compresor alternativo Definition compresor de desplazamiento positivo que consta de uno o varios cilindros en serie,según sea de una o varias etapas,en los que el gas es aspirado,comprimido y descargado mediante émbolos Collection Pumps (=PUM83) German Term Kreiskolben/pumpe; Waelzkolben/pumpe; Roots/pumpe English Term: rotary piston lobe type pump; lobular pump Spanish Term: bomba lobular I would say it is rotary screw compressor. See: Operation A rotary screw uses two rotors to push air through the compressor, which creates pressure. Compression is accomplished by the main and secondary rotors synchronously meshing in a one-piece, dual-bore housing. The main rotor has helical lobes and the secondary rotor has helical grooves (Fig. 2). The air inlet port is located on top of the housing near the drive shaft end. The discharge port is near the bottom at the opposite end of the housing. Figure 2 is inverted to show both ports. www.energyideas.org/energy_solutions/res_details.cfm?resour... Good luck.

rotary piston compressor, rotary compressor , rotary supercharger Explanation: Wyhlidal: Kreiskolbenkompressor: rotary piston compressor, rotary compressor (aufgeladener Motor - supercharged engine) rotary supercharger (Wyhlidal, Kraftfahrzeugtechnisches W. ISBN 3 923195 01 X). THe second paragraph in your query text leaves little doubt that the terms you are pondering (Rollkolben - vs. Kreiskolben) are variants of the same basic rotary principle. An animated graph in the following URL suggest what the Rollkolben version might look like. A Kreiskolben probably differs in the form of, particularly, the rotating member. http://quasiturbine.promci.qc.ca/QTIndex.html http://quasiturbine.promci.qc.ca/FQTAnimText2D.html All the best, Tom See above |

rotary displacement compressor Explanation: I'd stick with that one, here's why: Kreiskolbenverdichter seems to refer directly to the part of the air conditioning that compresses the air for cooling while rotary piston refers more to the car engine's piston. All these are, as you concluded, variations on a theme, with the theme being the Wankel engine engineered by the ingenious Felix Wankel (the resource at the URL is fabulous).
